powerplay coming up

 

[Linkens Mastery]

KYROUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[BlueOil]

the powerplay also looks good today

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Gotta wonder how Tucker feels knowing That even with 2 injuries to the Blues d-core he still got passed over by Kessel and Rosen, who weren't even on the NHL roster initially, for NHL playing time.

Kyrou shrugged that dude off to still get a shot off. lol what?

Shame

Thomas running the PP from the right point looks a lot like he did in London. I really like him there. He's not going to shoot a one timer, so why even put him on his shooting side? I think the right point makes a lot of sense.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

It's because the dude was injured on the hit. Even though I think Blais avoided actually hitting him. The only camera angle they showed was hard to tell.

Yep. They punished the result. That wasn't even a 2.

There's no way Sammy can stop his momentum there and you expect an NHLer isn't going to trip over his own feet.

Glad we responded with another goal though. Good first now let's keep it going.

 

[Puck Luck]

so glad we don't have Allen anymore. he gives up some horrible goals

 

[Hrkac Circus]

A Jake Allen team down 3-1 after one. Definitely brings back memories. And that Blais call was wrong. He had less than a second to pull up when the guy stumbled and got in a vulnerable position.

Jake makes the tough ones look easy and the easy ones look impossible at times.

 

[DoubleK81]

These refs are out of their f***ing minds.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

LOL

It's always weird to me when someone gets embellishment when a penalty actually occurred.

I personally think more people in life should be punished when they're being overdramatic.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Aussie! Thanks Jake!

 

[Xerloris]

So we're on the 2nd game of a back to back and it's an afternoon game and we're winning? This is weird.

Krug splits Armia's twig one-handed. Impressive.

Well to be fair, Krug had just hit Armia in the stick with his face.

This team is going to push Army into a slight buy mode. No moves for rentals, but if there is a player with at least 1.5 seasons left of term or a RFA this summer, I think Army will very much consider something. Upgrading the middle 6 and another big minute 2-way defender will give this team a boost.

I don't think he'll buy anything unless he views them as a long term fit for the team.

That's my point, someone that has term and/or team control and fills the holes we currently have.

Maybe that means someone like Hanifin, Chychrun, or Chabot. Maybe that means someone like Frost or Middlestadt. Or some other player that fits similar to those players. A way to create a quality 2nd pair or boost the 2nd line long-term.

I could see him shopping for a rental with one of our 2nds.
Probably don't get much more than an Okposo type but I can see Army doing it.

Allen gives Thomas a gift! 5-1 good guys!

Man, Jake's having an awful game.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

He's playing on the 3rd line and has 9 points on the year with poor defense and possession numbers.

He's fine as a part time 4th liner/13th forward where his effort is the only thing that matters; but in his current role he's dragging his line down and is a strong contributor to our abysmal 5 on 5 play.

Mmmmkay...

Feel bad for Jake. He's better than this.
