It's great to get any win at this point...but every problem we have was exposed in this game....D was terrible...48 shots against... Poulin had have the game of his life....first line did all the scoring....I mean Frans even looked awful in the shootout...we have no secondary scoring....none!!!!

Regardless, happy b-day.

As for the first line doing all the work, hopefully Nelson and Strome can help see to that.

Let's just hope Poulin is just "tweaked."

.....do you believe in miracles?......yes!!!!!!......

de Haan played almost 26 minutes...good for the kid...

And played them well...

I'm happy for the kid, far too many people wrote him off and forgot just how good he really is.

All the guys who were drinking... now you have to drink every game.

He was okay. Had some defensive hiccups, but he did move the puck well, especially late in the game.

A "W" finally. Lets see what this means for Cappy's future.

But let's enjoy this for now.

I feel your pain. I have another week left of my 20's. There's a lot of stupid **** I need to do before I officially become an adult... does 30 constitute an adult? Or is it just like being 20 except with more money?

 

[enigmatic]

if JT continues his amazing face-off play as of late, do you consider using him on the PK in the FOGO role (lacrosse terminology meaning face off get off)?

 

[Uncle Lou]

BIG WIN, strome coming seems like the perfect timing ...feels weird actually winning the game.

 

[steveat]

night guys...it's 6:30 am here i skipped all the games because of the stupid hours, but i woke up in the middle of the night to catch the last half of the game...i think i need to do more of that haha

the whole team played well..good night folks

 

[Strome18]

Bench Strome, this team is on a roll.

 

[srednalsi]

Vanek and KO score in regulation and in the shoot out...

Don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing....

 

[isleskovalchuk]

wow a win...

Poulin welcome to the big time, first time he stole a win for us.

Vanek-JT-Okposo are playing great. Once the puck is in the O-zone they are creating chances.

Where is the secondary scoring?!! Hopefully Strome adds a different dynamic.

I think Grabner has been great the past two games, hell break the snide soon. Bailey on the otherhand was invisible again.

I am shocked, and so happy to see De haan looking like our most comfortable defensemen the past two games. Way to go kid

It's sad we are only 4 games, and 8 points out of a playoff spot now. No way we deserve to be anywhere clsoe, but just goes to show how bad the metro has been.

 

[Quicklime]

And played them well... I'm happy for the kid, far too many people wrote him off and forgot just how good he really is.

His skating always impressed me, I'll say - seeing him stand up & hit against Joe Thornton and not get his shoulders destroyed reaffirms a little faith in his durability. I just feared how well those shoulders could take the NHL. Six games in and he's holding up nicely. I hope it continues.

So, now we know it was Bouchard and Regin all along. They were the problem. Whew!

My advice to you as a middle aged man: if your doctor asks you if you get up at night to pee, say no even if you have to lie. If you say yes, really bad things will happen to you.

lol. We should be so lucky.
