Around the NHL - Same games every day

[Honour Over Glory]

JR leaving so quickly adds salt to that wound.

His analytics were declining but I know @Honour Over Glory is quick to use the term “usage” to dump on Sully but I’d agree in this case.

He’s a top 6 player and we know Sid doesn’t like him on his line but Sully would throw him up there to stir things up when it wasn’t going well. He always had good results with Geno. Can play in the bottom 6 but last season there were too many off mixes with his line.

Obviously I’d have kept him over taking an unnecessary risk on Matheson. You know he will help the PP, can play well with either Sid/Geno and is capable of playing a good role in the bottom 6 in the right circumstances.

If anyone disagrees with this just leave it there. I try to stay out some of the Hornqvist debates in other threads. This is just a praise from me and we’d be better not making that deal especially having Dumo, Petts, Riikola and some thought POJ was ready on LD.

JR might have given Sully a few bad apples here and there but no one asked him to use them the way he did. Which is why I harp on Sully about usage. When a bloke makes a case to his gm to hire JJ, all of that made sense finally.

But yeah, I digress....

2 goals on 5 shots...

Yeesh. I kind of feel bad for him now.

Kahun is Gretzky

 

[Gurglesons]

Kahun is Gretzky

Wtf is Murray doing on that goal lol.

Oh it got tipped by the Sens player eh?

 

[ColePens]

Kahun is Gretzky

Offensive zone faceoff 5 seconds in? Must have been a faceoff win followed by an icing.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Kahun is Gretzky

It's really a shame he shot on the glove side and Murray didn't have a glove to save it and instead tried to shoulder it because why the f*** wouldn't you, right?


What the f*** was he trying to do there. Jesus.

Even then, you try to glove it. He actually had to move out of position to do the weird shoulder attempt. It's bizarre. You use your glove there not shoulder.

Pretty sure Barzy can't do it on his own, Isles.

I remain annoyed the Pens offloaded Kahun.

It's not even halfway through the first and Murray has already been pulled and the Oilers have already scored on Hogberg. Ottawa is SO BAD. NOTHING is good.

edit: the uniforms are good.

Joel Farabee with a hat trick for the Flyers.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

Thirteen (13) minutes have elapsed in period 1 and Hogberg has already let in 2 goals. The score is now five (5) to one (1), Oilers. I cannot stress to you how transcendently bad Ottawa is. It's like an expansion team from the 70s got time-traveled into the future to play tonight's game.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Damnit, I bet on the Sens.

Whyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[ncm7772]

Damnit, another division game goes to OT.

 

[Tom Hanks]

 

[Lustaf]

I mean people want to score watch and blame Murray but that defense is some how worse than the Penguins and they are hanging the goalies out to dry EVERY GAME.

 

[Gurglesons]

Damnit, another division game goes to OT.

I blame the jackass who said he wanted the Isles to win.

 

[Gurglesons]

McDavid at 20 points in 11 games.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Poor Ottawa. 5 goals against in the 1st.

 

[dogthateats]

Stay classy.........

Since the original publishing of this story, multiple sources confirmed to Blueshirt Banter one incident that involved DeAngelo keeping the puck from Miller’s first NHL goal scored against the Buffalo Sabres on January 26. DeAngelo, who was on the ice for Miller’s goal, collected the puck from the net as shown in the gif below.

Murray is basically getting the defensive support that Jarry did his first two games, except worse, and every single game.
