[ekill08x]

big win. sloppy first 25. barzal ignited the energy

 

[SI90]

Varly 1st star because without him this game could have been over after the first period.

 

[Big L]

Varly’s best game so far

 

[mm11]

Professional road win

 

[xECK29x]

Coming out party for Varly

 

[bigtim1988]

YES! YES! YES! Beautiful win!

Varlomov--who I thought looked shaky at first--played excellent, came up with huge saves in the 2nd and 3rd.

 

[Uncle Duke]

great win by brock

Great work by Nellie in the circle when it counted.

 

[TeamKidd]

GOOD COACHING...that short bench tightened up our D and let us keep the lead. Unusual for Trotz but he was reading the room right tonight.

 

[Skip To My Lou]

First game I felt very confident with Varly in net. Hope he continues this play.

LOVED what I saw from Wahlstrom.

Barzal is just f***ing ridiculous. No further comment.

 

[islesfan186]

Great game by Varly. Game coulda been over after the first if not for him.
Love that Barzal is shooting the puck more too. Good things happen when you do that

 

[SI90]

Sweet flip of the wrist on that snap shot by Barzy.

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

VARZAL

 

[BTrotts19]

Varly 1st star because without him this game could have been over after the first period.

Agree, feel like the goalie whisperer is making his mark, and expect it to get better

 

[NittanyIsle]

Grindlanders, 2 points. Slowly starting to see some signs of last year's team. Not all the way there yet, but getting there.

 

[Uncle Duke]

The stoppable force beat the movable object.

 

[Rehabguy]

Wahlstrom another great Snow pickup. Looks like the real deal.

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

Regardless of how putrid WPG's blue line is , again, holding this team to 1 goal is an accomplishment. Look at that top-6...

 

[12Dog]

He's making 700K a year, essentially a 13th forward salary, this was them betting on him, he pans out and maybe next year you get 20 goals out of a guy being paid bupkis.

Doesn't look like he has 20G potential in the NHL but it's just a move to keep him in the organization, I don't hate the kid, he's fine as depth but not in the top-6 and not on a 3rd line with Brassard playing center.



I don't disagree with you.

13th forwards aren’t opening night middle 6 wingers
Unless he’s there for Ladd?

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

13th forwards aren’t opening night middle 6 wingers
Unless he’s there for Ladd?

That's who he's there for until someone cracks the roster. Looking like it'll be Wahl who belongs. Bailey can play either side

 

[12Dog]

Jeeezus H Christ
When was the last time this team had a guy who could win a faceoff?
The Carter administration?

 

[pursuit81]

The stoppable force beat the movable object.

Argh, no like button! Well struck.

 

[tntkid]

We will trade you our goalie and coach for yours.

 

[Strait2thecup]

barzal is such a beast. Just like I said, the numbers weren’t reflecting his play. Keep wally up and get a healthy ebs and hai knows. Mat can hit 90 this year if he stays this dominant. Kid basically won us back to back games

 

[BillD]

Missing Zeke in a game against this team was huge but we survived despite some shaky moments. A solid road win that could have been more artistic, but we got 'er done.

 

[SI90]

We will trade you our goalie and coach for yours.

This was the first game Varly looked good.

 

[BTrotts19]

We will trade you our goalie and coach for yours.

Throw in Scheifele and Connor for MDC and Brassard and you have a deal
