[FooteBahl]

My god can he fly

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

That would’ve been amazing

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

This kid is gonna be a beast at the NHL level

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

o no

 

[Clam Jensen]

Damn son

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Welp....

 

[Hisch13r]

Awful miscommunication at the blue line between a couple of the forwards. Puck doesn't get out and it winds up in their net...

 

[Devils731]

Crazy end. Everyone on Michigan just overskates the puck.

 

[MWagg72]

Jack, Luke and Bratt in OT

 

[HischierSeDgewOrk]

oh well. Hughes is a lock for 50 points in 2 years.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Michigan looks a lot like Toronto. Tons of skill, but when they break down, they break down spectacularly.

 

[Devs3cups]

Great play by Luke to almost win it. Unfortunate. He had a good game. Overall still, more than great season by him.

 

[Eggtimer]

Was Luke on the ice in OT for the goal against?

 

[FooteBahl]

So is Luke in the lineup Sunday? Partially kidding .

 

[Devils731]

Was Luke on the ice in OT for the goal against?

He was but wasn’t really at fault at first glance.

Big problem was 2-3 guys skating by a free puck at the top of the zone and then everyone was out of position.

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

Was Luke on the ice in OT for the goal against?

Yes

 

[Devs3cups]

Was Luke on the ice in OT for the goal against?

Yes wouldn't put the goal on him though, it was a crazy sequence. 2-3 forwards had the chance to skate the puck out, just left it there, play goes back, goal.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Rough way to lose. Broken play, Luke ended up with two guys in front of the net with him.

 

[Devils731]

Was Luke on the ice in OT for the goal against?

Hughes is in front of the net covering 2 guys.

 

[Hisch13r]

Just f***ing brutal from Lambert. Doesn't get it out and then gets caught puck watching instead of tracking Savoie

 

[Unknown Caller]

Was Luke on the ice in OT for the goal against?

He was directly in front of the net when the goal was scored and the closest to the goal scorer, but I wouldn't put the goal on him. There were two open Denver players around him, and Luke took away the backdoor. The pass went to the other open man in the low slot.

 

[Devs3cups]

Hughes is in front of the net covering 2 guys.

In my mind, that goal is on Lambert (23). Hughes is covering his man, 51 is covering the pass. Lambert doesn't take the trailer, just stands around.

Exactly. Hughes had his man.

 

[Hisch13r]

In my mind, that goal is on Lambert (23). Hughes is covering his man, 51 is covering the pass. Lambert doesn't take the trailer, just stands around.

Yup. He also had the chance to get the puck out originally and doesn't. It's on him all around.

 

[Devs3cups]
