Sorta OT, but CBJ has probably the most obnoxious in-arena sounds/music choices besides Philly's PECOOOOO POWER PLAYYY.

Nope the idiot from NJ wins that. Guy thinks hes announcing a monster truck rally.

funny how Henrik makes key saves and gets 1st star over Stepan's hat trick. Cam Talbot doesn't even get 3rd star but somehow Bobrovsky gets 2nd star on the night.

Maybe it's just me....but this whole "o" thing is utterly annoying and not funny.


As for the game. Solid win. We've been far more creative on O and on the PP than ever with Torts. I'm thrilled we're not strictly a dump and chase team.

Talbot is extremely poised and a solid backup thus far.

Very happy with the team thus far.

BUT BYRON ****ING SUCKS. GIGANTOR WHO ISN'T FIGHTING EVERYONE OR SCORING 50 GOALS. AND HIS STUPID FACIAL HAIR AND THE FACT THAT HE'S MERELY AN ABOVE AVERAGE SKATER FOR HIS SIZE INSTEAD OF ELITE.

C'mon, son.

The Boyle hate on these boards has always been comical.

Boyle's been really good as of late.

And before that, he was terrible beyond anything. Do you know what they call a Brian Boyle that doesn't play with heart, fire, win battles, or use his size?

Watching replay.

That 1st Hagelin goal was dripping with hockey iq. Awesome use of his quickness to cut in front of the CBJ dman & great job by Cally reading the play.

Team looks really confident and creative in the offensive zone.

I will also say, i like Anisimov's play in this game. Would love to have him back some time.

They might not be good comparables but watching Gaborik and Kreider side to side made me feel pretty good. Gaborik is a floater in the truest sense of the word, did absolutely nothing while not scoring (which he really didn't do). But then there's Kreider where although he didn't have any goals he continues to just fly. Playing physical, getting it to teammates, backchecking, rushing the puck, I never thought Kreider would be a bring-it-every-night player. It's getting harder and harder to say I hope he keeps it up, because that's all he's been doing.

Well put. And then the slight difference in expences and prospects makes it even more obvious. Weird how things changes fast in this business from last season and early on this season. They have done a good job with him.

Good win.

Taking a good look at the Metro, even if we end up being a mediocre team, we should make the playoffs. Because the Metro SUCKS. The Pens are better than us, but the only other 2 teams I consider somewhat challenging us are WSH and NYI, and they have more holes in their rosters than we do, imo.

It's such a relief to see AV in the Box when someone is taking more or less dumb penalties. No eye rolling. No head sheaking. Just move on.
Last game when he was interviewed he actually managed to say "my pleasure" in the end. As entertaining the old press conferences were, I like this approach better.

They're good when we're winning.
But I love Torts pressers after a loss. It gave me something to look forward to :P

Not willing to consede Pens are better, especially when Fleury is their #1 tender

Good win. Great 2nd period; Bob was a beast to keep it close.

However, pouliot continues to do dumb things; unnecessary icings, dumping when there's a play to be made; soft passes in D zone and shockingly Mr. Boyle played like Mr. Boyle; slow to the puck; no offensive pressure; bad reads and even losing several key draws clean. I can't believe he didn't sustain the level he reached vs. Pitt.

Talbot is doing his job.
