12-0 shots.
2-0

Umm wow.

 

[Mario_is_BACK!!]

Losing to Montreal is still beyond frustrating but their play against the supposedly unstoppable Flyers does make things feel a LITTLE better.

 

[BHD]

Weber keeping Sean - "Ron Francis" - Couturier in check.

 

[KIRK]

Oleksiak is score. GWG with <40 secs left. Wow. Good for the big rig.

Pfft. He got beaten up by Tom Wilson. Who needs him?

 

[Gurglesons]

12-0 shots.
2-0

Umm wow.

Almost like Montreal is actually good and people completely missed the boat on their analytics and the fact they did exactly what they didn't all season and are playing their youth.

 

[KIRK]

Playoffs have been a coming out party for Suzuki and Kotkaniemi.

Price and Weber are playing like they're 5 years younger, but IMHO the thing that really stands out about that team right now are Suzuki and Kotkaniemi and what I'd call their infectious energy and enthusiasm.

Not just playing their youth, Pixies. Playing their youth more. Took Julien about 15 seconds to recognize what the kids were bringing to the table and to start riding it.

Sullivan was like that . . . once upon a time.

Kotkaniemi wasn't playing in the regular season and has been their biggest driver after Suzuki.

100%

Could you see Sully riding a kid up front like that?

2016 or 2017 . . . sure.

Now?

Nope.

 

[Mario_is_BACK!!]

Also Julien had heart surgery?! Jesus

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Hart having a very Murray-esque outing against the Habs today.

Probably a big rallying call for the team too..

All the shots are going in glove side high?

[/HF Murray comment]

Carter Hart only wears his goalie pads at night.

Eh. I think Sully would be forced to play a player with that pedigree in terms of drafting.

Yep. 4th line. 6 minutes a night style.

And god help the kid if he makes one ******* mistake.
