Do a good PP.

Do a good PP.

It was not.

 

[hangman005]

Maybe we should have kept playing.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Oh please don't try to camp on a 1-pt lead for 20 minutes.

 

[hangman005]

Lets play a 1st 1st period, that 2nd 1st wasn't great and I'm not confident in a 3rd 1st period.

When Eichel comes back, I think we need to giving some thought to moving Stephenson to center, team looks totally energized with him at center and Cotter sliding in at the wing (who looks to be a mini-Chandler, big and fast). That can move Roy down to fourth line with Carrier and either Koleslaw or Howden. Then get a third line wing at about the 3 million salary at the TDL and voila, a contender.

 

[hangman005]

PK time...... a shorty would be nice.

 

[hangman005]

That was called by the crowd.... right call but this is not a good start to the 3rd.

 

[hangman005]

Alright time to pull finger for once.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Tied game. Better than I expected actually.

 

[hangman005]

Now would be a great time for the PP to actual do something.

 

[hangman005]

Well we got a point, which is more than I thought we would... but why not make it 2.

 

[hangman005]

This OT strategy of just give the puck to Boston, doesn't seem to be working.

 

[Vegan Knight]

LOL we get possession in OT, time to leave him alone and make sure we get a line change! Got to be safe and give them possession right back. Then give up a two on one anyway.

 

[hangman005]

Good PK, but my good the rest of the OT was utterly stupid.

 

[hangman005]

SMITH DOES IT!!!!!!!!!!! SHOOT OUT WIN!!!!!!!!!

 

[IceNeophyte]

Good PK, but my good the rest of the OT was utterly stupid.

My fave was Stephenson going all LEROY JENKINS! While his two OT ice mates were changing.

 

[hangman005]

Yet again, though another strong LT performance. Thompson bails out this team so much.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

The frustrating thing is that the VGK have the talent to play with anybody, but the effort is tidal.

It feels like this team always starts out playing hard, but then stops as the game goes on. Although i am a little more forgiving this game being that we are missing two of our top players and were playing against the best team in the NHL who was also on a 14-0 home winning streak. Yes, it did suck giving up a 3-0 lead, but getting a victory in a shootout when i expected a lose is a win in my book.

Agree. Frankly, I was ecstatic that we were getting at least a loser point against Boston.

Less estatic was giving up multi goal leads in 3 out of the last 4 games. Something we are really going to need to work on, but for now I'll take the 2 points and the hope we are getting things rolling again.

Right, but I had little doubt that Boston was going to come back to at least within a point just because they are the best team in the league (sorry, Devils). IMHO, losing this lead was less concerning than losing the lead against the Pens. But agree that maybe this game demonstrates that they are finally out of that post-Buffalo funk that they were in.

They can't all be masterpieces, and a win in the toughest building in the league is something they can build off of. Cotter almost earned a year's worth of get-out-of-the-coach's-doghouse-free cards with a GWG on top of his two others. I'm hoping he can be at least a Hyman-lite for us.

Happy for Bruce.
and I'm hoping whatever it is, it all works out OK for Pietrangelo

And that was a rough game for Miro, but he did have a nice recovery after a bad turnover. Overall he's a bit further ahead and less...shall we say, adventurous than Coghlan was a few years ago.
