MEAN PEOPLE RULEThats just mean.
What a last game by Mercer before we trade him away for Gibson.His saves on the Batherson and Tkachuk breakaways (think it was the early 2d period?) when either shooter could have tied the game 2 -2 were game changing. Then Mercer makes that play to put us up 2 and it’s over.
The game was just what the Dr. ordered. Be good to get a point tomorrow but beat Washington finally after that and hang in a playoff spot.
Not surprised by Nico as he's a very good passer to begin with.Watching the replay on the Smith goal (feels weird to even be typing that), what stands out to me most is the awareness and passing accuracy that Nico showed to get him that puck in stride.
Not easy to pick up a rebounding puck after a block, realize the penalty is ending and a breakaway is possible, and thread the pass through a defender, all at the end of a PK shift. Outstanding heads up play from the Captain.
Jack and Luke have a rare chance of resetting the forward record book and defensemen record book
If I had to bet on it I imagine the 2/3 Metro and 2 WC spots end up some combo of us, Canes, Isles, Flyers
Luke def has the skill to do it especially with the way todays scoring is as compared to back in the dayIt's almost a guarantee Jack does. It will be harder for Luke considering who has manned our blue line.
Win tomorrow and they enter the new year with 20 wins
For reference last year they had 23
don’t even say it in jest . . . don’t even think it . . .What a last game by Mercer before we trade him away for Gibson.
It's kind of annoying that a few more OTLs and we wouldn't really be sweating the standings as much.
Add in 2 more (both in regulation) to a bottom feeder masquerading as a playoff team in Washington.It’s incredibly annoying we dropped 3 games to bottom feeders in 23 days
Yup while the islanders nurse the tit of the loser pointIt's kind of annoying that a few more OTLs and we wouldn't really be sweating the standings as much.
I swear that game where we came back and we beat them with like 20 seconds left in regulation was nothing more than ''Well, we can't lose every game in OT'' luck on their part.Yup while the islanders nurse the tit of the loser point
16 Row winsI swear that game where we came back and we beat them with like 20 seconds left in regulation was nothing more than ''Well, we can't lose every game in OT'' luck on their part.
That's the most flattering picture I've seen of Travis Green in the last 20 years.
