I have a feeling Benn had been *****ing to the refs all game for a call and they just wanted to stick it to him.
By the way did the Stars tie a game once with a goalie pulled ? I know they have goals to get closer but to tie it ? I don't think so.
By the way how does the team play so much worse infront of Khudobin than Bishop ? He's 13-14-3 but has incredible individual stats. Just the team infront of him just doesn't play well all that often.
They may be more confident in Bishop, and his puckmoving abilities help a lot as well. Khudobin creates a lot of problems for himself and the team whenever he touches the puck, and he always has wild scrambles around the net.
Still Khudobin lost quite a few games where he gave up two or less. Even without Bishops puckmoving the team should be able to score 2 goals to at least get it to OT. But yes the games with Khudobin in net fairly regularly are the ones where the team is outshot badly since they struggle more to move the puck out of the defensive zone without Bishops puckhandling. Hell fairly regularly Bishop prevents defensive zone time altogether since he just takes the puck away really early and stops the opposing team in its tracks.
Khudobin often times makes things more difficult for himself too it seems. Not just his puck moving but in general it just feels like he makes things more difficult than they need to be but its effective still
Also Ritchie should sit after beeing benches and just playing ~6 minutes. Thats just useless imho.
I hope zucc is drinking lots of milk , we sure could have used him last night .
We have now allowed the Hawks to stay in the race, and either they hit 69 points on Monday or the Coyotes tie us at 75 points cause they play each other.
