It’s on the secondary channel tonight.

[Mickstix]

Joy. Another 7:30pm start.

[Surreylily]

Morning chaps.
 

[alta]

Ethan Bear.. he’s listed as cleared injury but also “registration pending”. I don’t know if he’s technically a scratch tonight, technically still on IR, or unavailable as player per NHL.

[alta]

phooking hell.. Lindgren just went to the locker room

Kuemper in net

[Mickstix]

  

[Surreylily]

Uh oh...

[alta]

and no trip called on Fever by the four blind mice

[alta]

Fever has not returned to the ice since that play

[Surreylily]

Not looking great so far.

[Beaglefan2]

Is it just me or has hockey in general become pretty boring. No checking, lackadaisical effort, nobody seems fired up any more. They actually go out of their way to avoid bumping each other. I know the days of scrums and fighting are over, but it has just gotten BORING!  Maybe I need to watch some good teams for a while.

[Mickstix]

Playin with fire most of that one. Fever won't return. Did they say anything about Chucky? I had to watch the Isles channel for a few minutes.

[alta]

I have not heard anything about Lindy, I assume it’s related to that shot he blocked with his neck

[alta]

Lindy will not return, upper body


the emergency backup goalie is in the Caps locker room

[alta]

piss poor passing leads to an Islanders goal

[alta]

 


 

[Mickstix]

Started with Kuzy shit pass and then lazy getting back.


And then another.. We might come back from 1 down. Rarely 2. 

[Beaglefan2]

Kuzy had one or two decent games after he was benched and since then he has been back to gliding around the ice.  Time to bench him for about 3 games.
