Have you ever called in to Boers and Bernstein?. They'd love to have this discussion with you. Please, just let us know when you're about to go on so we can tune in.
Like Boers & Bernstein would take a regular season hockey call
He's not so sure yet.... must check the stats first.
I don't know how you can say the 3rd D pairing was "terrible". We had a shutout, Oilers barely had any quality chances. Terrible? C'mon.
scuds is most likely but how can you not call him Missile?
Missile is actually a brilliant nickname for him. Using it now.
Don't missiles typically travel relatively quickly?
It's true, I don't like going straight off the eye-test, or 'Earth is flat' test, because eyes often lie. Numbers dont.
I wasn't shocked to find that yes, the stats reinforce what my eyes told me. The 2nd line and the 3rd pair had the worst possession stats on the team. Hemmed in their zone all night.
I'm glad it didn't bite them in the ass tonight. Hat's off to Crawford being godly again. But that's two games in a row where the 3rd pair has been hemorrhaging shot attempts and zone time against, and if it continues (which it will), then it will exploited by better teams.
The 2nd line has been good enough, long enough that I'm willing to write it off as a bad game. Hopefully they get back to where they were against Buffalo.
