Only saw the 3rd. We're a lot better at the Cooper Shell now.

big 2 points!!

It's easier when you run a more conventional trap than a 1-3-1

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Let's not forget, Kuch also deserves a lot of credit for enabling Point's incredible feat. The passing on the PP tonight was siiiiiiick.

 

[DaBolts]

Just an excellent effort. This team needs a tad more polish on defense with Cernak and Serge and it will be so dangerous to the league, it's not even funny.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Celery is such a good player. Unreal how well he has stepped in and played like an NHLer from the start.

I like how he's not afraid to mix it up in the scrums too. He and Paquette give the team some grit.

 

[Hoek]

What spoiled brats. We got called for some garbage penalties to start with and they score on a hand pass, but they take 3 blatant penalties in a row and everyone over there loses their shit. So glad we won.

Yanni the Great, too

Solid win tonight. Love the way Gourde and Point are playing

 

[Master P]

Missed the game but glad to see the result

 

[The Gongshow]

I have both Point and Kuch on my fantasy team, so it was a solid night

The goalies union just put out a tweet saying d-men shouldn't be allowed to do this.

That was a good team we played, might have turned out different if not for that twilight zone sequence of events that happened at the end of the 1st.

On the Cernak front..he played a very Cernak like game tonight. 6 hits, 3 BS, and a total beast in the neutral zone. He had half the Pens bench pissed at him by the end of the game through being clobbered taking the red line. Don't underestimate the effect that had in helping to tilt the ice from the second period on. He's still uncomfortable when he has the puck for more than a couple of seconds, we'll start seeing some offense come when he gets over that.

Only point I'd push back on...

Pens are not good right now. And they were missing someone pretty good from their lineup to boot.

Lose to the Sens and the Sabres, beat the Pens. Isn't that just the most Lightning thing ever?

Although the Sabres haven't sucked so far while the Pens have.

We beat a pens team just barely, missing arguably the best player in the world, Derrick brassard, and with a cold goalie still shaking off the cobwebs. Plus the refs handing out penalties like std's at burning man. Not quite the accomplishment really. Fun game to watch, but it's nothing to be proud of.

 

[ccman68]

I think we need to do some changes to our lines. While Point had a hattrick which is nice, the second line was pretty much invisible at 5v5 for like the 3rd game in a row. Miller has also been playing like ass for a while. Wouldn't mind putting him back to the 4th line because that really seemed to work for him and right now he is only holding Kuch and Stammer back.

 

[LonLon Lei]

he never stops doing this every game.
wish his offensive efforts get rewarded like Cirelli too. It has gone quiet on the board a little.

I somewhat agree. I actually didn't enjoy the game all that much thanks to the millions of penalties. think I've watched more entertaining low scoring games this season. still glad we won and Dom was just fine tho. Next game we'll be tested yet again and see what we got.

His timing on some things is just slightly off, but will be fine with some time. My god I love his game. He has some nastiness that we don’t have. I said it from the time I saw him and serge at prospect camp, I though cernak looked better. Different players obviously, but he is gonna be so solid for us.
