The pk has been in the bottom third of the league all year so how do we “need” him for the pk again? Bergeron, Marchand, Kuraly, Wagner, etc. even Krejci is good on the kill. How many pk do we need to dress?
I get people hate Acciari but he's going nowhere at least while Nordstrom is out.

PK has been much better as of late.

Krejci has begged to PK but CJ nor Cassidy will oblige him unless it's a double minor or we are in the late stages of a game so he's not an option.

We roll 3 pairs on the PK: Marchand-Bergeron, Acciari-Wagner, Nordstrom-Kuraly

Begeron and Marchand are also on the PP. You need another dedicated PKer because Marchand-Bergeron get short shifted.

I know it' not the sexiest part of the game but I can't be the only one who pays attention to this stuff.

Us Flames fans will always be grateful for when your Bruins beat the Canucks in the Finals. We were the biggest Bruins fans after you guys, haha.
Should be an interesting game tonight. Smith is starting back to back games, and apparently he does not have a great record against your team, so either he will be surprisingly good or just.. bad? Lets have a good one tonight.
Mike Smith career vs Bruins = 4-12-0; 3.23 GAA; .889 Sv%
Mike Smith career with no rest = 5-12-1; 2.89 GAA; .908 Sv%

Not sure we need 4 4th liners in the line up to handle PK duties, but it is what it is.

The thinking is we need those guys rested for the 5 on 5 and PP. Worked well when we had Eriksson killing penalties and I thought that is what Backes would do but he is not good on the PK. Being ranked lower may have something to do with icing AHL deemen most of the year to date.

Calgary media has been talking a lot recently about how theres only 1 line in nhl that can compare to theirs... then they say the guys in Colorado

I think its a good time for Bergeron and the guys to remind Calgary who is number 1

I like the Colorado and Calgary lines a lot... but they both battle for the title of who is second best line in nhl and who is 3rd best is the consolation prize

Frankly, every forward should know how to kill penalties. It's not a tough skill to learn. A coach would also have a lot more flexibility in terms of his roster.

Bruins have a habit of making bad goalies look good.
