im cool ……we should all enjoy this break.
some bull**** things lately but im gonna roll one and have a few and let it go…….. its easier for me perhaps as im off work so im embracing the dude style
That bothered me. So did parking Hall in front and not having the puck on his stick. But at the end of the day, they had a chance to win and Hall hit the post instead of the back of the net. Such an annoying game.Where was Bratt on the OT PP?
I hope we don't need Cory to have a strong second half.
I'd much rather we keep scoring enough. We got some great contributions from bottom 6 guys but you can't expect that continue. We need Palmieri, Zajac, Johansson and I would even add Zacha to pick up the pace in the 2nd half. We need Severson to contribute more and Andy Greene to hold up.
We scored 130 goals in the first half... I am utterly shocked by that number but I don't expect that to be duplicated in the second half... especially as we get into all the tighter division games...but if we can score another 100 we'll be in good shape I think?

Frustration from all the ref nonsense was creeping in.
Over thinking and squeezing sticks leading to mental mistakes. A week off to reset is just what they need.
Sometimes I think Devilswede and DD are related.
i am so discouraged over the lack of breaks.
also, at what point is it not a coincidence anymore that this horrendous officiating keeps screwing us?
We heavily outplayed them today which makes it even more annoying.
He's one of the shrewder guys here so I'll take that as a compliment. Thank you.
You have Hall having a career year in goals and really not expecting any significant drop from our rookies.Despite the fact we were living on ridiculous pace with a bunch of kids playing way over their heads, we can duplicate the 130 goal pace.
But whatever we think the kids might bring in the second half - we've got to hope that Hall, Palmieri, Zajac (?!), Mojo, and Stafford play their best and pitch in at a pace that they've produced in their career - and then the kids bring the gravy. Boyle, Bratt, and Gibbons' shot % is unsustainable, but they are still playing well.
I think Miles Wood can continue doing what he's doing. Zacha and Nico have to grow bigtime in the 2nd half for us to keep up our scoring.
130 goals:
- Hall : 17 (+2)
- Gibbons : 5 (-7)
- Wood : 7 (-4)
- Boyle : 7 (-4)
- Bratt : 7 (-3)
- Nico : 12 (+4)
- Palmieri : 15 (+9)
- Moore : 5 (-1)
- Noesen : 4 (-1)
- Coleman : 4 (-1)
- Mojo : 10 (+5)
- Zajac : 10 (+5)
- Severson : 4 -
- Zacha: 7 (+4)
- Hayes: 2 (+1)
- Butcher : 2 -
- Santini : 2 -
- Greene : 2 -
- Vatanan : 4 (+3)
Still - I'm betting on Cory returning to Vezina form and righting the ship. No more 4 goal games...

I keep having it in my mind that this was a regulation loss, but fortunately I keep forgetting about going to OT and the shootout (which is a good thing) and remember that we got a point today.
We're okay now, but things are really gonna get out of control if we come back and lose to Philly on Saturday.
We’re probably gonna come back from the break and win our next 5 while playing like garbage because nothing about this season makes any sense.
