Just as last game, OV has 1499 career points.


Kuzy is a healthy scratch, tonight would have been his 700th game.

Well finally we might have a coach that will bench top line players if they aren't performing and just skate around!  They will probably say it was because of the stupid penalty he took, but it is just plain lackadaisical play.  I've said for a long time that Kuzy needed a tough coach and that he could be a 40 goal scorer if he was motivated.  It may be too late now, but at least he is sending a message to the rest of the team!!

It seems quite a few people took the day off. I couldn’t get accurate line info until a few minutes ago.

[Mickstix]

Carbs must be walking a tightrope. He's healthy scratched Mantha and now Kuzy. But he still putting Kuemper back in net after another shaky start/loss. Chucky is healthy enough to back up, he should of got the net, imo.


Hope they show up tonight!
 
Ovi's gotta score another goal at some point this season, no?

Morning chaps.

No call on that high stick to Willy's ear.

PP 1 looked a lot better tonight…

I dont think Kuemper was shakey...he's just not a spectacular type goalie.  He's mostly solid, but he aint standing on his head.

DK supports a good D well, a mediocre one, not so much

[Mickstix]

Same PP look as us. Except their Ovi spot didn't mind leaving the office.

2 shots on goal ..

[Surreylily]

A Special K special!   

[Mickstix]

"Shot surprised Kuemper" lol   

[Surreylily]

He's slow,, especially on his lateral movement and doesn't seem to be able to see or follow the puck.

the fuck


 


Kuemper out, Lindgren in

[Surreylily]

GOOD

[Mickstix]

This better not burn Charlie for Wednesday.
