One guy who better damn well step it up is O'Reilly. He's been pretty terrible the last couple games.
I could see someone getting called up tomorrow. Lake Erie just played back to back games, and has a 3rd game in 3 nights tonight, so if they called up someone, they would have been exhausted.
True, nobody was going to come up tonight. But if they think Benoit will play Tuesday I doubt they call anyone up.
Roy's presser is posted in the media thread. He wouldn't tell Dater where he was playing MacKinnon. He said something like "maybe with Duchene, maybe the third line".
Calling a Galiardi hat trick.
Fixed.
I don't think O'Reilly's been terrible, he's just been off his game. I think he's trying to be a bit too fancy playing with Duchene and PAP. He needs to go back to playing a "smart" game, and not force too many plays.
who's in net for the panthers tonight? Markstrom or Thomas?
Of all people, O'Reilly is being questioned? IMO, he has been one of our best players all season long. That line is having some trouble recently but that started when Downie was replaced with PAP. For some reason PAP is having a lot of trouble with the puck and he is atrocious defensively. You move O'Reilly off that line and replace him with someone like McGinn and it'll be the same as last season. They'll score goals but they're also going to give up a ton. Duchene isn't good enough defensively to make up for PAP and McGinn's deficiencies.
Pretty sure Markstrom is in the AHL now... so, it's the great TT.
I hope Hunwick has a fantastic game.
