It would be nice for this team to start getting the first goal and leading after the first period. It seems the Pens are always chasing.

Gotta at least start racking up points consistently. I wanna see a couple good games against that have their crap together, and please god minimize the mistakes, but hey. Two points

Next 5 are Car/Det/Phi (all away) then Car(home)/Nyi(away).

No reason we shouldn't be able to go 4-1 in that. None of those teams save the Isles are even in the playoffs.

He skates hard and battles but he ****ing sucks with the puck on his stick. Seriously he blows. He is the first guy that needs a change of scenery.
Hasnt he done this with pretty much every team hes been on? Comes in on fire, then starts to settle in and his lack of skill stands out. Gets traded, rinse, repeat.

Sure, but Columbus was down more players this time as well, so gotta factor that into it. Also, our PP has this weird habit of looking better when anyone other than Letang is on it.

Cole was great, hes really the only guy on this team who plays with that physical edge other than Letang.

Whatchyall asking for letang?

Well, we missed Shultz and Letang and had two guys go out during the game. We had a bit to overcome ourselves.

First period was awful but we came good. If Murray plays a little better we probably don’t need OT

Will this be the much needed boast they needed? Sure hope so. We'll see. Terrific comeback tonight.

So, we all wake tomorrow to see Cole traded?

Was about to ask what time you wake before realizing who posted this.

Now that I know it's you and that you'll be sleeping off quite the Jager bender . . . um . . . maybe?

Some have said Maata and Hunwick had good games? They wre both minus 2 tonight. As far as Matta looking good on the powerplay? Any solid d man looks good with a man advantage. No Letang and Dumo wasn't a minus? Hmmmm

God help us all if we're seriously trading Cole and having Oleksiak and Hunwick play regularly.
Oleksiak has had two decent games and one not so decent game. Lets give him a bit, eh?

Hunwick on the other hand has had more than enough time, and is much older so a known quantity. He should never have been signed.

So far tonight the Metro has picked up 9 of 10 possible points. Just amazing. Every night. They really need a run where they go 8-2 but it's going to have to come out of the thin air because they have not sustained good play for any length of time to this point this season.

Yeah, KIRK and many others said - Cole's performance tonight was monster. We just don't have that in our defense. Can't give him up. Move Hunwick. Do not move Cole.

I liked Sully better when winning mattered more than his ego.

Of course, I also used to say the same of Bylsma, but I digress . . .

So if you're JR what do you make of that game? As usual a turd of a first, but then the team wakes up.

Must be infuriating for him trying to decide whether moves need to be made because the team does occasionally show signs of life and they'll have a win like this which you think they might build a streak off of. And then they.....don't.
