13-14 ATL/Scoreboard Watch: It's Miller-Time in the Show-Me State [Miller-Ott to STL]

[Daisy Jane]

All in all, a good night.

Most teams we wanted to lose, lost. Sadly, Leafs crapped the bed against an easy team.

Should have gotten 2 points.

yeah. we would have been over tampa had we gotten it. (sigh).

 

[Nasty Nazem]

they might score in the shootout.

Honestly, as much as our defense gets slammed, does anyone ever point to Pittsburghs?

never mind. Pittsburgh you SUCK.

Penguins have far more severe injury issues on the blueline. I am pretty sure at some point this season, they had all top four of their defensemen out with injuries. They are missing Letang and Martin while relying on a 19 year old defensemen (though he has been quite a revelation this season).

I think they're fine when they are healthy (which is kinda never).

R.Miller & S.Ott to the Blues for J.Halak, C.Stewart, W.Carrier, 2015 1st & 2016 3rd

 

[Peasy]

Huge trade. St. Louis is STACKED

 

[Suntouchable13]

Sucks for Buffalo that they have to lose Ryan Miller.

Yeah the title use to just be Around the league but then they added the Scoreboard Watch

Niemi is such a mediocore goalie. I wonder what would happen if he played behind this young Leafs team.

Hfboards would then consider him overrated and not even worth a 3rd round pick.

This is why I can't be a commentator. How the **** did he think of this as an appropriate analogy.

I think the funnier part was - the way he said it, like he was disgusted. that is hilarious.

We lose 5-4 to the Isles, and they lose 6-1 to the Devils. What a bunch of BS

We gifted them free goals by playing terrible.

I am just glad we got a point the way we were playing.

So did St. Louis trade for Miller because he had 2 assists in his last game and they're looking for offense? Shut-out 1-0 in their last 2 games, wow.

 

[I Believe]

Scoreboard watch is looking pretty disastrous today, so boy do we need to win.

scoreboard watch always looks disastrous to us. I'm hoping Dallas can pull off another two goals and win in the third.

 

[Pi]

Pretty much every result going against us so far. Chances of that happening are so small but it's about to happen

Their offense is garbage. Not a single dynamic player or game breaker in the lineup.

They will choke in the playoffs like they always do.

I don't really agree, they're 3rd in the league in GF, and 1 team above them has only 1 more goal with 2 extra games played so they're 2nd in GF/game.

They don't really have that dynamic offensive star but I don't really think they need it to succeed. They have a handful of good guys who can crack 50-60 points if they stay healthy over a full season. They're entire top 9 is filled with them.

And their defense is amazing. Now that have awesome goaltending.

They don't really have that 1 star, but they're built for the playoffs imo. They might not win because winning the cup is so damn tough especially playing in the West, but I don't really think you can name a team that's clearly a bigger favorite than them.

I just found it funny they got shutout 1-0 2 games in a row so they trade for a goalie
