VranaWhose saucer pass was that on the last PP over to Niskanen?
That was a beaut.
He was definitely part of the problem in closing seconds of Sharks fiascoIt sends the wrong message to have your captain out late in a 1 goal game?
Yeah, no. The Canes lost me at duck duck goose.
I really did not like Ovechkin's play in the third. Super lazy, took shifts that were way too long that almost resulted in goals against. He should not have been on the ice with the empty net. Sends the wrong message.

When he isn't playing the right way, a game after you benched Kuzy for not doing the right thing yes.It sends the wrong message to have your captain out late in a 1 goal game?
LOL we have both moved since but those were some interesting times. Especially when Semin would come over to Ovie's house. My favorite encounter was when I was coming home late one night around the holidays and Ovie was out jogging around 11PM. So random.He should be home from the game by now - go next door and tell him in person
Carolina is a great place to watch a hockey game. I had a blast on December 23 with the "whalers" vs. bruins game.Yes well the storm surge or whatever the hell they call it is extremely embarrassing - and I don't like the owner Dundas. It's probably one of his stupid ideas.
But I want the sport to succeed in smaller markets so I like to see those teams - Florida, Arizona, Carolina do well. And if that's not possible then I'd like to see them moved to better markets (but Bettman doesn't seem to want that).
This sounds like a sports comedy movie!LOL we have both moved since but those were some interesting times. Especially when Semin would come over to Ovie's house. My favorite encounter was when I was coming home late one night around the holidays and Ovie was out jogging around 11PM. So random.

Lets make sure we are talking about the right things. Kuzy who is among the league leaders in minor penalties of which none would fall into the physical category, was told along with the team to stay out of the box and cut with the lazy offensive zone stick penalties. Of which he immediately takes one the moment a penalty kill is completed. I didn't see the game last night and don't know what the yammering is about, but not playing the right way was not why Kuzy got benched for 3 shifts in one game
I disagree. I think Ovechkin has been taking extended shifts far too often this year and a lot of the time they have led to goals against or quality chances for the other team. I like having him out there with the empty net but I also think it doesn’t send the best message when he can be undisciplined about his ice time and still get put out there. His last three shifts of the game were all over a minute and because he was so tired they led to 2 odd man rushes and a goal after he iced the puck.
Missed the game. How good/bad was Orlov?
There is two types of Orlov, one makes good defensive plays another one is liability there, but spectacular in offense. Yesterday it was first one.Missed the game. How good/bad was Orlov?
There are plenty of first line fixers over the years that have annoyed me to varying degrees, everything from Joey Crabb to DSP, but Beagle is probably one of the few (maybe only) I could give a pass and just thank him for trying. I don't know what it is, if it was a homegrown bias thing, or his infinite hustle, or just that he only needed a little more skill to really be something surprising but I was mostly fine with rewarding his motor and just hoping for the best. Looking back at it if he had just one or two extra corners to turn, he might have looked like the prototype build of Tom Wilson.
maybe that's romanticized but I don't know, with the Cup goggles on it doesn't seem too far off.
