So the special teams are now even. :l

Just saw the 3rd goal. Does Benoit realize he is a defenseman?

There's not nearly enough appreciation for what he and Mez are going to do for this organization this season...and years to come.

 

[joshjull]

'Hodgson not able to get back on the play to break it up' seems like something we will hear a lot.

Why the hell does he always stop skating once he crosses into our zone or shortly after. His coasting is maddening.

 

[Kublakhan]

we can have all the McEichel's in the next draft, Who is gunna stop the damn puck??

 

[Tapu Coco]

Lol Kane just victimized gio

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Then why don't they just measure possession in the offensive zone (in minutes and seconds), instead of measuring a proxy for possession in the offensive zone?

Shots are easily and already tabulated. Time in zone requires someone tracking it to measure it...I'd venture plenty of teams do it in-house. But that data is harder to come by.

 

[Myllz]

Apparently Gionta can't cover Kane.

 

[SamuraiArt]

Did Myers forget to wear his cup tonight? Looked like he got popped pretty good in the scrum.

EDIT: Shaw got what he deserved.

 

[Samsonite23]

Myers got chopped in the nuts then straight up threw a right hook at shaw.

 

[Beerz]

Soft Myers.

Yea, he's got to clean that up. If you're not producing, backcheck your arse off! Get in a lane, take a body.

 

[joshjull]

Eat the glove in your face

 

[Myllz]

Best play of the night from Myers.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Myers gets sticked in the nuts, and he goes to the box for roughing? lol, OK.

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Shaw is such a rat, he's a poor mans Marchand. What a joke

 

[Beerz]

Rob Ray:

I'm glad Tire Myers did what he did

 

[SackTastic]

That's the angry Myers I love to see. Although hopefully not after nut shots.

 

[Tapu Coco]

Enroth

 

[Chainshot]

I'll take Myers blasting a guy in the melon after something like that. Sucks that they scored on the PP>

 

[sba]

on which planet is Benoit a good PKer?

 

[Myllz]

I changed my mind. Enroth is the tank commander.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Best play of the night from Myers.

The anti-Myers agenda though will say something like "great it's easy for others to get under his skin"...well to pre-empt that argument how many people would a spear to the groin NOT get under their skin?

 

[tsujimoto74]

Of course they score on that ******** PP.

 

[joshjull]

Has Benoit been on for every goal against tonight?

Not only should he have been signed to a bridge deal to further measure his value to the team, his position on the team needed to be evaluated. I hope his contract doesn't prevent a trade when the right time comes along, because if he's not going to be a C here I highly doubt he's the type of winger to push the team toward a Cup contender.
