[The Gongshow]

4-2 isn't bad... I was expecting worse

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

sigh....

 

[Iceman]

If Fleury got that goal then I would be done with hockey and this team.. I promise ya.

 

[DFC]

Right on schedule - Flip with the phantom assist.

Flip deflected the pass and made it go off the Penguin player's skate.

 

[FDfranklin]

Trade Stamkos while he still has value.

 

[Stephen]

Stamkos has been bad this game.

Stamkos reminds me of Kessel in the sense that he can be absolutely useless. If you didn't know anything about hockey and you saw him tonight and then watched Kucherov or Johnson out there, you'd have a hard time figuring out who the superstar was out of the three.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

I want Vasi to start tomorrow.

 

[The Gongshow]

Gudlevskis in net tomorrow and 27-91-24 to start the game tomorrow. Make it happen Coop, If not then I have lost faith in you.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Tip your hat to Fleury, he played great tonight. We did not after the 1st period.

 

[Brie]

I hipe that Cooper keeps the 27-91-24 line together for a while and don't just look at this game when they had like 2 shifts together and let them play and get to know eachother.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Ottawa and Buffalo go to OT

It seemed all the other Atlantic teams keep getting points.

 

[Yzlamic Preacher*]

Only if NyQuil counts. I have a cold

I have a cold too, but after Bish went down all logic went out the window.

 

[Yzlamic Preacher*]

I want Vasi to start tomorrow.

I want Gudlevskis. I'll fight you for it!

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

I want Gudlevskis. I'll fight you for it!

You're on.

I'll start hitchhiking to BC and be there in time for the game tomorrow night.

 

[FinnLightning26]

The thing I'm most disappointed in this game is the leadership core. The team wilted like a fragile flower when Bishop got hurt. What did Stamkos do? Callahan? Hedman? Absolutely ****ing nothing. Stamkos isn't putting in a consistant effort this year. I don't know what it is but he sure as hell better find out. He can be the best player on the ice or completely invisible like this game. I guess Teddy Purcell passed his role to Stamkos before leaving.

 

[The Gongshow]

All I want for Christmas is Nabby gone.

 

[DFC]

I don't see how Coop doesn't go with 27-91-24 after that. And after seeing it together, it's ridiculous that we had to wait this long for it.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

All I want for Christmas is Nabby gone.

All I want is a win streak.

 

[dbieon12]

This is a joke. Time to rebuild. We are not elite. WE ARE NOT ELITE. We are trash. Lost to ****sburgh.

Vasilevskiy or bust.

 

[Yzlamic Preacher*]

You're on.

I'll start hitchhiking to BC and be there in time for the game tomorrow night.

We'll meet in the middle at the border.

I mean, it makes sense. But has he paid his dues enough yet?

Drouin with just shy of 15 minutes of ice - probably would have been more but for Brown's penalty later on. He should be getting 17+, so we're getting there.

He got played a lot near the end, Coops finally letting up I guess.

Well until he's scratched tomorrow.

 

[RegularSznAllStars]

Disappointing to see an exact replica of the Lindback situation from last year. Ugh, by the end of that game I was cursing that team as the worst I had ever seen, only to remember we dominated the 1st period. Funny how quickly things change...

Also, about ****ing time cooper makes some adjustments. Although, I do not like paquette centering the 3rd line (at least with killorn and brown on the wings). Hopefully we will see some new lines next game, cooper has to figure out how to get this team going mid game.

End of the game I think Flip was centering the third, but he also shifted Killorn down there for a shift.

I just have this feeling that if Palat comes back he'll go back to Drouin on the third. I just know it.

It's borderline idotic to reduce center depth in order to reunite a line that hasn't worked all season.
