Jarry suddenly bouncing back and playing like a starter is the least shocking shit ever.

Jarry suddenly bouncing back and playing like a starter is the least shocking shit ever.

Turns out being healthy is important for goalies.

Also the robo Penguin jerseys are once again very very good.

The second Rust starts not being a pile, this team will be unstoppable.

 

[SomeDude]

+ Kapanen- team instantly got better once he heroically started sitting in the press box.

He’ll only be a hero if he requests contract termination so he can go play in Switzerland.

Good luck with that...

Marcus Pettersson having 9 points in 21 games is the most shocking part of this season.

Second most shocking is the fact his head is still connected to his neck after that game.

 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

I barely have the bandwidth to even load scores, but it sure seems like this team missed Teddy.

Always feels good to crush the Flyers even though they are a bad team who is decimated with injuries. Was nice to watch Pettersson kick that guy’s ass though. I felt a little bad for that guy, he probably didn’t know who the dragon was. Lil Uzi, Blue, and Archibad line looked awesome

Malkin was very obviously conserving his legs tonight lol. When we got that big lead Geno was just gliding out there.

Don't hate it. You need a few easy wins like this to preserve the legs.

Big man has been playing amazing for games where GCR was throwing games. Malkin line was #1 line for a couple.

He can take a game off.

I am prepared to eat a big helping of crow on this one. “The Dragon” was the first blue liner I wanted us to dump this summer, before Marino, before Math and his forever contract even.

He looks settled with Letang right now, steady and he’s contributing. Good on MP

 

[Tender Rip]

Petts getting it done on the 1st pairing is pretty huge.

Rusty was terrible, but Flyers were too bad/injured for it to matter. PP, same story. Didn’t look quite as bad today, but you have to score once in a while.

Dumo was OK today, but still the weak spot on D. Carter awesome on draws, but really doesn’t look up for much else.

Big up to L4.

Let’s nail the Leafs tomorrow.

I kind of wish Sullivan would put Kapanen in for Heinen. He's just kind of there at the moment and doesn't really add anything to that line. At least with Kapanen there's more speed on that line.

The rest of the lines are fine.

Yup, right on. Heinen has gone cold, and Kap is sitting in the press box. If we’re going to move KK via trade, his value couldn’t be much lower, so no harm if he comes into the lineup and does squat. But if he comes in and racks up a few points, who knows? With McGinn still relatively hot, we could see Kap rack up some points, and have some teams receptive to a 1-for-1 deal.

The one Gurg proposed on the main board, for Christian Fischer, would be great. A big body on a cheaper deal who could find a niche. The niche had Kap has consistently failed to find. Maybe Guerin still holds a candle for him.

I think Fischer has had too good a start for that to work now.

Yeah 6 points in 19 games. Wow!

 

[Turin]

Haha oh my bad I was confusing him with Crouse. Yea fair game

 

[canadianguy77]

Good luck with that...

I dunno. He sort of has a history of playing like doggiedoo for 20-30 game stretches but just as quickly can turn around and go on a 20-30 game tear.

 

[Ryder71]

Hopefully we can extract a little revenge on the Maple Leafs from last time out against them. Let's get it done boys!

Our fourth line tonight was stellar! Since Teddy's come back into the lineup it looks like a very formidable and consistent fourth line. Really like what I'm seeing from those guys!

Definitely did a number on Deslauriers's knuckles.

Yeah Pettersson is lucky to be alive and Deslauriers took it purposefully easy on him IMO.

 

[66-30-33]

Missed the game, was working. I saw some talk about Fischer? I'm all for getting bigger. We all know it when we were a tiny ass team and it sucked.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Letang is starting to look better lately. Dumoulin as well.

Rust is the only holdout who continues to look like absolute dog shit every night. Need a lot more out of him.

I also noticed Dumoulin looking good today. His skating looked much smoother today than it did last year and the start of this year.

The only concern I have with this team right now is L3, and it’s mostly because Heinen has disappeared recently. He’s not playing bad at all, but he’s kinda just there and not really doing anything. For what they’re paying him, that’s not really a major issue, but he should be providing better.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

Did you see the last two left hooks before it was broken up? Those were the most damaging of the brawl, IMHO. I think Des had plenty of malicious intent, as is his nature, but Petterson wore him down a bit, keeping him at bay, barely. Not too many fights that dude has lasts that long standing up. This changes my opinion of Petts, in any case. He knew what he was walking into. Hopefully this will guilt/inspire Letang in continuing to regain the minimum play level this team absolutely requires to stand a chance.

Pettersson got his ass kicked lol
