I don't know, it looks like Kesler going for knee-to-knee contact there. Regardless of contact, that puts a dent in our offense for sure. Wilson had better step up like last year for sure.

Kesler is not even on the screen. He was on the ice, but nowhere near Smith when it happened.

It's Thompson, Rakell, and Vatanen. Keep pushing that narrative though.

Not Rinne's fault. Team was horrible. Looked liked they were stuck in 1st gear all night. We could not buy a chance at a goal all night.
1st goal was on Bitetto.
2nd was a beautiful tip goal.

We forgot what we did in Anaheim.

Third goal was a total team breakdown. Let Getzlaf beat us to the puck in the corner, give him plenty of time to survey the situation and make an uncontested pass to Stewart coming down the slot, uncovered by Forsberg and Ellis standing still so he couldn't slide over and cover.

I normally don't post in other team boards, especially come playoff time, but Kesler is nowhere near this play. So unless you want to imply he was using some kinda voodoo magic or a gun...

I guess that a win in 4 games would have been boring. That is the team's mind.

yeahh ... ok ... if you think so ... but do not exagerate !!
let's make it in 5.

Anaheim played a perfect road game. They played a disciplined style that kept them focused and out of the penalty box. They wouldn't let us generate any sort of momentum or control much of the game action. Kudos to them. Hopefully we make adjustments to the ones they made for last night.

They gave us 5 powerplays last night.

We had 5 penalties, and still got whipped. Our impotent PP was a factor in the loss.

In case you were wondering where those 3 catfish that were on the ice last night came from and how they got there... just saw this on Twitter.

You might want to add an additional facepalm since I believe- not only is it Rakell instead of Kesler- it is Forsberg involved in the collision.... with Smith (#15) in the foreground with nobody within 5 feet of him.

Until a grainy Zapruder film version of the incident can be produced and touched up by Oliver Stone, I think this "intent to injure" theory should die a quick but horrible death.

(As an aside, collisions like that happen dozens of times a game and very rarely do you see an extended knee with an intent to injure. It's insane to take 4 still photos and extrapolate intent.)

I don't even know what the **** those pictures are supposed to be about since no one is even close to Smith in any of them?
