Had a feeling the icing would cost us

 

[Chainshot]

Jack. Bow wow.

 

[Ralonzo]

This may draw certain opinions list flies, but there are lot of analytics people who are pointing to the death of the slap shot as a weapon from the point. Teams that are generating most of their points from the blueline without slappers.

Or at least they do it with slappers that don't need to be winched up like a trebuchet

 

[DJN21]

Beautiful.

Rafter scratchers have always been a bad idea.

I'm getting the national (WGN broadcast) feed and had no idea what you were talking about until I rewound and saw just in the corner of the screen Seabrook bring the elbow up into Girgensons face. No mention at all of the play, no replay, no notice of Girgensons being out although I was wondering why Wilson was out with Eichel next shift.

Poor work, Chicago.

The Buffalo cameras saw it, but I don’t think the broadcast mentioned it except to say he was going down the tunnel.

 

[sabrebuild]

Did they score?!?

 

[Chainshot]

Dig you beauties, dig!

 

[Ralonzo]

ROR from Sam and Jack, nice

 

[slip]

ROR fist bumping Jack sighting.

I would even say common sense says is not the more effective way to get the puck through. In Marco’s case it’s made worse with his reach for the stars wind up.

 

[Moskau]

RoR showing Sam how to get some power behind your stick.

 

[sabrebuild]

2 for Sam. Good to see he isn’t going passive with the Return of the King.

 

[joshjull]

Ok Ryan, you need two more points to make my random out of my ass prediction true.

 

[Chainshot]

Saad almost got cleaned out by Larry there. Would've been amazing if it had connected.

Larry is almost a good player.

 

[sabrebuild]

Oof, ugly. Everyone

 

[joshjull]

That was ...... something

 

[Chainshot]

Risto into his own net. Damn.

 

[Bones Malone]

Risto wants another Rasmus on the team

 

[Chainshot]

How many concussions is that for Girgs now? Had a couple, including the sucker punch thing, in the AHL and has had a few in the NHL.

 

[joshjull]

Jack with a bad turnover sending the Hawks the other way leading to that goal. Gotta look before throwing it up the wall like that.

 

[Der Jaeger]

Might work. We could see them sift in all the Cerberus guys next opener, just to go with the low-hanging fruit and keep roster depth in-house. I'm not eager to see Botts throw Moulson money at wingers to fill in the top 6. Or the third line. Or the fourth line.

Bleh. Where's my coffee...

Agree. I think Baptiste has a bottom 6 future, and Fasching has a top 9 net front presence future. I don't see a spot for Bailey.

 

[Panthaz89]

80% of the time whatever line Larsson is on gets dominated.

 

[Chainshot]

Nice slewfoot on Larsson by Sharp. Larsson challenged him. Heh.
