Ryan Callahan: Where there's a will, there's a dive.

Callahan nearly draws a penalty every game.

Callahan nearly draws a penalty every game.

Our PP thanks him.

 

[The Macho King]

Callahan nearly draws a penalty every game.

Diving is a skill.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Ho-Sang needs a night or two off. He's been ridiculously helpful to us.

His AHL stint was pretty short-lived too.

 

[DFC]

The rare Sustr slapper. I feel like I'm watching National Geographic.

 

[DFC]

I feel like Ho-Sang's punishment for this game is not being benched. I can't believe he's still out there.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Oh man, how great will it be for koekkoek and sergachev to get a full season of nhl play, before the inevitable season ending injury before/during the playoffs and they’re expected to play 20:00/night.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

In other news, NHL.tv is the best!

 

[Stammertime91]

Callahan nearly draws a penalty every game.

That's about all he's drawing.

 

[Stormbreaker]

2 more points!

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

2 points!

Nice job by the offense.

 

[DFC]

I think the biggest positive from tonight is how good that 3rd line has looked. We know our top-six will score. If we can add a contributing 3rd line...

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

2 point convert failed but still get 2 points in the standings and that was with Point getting a point.

 

[The Macho King]

First star?

 

[Stormbreaker]

Kucherov and Stamkos still leave a lot to be desired. Sustr outplayed them tonight.

 

[Fabiobest]

Yes...great win and great reaction.
I hope next time to see the game in HD

 

[DFC]

Killer was outstanding all night. Strange that he's not scoring goals but having arguably his best season (so far).

 

[The Gongshow]

All the lines looked good tonight, which is a plus.

 

[Brie]

That was a fun game and the team did a great job getting back on track after those terrible 10 minutes in the 2nd period.

 

[DFC]

MTL lost.

We still have a decent cushion over the Atlantic. And I think we're now +32 on the season, far and away tops in the league.

 

[Stammertime91]

I'm glad Conacher has done well. This could really blossom into a great fill in to our bottom 6 woes. Guy has 3 points. Brown, Paquette and Callahan are so bad offensively that he should be forcing them out of the lineup before he gets sent down. We can afford a mistake from him at times when we've been rolling out broken hips, hot pocket and Brown for a combined two goals.

It'll mostly be Brown. I highly doubt we'll be scratching Callahan for him and Paquette is a center.

 

[Sky04]

Conacher plugs fine into the 3rd line, he has enough offensive IQ to keep that line afloat. Although not a fan of Johnson with Stamkos, teams spend way too much time worrying about them when they aren't doing anything dangerous and they do garner zone time. Killorn-Gourde get to run wild on those bottom pairings though.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Paquette has been terrible. Not sure why cooper loves him so much.

 

[Shoresy Snipes]

Won on faceoffs tonight, 33-25. When was the last time you've seen that?
Guess we need more threads about it for good luck
