+This team has some big brass balls

 

[clefty]

Great to take that one, but this powerplay is going to cost us huge sooner rather than later at this rate.

Konkussed Kunitz was there.

 

[KIRK]

+This team has some big brass balls

- This coaching staff thinks Kunitz's are the biggest of the bunch.

 

[Hossa die Waldfee]

I have only been able to watch the OT. Has anyone a quick summary of the game?

 

[robes1]

Kessel-Sid-Letang should never be broken up in OT.

 

[IcedCapp]

Give Phil the C

 

[sf expat71]

Fix the PP. Otherwise, great game as far as the battle level for both teams.

 

[Shady Machine]

Huge freaking win. The PP blows but great effort overall. This team is dictating the play 5 on 5 most nights.

Good news is Kessel looks really engaged and the confidence is growing. Letang is a freak athlete. Daley is awesome. Sid is pretty good.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

+ 3 points off 2nd place and first round HIA.

 

[FDR]

My two takeaways from this game:

1 - We lost most of the board battles i thought.
2 - Lovejoy is unable to hit anything on his shots but the back boards.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Great win by Kunitz.

- This coaching staff thinks Kunitz's are the biggest of the bunch.

I hate him so much and after you mentioned a possible trade that didn't happen I'm done. Kunitz is a ball.



Chicago is struggling at a bad time. It's a surprise, tbh.

 

[KIRK]

Poo played almost 20 minutes tonight.

Really, this defensive unit, minus Dumo, minus Maatta, look at it:

Letang, okay. Daley too. But, two #7's, the guy who was run out of Edmonton, and the guy who was benched after the guy who was ran out of Edmonton was acquired.

You know what, mad props to Jacques Martin right now. I'm not sure what more a coach can get out of this unit.

Pens sweep the weekend games again.

That PP in OT had my face -________- the whole PP. And i yelled at the broadcasters saying they survived it NO **** IT WAS AN EASY KILL!!!!! pass pass pass pass SO MUCH OPEN ICE pass pass pass pass pass

 

[Coastal Kev]

+ fats and Hags
+ Letang, very good game


- First line, yucky cucky tonight
- JR for Lovejoy. He makes me nauseous.

 

[BeautiPhil]

+Kessel is a beast
+So is Hagelin
+Kuhn-Cullen-Rust
---Kunitz
-Our D looks pretty lost without the only two defensive-minded guys out of the lineup. The Pooh-Lovejoy pairing especially was pretty bad.
--PP still awful
-Bonino wasn't good.
=Crosby had a pretty mediocre game all things considered

 

[AjaxTelamon]

Give Phil the C

I did not realize that was an option. But the Phil is in on a ridiculous number of our goals lately. Even when he doesn't get points he's strong on the boards and making things happen.

This Phil is a difference maker.

 

[lettuceAA]

This is the hockey I was expecting coming into the season. Only took a few trades, a few roster moves, a retirement and a coaching change for it to happen.

 

[barbosa]

Great to take that one, but this powerplay is going to cost us huge sooner rather than later at this rate.

If we can lock up a playoff spot, your concern is moot. The refs swallow their whistles in the playoffs.

 

[Shady Machine]

+ Lange and the Ole 29er ripping on Lovejoy for constantly "intentionally shooting it wide"

 

[KIRK]

Great win by Kunitz.

I honestly don't know how Kunitz pulled it off with Sid taking the night off instead of following his lead.

 

[OnMyOwn]

+ Kessel with another nice game.

+ Sid taking over on that 3v3

-----Kunitz. He was really really bad tonight.

- Powerplay needs fixed. Take Kunitz off of it and put Kessel back on it.

 

[Waffle Fries]

Phil is good. Winning is fun.
