Yikes that was dangerous

 

[biturbo19]

pettersson has like no speed

Never did really.

 

[PavelBure10]

Pettersson really is the Alien, the unexplained forsure.

[SeawaterOnIce]

4th line has been good

 

[SillyRabbit]

There's no more solid proof of game management than both of the Predator's PP's so far.

The Canucks got "too many" PP's, so the refs had to keep things even.

This is just proof that it doesn't matter how disciplined you play, you'll get called for penalties anyway.

Game theory would suggest that it's actually a good thing to make illegal plays to give yourself an advantage, because if it doesn't get called, you could get a scoring chance (or prevent one) and if it does get called, you'll get game management calls later to offset the penalty you took.

Mandate ****ing neck guards. f*** sakes.

I read this as guard on your skates for a second and thought maybe that’s why Hughes keeps falling

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Glad Smith is ok. Looked really similar to when Kassian took Sestito's skate to the face that one time.

 

[TruKnyte]

Man DeSmith just bleeds rebounds

 

[biturbo19]

Pettersson really is the Alien, the unexplained forsure.

He is the true, "known unknowns" of hockey players.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Yeeeeeeesh.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

On pace for 12 shots in the game.

 

[Red]

desmith and his rebounds

 

[wonton15]

Schenn is actually not very good and we should be dumping it in to his side every time

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

DeSmith totally lost that puck shot right at him.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

It doesn't matter who is net if you get 5 shots on goal halfway through the f***ing game.

You could have 1998 Dominik Hasek

 

[Kryten]

Pettersson really is the Alien, the unexplained forsure.

Its probing time

 

[calnuck]

Desmith has the worst rebound control. f***ing brutal

 

[Flik]

Desmith has the worst rebound control. f***ing brutal

Been his thing all year, just gotta deal with it unfortunately

 

[Regal]

Its probing time

He’d just miss the hole

 

[Kryten]

Okay that pizza pizza commercial was good

 

[StickShift]

desmith and his rebounds

It’s not even rebounds… the puck just drops right to his feet every time.

 

[TruKnyte]

DeSmith totally lost that puck shit right at him.

Have no confidence in him at all

That being said we really need to start generating some shots. Embarrassing so far

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Could you imagine facing McDraiman with DeSmith in goal? They would score at will.

Exactly why getting early PP's and not capitalizing sucks alot.
