You must have missed the Mario Tremblay era in Montreal or the Mike Kitchen era in St. Louis.

Housley makes both of them look like Al Arbour in comparison. This is as terrible and embarrassing a 2 season stretch as you could name in the past 30 years.

 

[JustinCase]

This is already an upgrade over Sparks. The five hole is already considerably smaller.

 

[GlitchMarner]

Gaaagner!

 

[kingsfan28]

I thought that I knew how fast Austin Wagner is, but that was absolutely ridiculous. Even if the Chicago defensemen were standing still, that was still some blazing fast skating.

The fastest player in the league nobody has heard of. That was McDavid speed, and that's not pumping our own tires.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Mark Stone had a 5.56% CF against San Jose tonight. 1 CF and 17 CA.

 

[kingsfan28]

At least Jones didn't give up his usual 4 goals tonight, but still maintained that below .900 sv pct [ .885].

 

[Cellee]

"We did a good job of taking the crowd out of it," deadpanned Sens goaltender Craig Anderson, who was fantastic in the home victory.

Is that something you guys joke about?

"No," Anderson replied.

 

[koyvoo]

Dallas comes back from 2-0 down to send it into OT and still has the chance to clinch tonight if they get the extra point in OT or the shootout.

 

[JerseyMike34]

Annnnnd OT sucks again.

Tremblay made the playoffs twice

 

[Ted Hoffman]

Tremblay made the playoffs twice

He also ran off Patrick Roy in a fit of petulant rage and self-grandiose ideas about his greatness as a coach because he was a HoF player.

 

[Avs44]

I think shooters are 0/12 so far in this shootout

 

[Hint1k]

Someone should tell goalkeepers in Vancouver that its ok to let goals in

 

[Hint1k]

I think shooters are 0/12 so far in this shootout

0/14, before 1 was scored. I think its probably a record.

 

[Ted Hoffman]

Housley makes both of them look like Al Arbour in comparison. This is as terrible and embarrassing a 2 season stretch as you could name in the past 30 years.

I don't know. Kitchen arguably didn't have a ton of talent when he was coaching the Blues, but he regularly showed he had no idea what he was doing behind the bench. Not sure what exactly is going on with Housley and the Sabres, but it's pretty apparent they've all mailed it in and are just going through the motions to get to the end of the season at this point.

Relative to expectations - especially in say early December - I'd agree, what's going on in Buffalo since then is pretty damn disappointing.

 

[Ted Hoffman]

0/14, before 1 was scored. I think its probably a record.

Watch shooters now hit on like the next 12 shots in a row.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

man vegas-sharks is going to be a series

Gonna be a sweep for Sharks at this rate.

 

[Avs44]

Markstrom just blanked 8 shooters, look ridiculously cool doing it.

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

Stars can beat Winnipeg and Calgary, but can't close out games against the worst teams in the league.

 

[Hint1k]

Watch shooters now hit on like the next 12 shots in a row.

you jinxed it!

 

[JustinCase]

Leafs can beat Winnipeg and Calgary, but can't close out games against the worst teams in the league.

Fixed that for ya

Stars can beat Winnipeg and Calgary, but can't close out games against the worst teams in the league.

They've played to the level of their opponents all season - they have a great record against the top teams in the West, and a mediocre-to-bad record against everyone else.

Bodes well for the playoffs at least...

 

[Dr Pepper]

Ugh, another loser point for Dallas.

At least they'll clinch in the next day or so, just would've been nice to do it on their own terms.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

At least Jones didn't give up his usual 4 goals tonight, but still maintained that below .900 sv pct [ .885].

Jones: 35 wins

Los Angeles Kings: 29 wins
