Not complaining. But that Hoffman attempt should have been a trip. Lehner missed the puck and went for the skates
So I don't mind losing, but is the goalie allowed to trip the shooter in a shootout?
So you think Smith gets moved at the draft or the summer? I bet it's after January next yr. Pageau played 4th line centre once upon a time & now he's their defacto 2nd line centre. Stuff happens. So did Couturier & he's their #1 centre, it's happened before even here in Ottawa.They don't want White at 4th line C .. it makes sense to have O'Brien there.
They will trade Smith and White will play up next year .. C .. I don't know. I think he'll be up vs up and down
Anderson isn't much better.
I don’t think you understand how bad Lehner really is in the shootout.Anderson isn't much better.

Nice win by him tonight though.

As bad as it gets? At what. The position. Or shootouts.He is significantly better. Andy is middle of the pack, Lehner is as bad as it gets.
Smith had a bad game. He doesn't bring anything now except good PK. I'm hoping he's moved before his stock fall way too low to trade him.

I'm hoping there just wasn't any sort of decent offer for him at the deadline and that's why he's still here, because otherwise Dorion will just find it harder and harder to find a trading partner for Smith. I would have gladly accepted a 3rd pick for him.
Yes, but they have two firsts. I guess we'll see if they move him at the draft & what the return would be but I think Smith will be more valuable at the deadline more so than the draft. Smith still has three more yrs on his contract, it won't be that easy to move, I don't think. I think PD will have his hands full this summer re-signing Stone & Ceci & with whatever they decide on Karlsson & probably Ryan & then there's re-signing Duchene? I guess we'll see eventually what happens.With no 2nd or 3rd this year .. they need to get picks somewhere .. Smith is an obvious target
Pretty sure he's talking about Burrows but on further examination we are actually using 3 players nobody would take for free on the PP.
Andy is worst at everything else than shootouts this yearAs bad as it gets? At what. The position. Or shootouts.
Came here to say this; how the hell did we lose thisI don’t think you understand how bad Lehner really is in the shootout.

To put it into perspective, Lehner had 2 saves tonight. In the 16 attempts prior to tonight, he had 3 saves,
Andy has a career .676sv%, Lehner .528sv%
Of the 127 goaltenders who have faced a minimum of 20 attempts, Lehner ranks 124th.
