Go team!
I’ll check in for updates. Can’t watch tonight.

Be better this time….

 

[57special]

Showcasing Merrill, hopefully.

 

[Sweetnut]

Who would want Merrill? Could we somehow trick the Sharks to bite on that sucker too?

You've got the idea.

Surely that would have the opposite effect that we would want if we were trying to trade him

 

[MNRube]

Love to see Zucc & Kap separated. Need to tinker with lineups to see how Zucc plays without a superstar. Be nice if it turns out he can add scoring to a 3rd line eventually. I think Kap will appreciate the extra space he gets with JEE & Boldy.

Tampa maybe ? They could probably find someone better though....

Sounds like it's an effort to get Boldy and Rossi going, both were invisible against the Hawks. It's of course better for Rossi to play with a skilled guy instead of two grinders.

It's an effort to get the entire top six going, they were all invisible against the Hawks.

Zuccarello specifically had no shots and at least half a dozen turnovers.

Louder for the folks in the cheap seats!!!

He was one of the only forwards without a shot in the game. Totally invisible. That top line wasn't broken up just to get Rossi and Boldy going....it was to also to rid the stench of the staleness of Kap with Zucc.

Not sure about the flowers in the numbers.....

In fact, the only two other forwards who had 0 shots were Lettieri, who had 2 assists so he gets a pass, and Gaudreau, who I'm 100% positive doesn't actually play for us anymore because I haven't seen him all season

Didn't Gaudreau leave the game injured too?

Anyway, I guess Russo is saying we have a chance tonight. Crosby is onboard with the tank.

If they play like they did against Chicago, Crosby is scoring 6 points tonight

We have a pretty bad record when playing games with pregame ceremonies. Just a bad, bad feeling.

Hey!!! Can we place that 1000 flower setup in front of the net tonight?!

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Lol. Leipold could only pony up 5k.

 

[NHL1674]

Lol. Leipold could only pony up 5k.

Pretty sure it's always 5K from him. Like finding a penny in the couch for him.

 

[Roman Maroni]

My son made the trip over for this game.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Pretty sure it's always 5K from him.

That's like 5 bucks to us schlubs. A donation is a donation, but dang. Lol

Less than 5 bucks. But yeah.

 

[Sweetnut]

Enough with the shenanigans already.
Play with that new stick, Flower.

Hell yeah!!! Use the silver stick.

Anyone else worried about the first 10 minutes here? Gotta shake off the emotion and distraction from it all.

 

[NHL1674]

And penalty already! Good grief!
