Backstrom = Favre 2.0?

 

[llamapalooza]

Backstrom deserves no blame. Geez.

He had a good long chance to set up before the shot and he was completely unscreened. That puts it on the goalie.

 

[Victorious Secret]

Any time you can take a pointless interference penalty after your team scores a PP goal, you can't pass that up...

His first shift was lackadaisical, too.

 

[melinko]

what is backstroms save percentage on the year?

.840

 

[Puhis]

Backstrom deserves no blame. Geez.

Yep. While he has let in 2 goals, he had very little chance to save either of them. Granted, we haven't seen any good saves from him either.

It seems like he has gone from being a very good, borderline elite goaltender to an average starter. It's not like our goaltending's a mess, but it seems like we can't count on Bäcks to make any gamesavers either.

We'll see though. It's only the third game of the season.

 

[rynryn]

4th line is looking decent.

 

[this providence]

He had a good long chance to set up before the shot and he was completely unscreened. That puts it on the goalie.

If comes out to play his shooter there, he leaves an empty net. No goalie overplays his angle that much on a PP. And when you do, well we just sort of seen it with Rinne...

 

[Puhis]

Clayton Stoner gained the zone and took a good shot.

I repeat, Clayton Stoner not only gained the zone, but took a good shot as well.

WHAT IS GOING ON

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

400 Points for Koivu.

 

[rynryn]

Clayton Stoner gained the zone and took a good shot.

I repeat, Clayton Stoner not only gained the zone, but took a good shot as well.

WHAT IS GOING ON

was it Konopka with the breakout pass?

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

JEsus christ.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

We should just pick a random Predator to boo the beejeezus out of.

Future goal.

 

[GopherState]

Penalty shot? Penalty shot.

 

[llamapalooza]

Ballard.

What. The. ****.

Well it's Backs so this is more or less an automatic goal.

 

[Avder]

Oh good.

They get a penalty shot.

incoming 3-1.

And oh crap Backs is hurt.

 

[this providence]

And now a penalty shot.

Call a timeout already.

 

[GopherState]

And now Backstrom's hurt.

 

[Fel 96]

Uh oh.

 

[Puhis]

Penalty shot? Really? Nystrom just ran Bäckström.

 

[Victorious Secret]

Backstrom is hurt

 

[rynryn]

****...

well here ya go.
kaboom.

 

[LordFletcher]

I thought Nystrom lost his balance more than anything

 

[THEKOSTAJA]

**** hope he is not badly injured, not looking good

 

[NHL1674]

Well that's one way to get Backstrom pulled. But it looks like my wish ain't happening tonight. An injury a game...we're leaving off from the same crap last year.

 

[this providence]

Can't leave Backs out there for this.
