Larkin was invisible for two periods. If showing up for one period is your best showing of the year, you got problemsAll things considered, this was a great game. They were the better team, Larkin had his best game of the season imo and dominated the Blues the last two periods. Hopefully they can carry over the momentum against Edmonton. I'm totally fine with losing these types of games.
This still doesn't excuse Bernier though. Unacceptable.
At this point they might as well call up Larsson, I'm sure he can keep his GAA under 5.Gotta feel so bad for the kids. Work their tails off for a W and Bernie just ****s the bed.
Would of rather just lost in regulation
I only caught Helm going down. Then saw the replay.Covering an empty net? Bernie completely vacated the net, then dove right into Helm.
That sequence is entirely on Bernie . He should have held the post, not chase the man around the side of the net.
When the coach starts playing line blender, especially with a guy that gets double shifted a lot, it tends to cause confusion. The lines need more consistency.AA last man over the boards on that Too Many Men.
It wasn't boring 3rd periodat least the offense gave us something to be excited about, it wasn't a boring game
5-4 losses are bearable, 2-0 losses are not.at least the offense gave us something to be excited about, it wasn't a boring game

Keep in mind the Blues took one too, and they're a much more stable team that just won a Cup last season.
I can’t imagine a playoff team that sees Howard as such a significant upgrade to make a trade for him. Maybe he goes for a measley return as insurance in a backup role but then what’s the point. This team needs extra first rounders badlyDoes Bernier's play mean Howard is not a trade target for the umpteenth time at the deadline? Or is Howard's equally ****ty play the reason he won't be traded?
Howard is a dissent goalie ,but if we have opportunity to get 3rd rounder we should get itI can’t imagine a playoff team that sees Howard as such a significant upgrade to make a trade for him.

all four of the regulation goals we gave up were on the PK right? well the second one was just after the PK expired
If Green gets 20-30 pts he'd likely get a 1yr $1.5-2M Shattenkirk type contract from some GM, as a #4/5 & 2nd PP specialist.If he plays like this all year there may not be a next NHL contract for him.
