Boo

Caps scored early? Good.

 

[rynryn]

Wild are going to get stomped tonight. too much time off. newbs playing d.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Isles broadcast just said Stralman is a healthy scratch. I’m guessing that’s not accurate.

 

[JerseyMike34]

Pretty much the whole Leafs team isn't even on the bench/ice for the ceremony. That's not right either.

That is odd, only about half the team is out watching the ceremony

Wait, so Toronto schedules ceremonies like nothing most of the time but when they are on the road they don't have to sit and watch others? That seems wrong.

I agree... They should be there, in uniform, respecting a former Maple Leaf that is also going onto Legends Row.

All of our seven defensemen are on a one game rest rotation except for Hedman and McDonagh. It started when Strålman came back from injury. Last game was Coburn's turn. Tonight Strålman. Then will be Cernak, then Girardi and then Sergachev's turns.

I’m sorry but that’s incredibly stupid unless Stralman has seriously fallen off a cliff this season. (And from what I’ve seen, he hasn’t.)

Like, an NHL Head Coach is actually scratching Anton Stralman in favor of Dan Girardi. It’s 2019. Wow.

Red Kelly looked pretty happy to sit down.

TBF, Stråls did have some struggles when he first got back from his month long injury, but he was back to normal excellence in the last game vs the Pens.

Yeah, it's not exactly a popular decision on our board, especially since Girardi sucked in the last game and Strålman was the best defender in that same game.

 

[The Red Line]

Woohoo Red Kelly

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Plenty of games to choose between. Which ones are worth tuning into so far?

I tuned into Isles/Bolts and I’m enjoying it. Good action on both sides between #1 and #2 in the East. You also haven’t missed any of the goals as it’s still 0-0.

 

[mel]

Nice pass by Crosby but Guentzel was all alone there.

 

[bukwas]

Delvecchio, Kelly.
I watched those guys play.

Great memories.

That's awesome.

Honestly, even as a Wings fan, I thought his number was already up in the rafters. So glad he finally made it, had his whole family there, and at 91 was there to see himself honored. Pretty cool.

Crazy that he was a Norris winner as a great D-man and also a good center later in his career.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Vintage Crosby. Makes that look so simple, when it's not. Labotomized Duchene with the deception and edge work.

 

[cliffclaven]

Hawks/sabres.. no idea how that is interference on risto for the hit on Kane. Toews jumps in and somehow it’s even up.

 

[tarapoto2006]

Backlund with the sick mitts

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Backlund with the sick mitts

Damn, nice goal. Almost a GoTY candidate and probably worthy of it's own thread.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

The officials have missed so many infractions that Tampa has committed. No way the penalties should have been even in that period.

 

[The Red Line]

Backlund with the sick mitts

Whaaaaat

That one's got to be a candidate. The finish was beautiful but that flip to himself is just on another level.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Backlund with the sick mitts

That was nice but what in God’s name has happened to the Capitals defense in the past month?
