SHOOT THE PUCK
Was not expecting help from the Devils, but I will take it!

So I rewound the tape back to the Marchand/Cirelli dust up....which was actually an awesome three man pig pile on Marchand.
I love hockey when everyone starts giving a shit.

Don't be surprised when the Devils likely give us hell in our remaining two games. Again, they've been a team playing pretty solid for a while now.
It probably did help that Shesterkin had his momentum interrupted with that injury. It will be interesting to see how he does down the stretch. It was nice to see Claesson get a goal. He seems like a solid bottom paring NHL dman. Someday, we'll not have such an easy time signing every dman in the known universe despite there only being 6-7 NHL jobs.

Claesson might’ve been a steadier option than two of our bottom three.
Gorgeous goal. He maintains his lead of goals on the year over Trocheck. Love him and miss him.

Yeah, I believe that's right. I was half watching the game as the Devils kept scoring, and wondered which of Georgiev or Lundqvist was in net. I was surprised to see Shesterkin.

Then they weren’t broke! Probably just bruised. I had a non displaced fracture once, they wouldn’t let me work for five weeks - but it was three before I could’ve even started to prematurely been a pain in the ass about it. At about four I could’ve worked but it definitely wouldve been a little tough. At first the doc said it would be four to five weeks if it was a nasty bruise, five to six if broke.
Can’t imagine any bone healing in ten days, especially one that get pressed into every time you breath. The initial impression must’ve been out of whack.
CBJ dominates the 1st period, Oilers up 1-0 anyway.
Probably can’t stay up to watch the whole thing.

The Sabres have not won a game in regulation in the month of March since 2018. That is not a joke BTW.

Just saw the Wallmark goal. Awesome. I'm sad we let him go but he'll do well there.
HA! The sad thing is I never would have noticed that typo (? idk what was I even thinking fully tbh) if you hadn't disorientedly -fingering-pointed it out lol!
theraflu is a hella of a drug, y'all.

Special thanks to Koskinen. He made a lot of solid solid saves when this was still a game.
Oilers looked pretty rough most of the game, though they picked it up in the 3rd even before the goals. They kept getting it in the zone nicely, and often did a lot of good in the zone, but they just refused to put good shots on net pretty often.

It’s always fun watching narratives blow up in people’s faces. Fiala took so much heat...as did the Wild and now they’re/he’s proving everyone wrong. Two goals, both snipes including the OT winner and the Wild are holding onto a wildcard spot. That kid has been ridiculous. Rask....speaking of narratives....with a goal like we haven’t seen from him since the year that got him his contract. Nice cut to the middle and strong finish.
Suter with 48 pts is second on the team behind Fiala. Did not see that coming. I didn’t think he produced like that anymore, had to check to see he kinda does. Still that’s a huge year for him with time left to add to it.

You know it's a bad contract when the day you sign it 99% of people around the league wrinkle their nose and go "ugh" and then the player proves why they did that the very first year of the deal.
23 points and a minus 22. Holy hell

Coyotes blew a 2 goal lead and lose in regulation. Their playoff chances get slimmer all while NJ is staring at another lottery pick. Not what we need.
God help the team that overpays for Taylor Hall this summer.

If all you had to go on was the underlying numbers, you'd never in a million years guess the Canes had spent the last few weeks in 9th place. Goal differential, goals per game, shot differential, possession stats, even save percentage. It all adds up to what should very easily be a top 10 in the league kind of team, and yet here we are looking at teams with much worse numbers with the same number of points we have and counting games in hand. Frustrating, just a little.
