Post-Game Talk: Olive Gardens defeats the Outback Steakhouse

[NJDevs26]

Why? So he could sit in the press box until we maybe had an injury?

Yeah that's the other thing, who would he have bounced out of the lineup, Lovejoy? One of the pairings would have been pretty odd with four L's and four offensive d-men if he had played. Mueller was the suspect one going into camp but they have him on the first pairing and he's playing okay so far.

 

[Nubmer6]

This may be a dumb question, but there’s no way to bring him back right? Since we didn’t go the nine game route with him, it’s all or nothing correct?

As far as I know, he's stuck there till their season is over. Part of the agreement between the NHL and OHL.

 

[Billdo]

They can’t efen announce anything until he gets X-rays and MRIs.

It could still be nothing, but they have to do their due dilligence to make sure nothing was broken or torn before saying anything.

Nah man, he's dead. My cousins, best friends, ex drug dealers, landlords, sister works at The Rock, he was in a black hefty bag under stale nacho chips and left over hot dogs.

Smith is exactly where he needs to be. If management thought he was ready, he would still be here.

that might be the most morbid thing ive ever seen here

Can we bring Smith in once the Chiefs' season is over?

 

[New Jersey]

come on...... dont do us like that

always

 

[NJDevs26]

Can we bring Smith in once the Chiefs' season is over?

I believe so but that won't be till like the beginning of the NHL playoffs at earliest.

Butcher’s shoulder will be sore for sure. If it’s just a bruise and not worse he’ll be back soon. Might as well not speculate. Vats will probably take 1st power play time, though, I would think.

The most impressive thing for me tonight - and really all year with the exception of the Sharks game for a period or two - was our play in our own end. We allowed very little, avoided the long periods of being hemmed in we saw last year so often, supported each other, either made clean exits or regained possession quickly. We didn’t just throw the puck futilely into center ice but developed plays that continued possession.

Our play in the neutral zone against a big, fast, skilled team was also very impressive.
Overall we controlled this game for the vast majority of the time.

While it’s so very early, you couldn’t ask for more. And what can you say about Kinkaid?

 

[New Jersey]

i love this team

i love montvale new jersey

i love the pens waivers

i love based shero

 

[Emperoreddy]

Our overall passing game and plays off the puck looks really improved this year, and I think that is playing a big part in this hot start.

what keith kinkaid is doing is probably the most clutch shit we’ve ever seen from a “backup,” definitely since hedberg’s best starts.

keith kinkaid was also *actually* good last season.

i know its four games but i’m sticking by all of it.

 

[New Jersey]

i love taylor ham egg and cheese

bonus likes for taylor ham

as for taylor hall, hes not playing poorly, just not showing up on the scoresheet.

just wait until he heats up. holy f*** watch out national.

That quote from the Capitals game about us playing like there are 7 players on the ice really is accurate this season. The fast/attacking/supportive system is just swarming all over the ice. We almost always overload the puck carrier to try and force turnovers, and when we do we make quick passes and transition to offense.

lol it was kind of odd he put it there, I almost thought it was some reverse psychology.

 

[My3Sons]

it was boarder line for sure.

dunno why everyone is saying butcher put himself in a bad spot. he had a guy coming from behind and got plastered by the guy in his blind spot.

clean hit bad result... no ones fault. its still hockey.

Is a hit from your blind spot because you got past a defending player clean? I think the hit to the rear quarter panel should be called if the player goes down but maybe it is within the rules?

 

[New Jersey]

if jsd scores 10 goals this season (yes i know he has 3 already) while actually contributing as a hockey player and not just a goon shero looks like a genius.

if he somehow scores 20 shero is on some cosmic brain shit.

 

[glenwo2]

That helmet...just...FITS Kinky(both figuratively and literally) perfectly.

nico's save in the third was hasek-esque. kink owes him dinner.

You think Nico gets taken out to dinner at Chipotles??

Those are the $1 dogs.

I have little doubt Lou would have taken Over behind the bench by January.

And the team still would have struggled. I think Hynes is very conventional with his bag of coaching tricks but even a great coach would have had a problem willing that team to win.

Did he think Khudobin was just trying to keep warm by doing jumping jacks in the middle of the game?
