GDT: Game 73 | Penguins @ Islanders | Sid Might Do Something

[Ugene Magic]

OTTAWA - The Ottawa Senators issued the following statement regarding team captain Erik Karlsson and his wife, Melinda.
"The collective thoughts and prayers of the Ottawa Senators organization, the city of Ottawa and entire hockey community rest with Erik and Melinda Karlsson following the loss of their son.
We ask that you respect the family's wishes for privacy during the grieving process."


Another one?? WTH

That's just devastating.

Thoughts and prayers to Erik, Melinda and family.

That’s just horrible. Like I said with the Staal situation I am a father of 3, a 5 year old and 6 month old girls, and a 3 year old son. And I hope I never have to see any of my kids pass. No parent should ever have to bury their child.

And I preface this with not wanting to be cold blooded in anyway and what I said prior should say that, but obviously Staals contract situation is different than EK. This even brings another huge element into EK’s situation in Ottawa going into free agency.

Edit: vabm8 had the lineup posted already.

Rust after a shift with Sid...

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

I'm excited. I like watching the Isles since Barzal has joined the team. They seem less dirtbaggy.

 

[vodeni]

its really funny when Mears says things like: "Islanders are very dangerous opponent although they lost 11 of last 12 games"....

 

[Daeni10]

Love the 2 weeks every years where we haven't switched to summer time yet and 7pm games start at midnight here

 

[ColePens]

Alright boys. Let's start this week off with 2 pts. And 5 points from Geno

 

[Ugene Magic]

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

I've missed you, Matt.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

hopefully Malkin takes the art ross lead by end of this game.

 

[ColePens]

Isles start off in a full trap?

 

[ColePens]

God I love you Mur. Welcome back.

 

[KIRK]

Baptism by fire.

My lord.

 

[Dey so soff*]

Defensive breakdowns already...

Ouch.

 

[Daeni10]

This camera angle is already killing me inside

 

[JakeNBake59]

way to get Matt in the game early Pens

 

[KIRK]

Isles start off in a full trap?

Perhaps a better defensive strategy than leaving Tavares open alone in front of the net?

 

[HuskerTornado]

Nice of the guys to give Murray some early work there......

 

[vodeni]

excellent defense to start the game, looks like captain forgot the game started and let tavares unchecked there

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Here, Murray. No need to be eased in.

 

[Turin]

Woah goaltending that actually prevented a chance

 

[bambamcam4ever]

All started after Rust's questionable positioning in the Ozone

 

[Fatty McLardy]

f***ing Crosby, cover your man instead of floating...

 

[Turin]

excellent defense to start the game, looks like captain forgot the game started and let tavares unchecked there

He’d make Ovechkin blush with his lack of in-zone compete.
