Hathaway got a major for being Byfuglien's punching bag.

Gotta love that. He did eventually drop his gloves, though, so the penalty was justified.

 

[Del Preston]

who's idea was that fight? I thought Byfuglien was disinterested in this game.

Big Buff wants to get on the bus as soon as possible and come check out our sweet new arena.

Gaudreau 8 points in his 4 games back from injury.

 

[DJJones]

Love Hathaway but I'm not sure if he can keep this up for too long.

Guys a warrior though.

Winnipeg's D is BAD. Worst thing for them is that they are all locked up and Byfuglien just signed a Phaneuf type contract.

Trouba is probably regretting not taking the long term deal. He's like Larsson, not much in terms of offense. A decent #3 is his ceiling. If he continues playing like this, his value is tanking and he's not getting 5.5M any time soon.

 

[DJJones]

Haha, that sucks for Chad. Everyone thought the game was over.

 

[Del Preston]

Trouba with the buzzer beater. Hold on to your hats.

 

[Anglesmith]

Patrik Laine vs. Sean Monahan in a personality-off. Who wins?

Nosferatu.

 

[Alwalys]

man, the canes are for real. not that many teams beat up on the sharks possessionwise, but the canes do it every time. they are poised to do some real damage going forward.

Matthew Tkachuk with the playmaker on 3 primaries tonight. He doesn't get nearly enough love for what he's doing with Calgary with all eyes cast towards the group in Toronto and Laine. 15 points in his first 27 games. Not. Too. Bad.

He's been great. The Backlund/Tkachuk/Frolik line is what kept the Flames from free-fall when Gaudreau went down, and he's far from a passenger on that line. I've been consistently impressed with some of the really smart plays he makes along the boards every game. He's got a great mind for the game.
