Lindgren traveled with the team and appears ready to play when eligible Saturday night.

Hit em hard, hit em early, hit em often!

I was hoping Shep would get a start while up, but that seems unlikely

Morning.

scoreless after one

[Rey Capalpatine]

Thompson was Neo in the last minute.

[Mickstix]

Not sure what went down there at the end of 20. Sounds like Willy may get 2 to start the 2nd..


So so 1st. Our #1 keeping us alive.

[Surreylily]

Looks like the fellas were waiting for me before they start playing.   

[Mickstix]

Evenin Lil!! Better keep the onsie close by tonight.


I've heard of DOFU app. Never used it, but it seems pretty popular. Streams seem to be getting harder to come by lately.

Willy made a good check at the buzzer, Ottawa took exception. I didn’t see a reason to give the Sens a PP, but nhl dot com says they will get one to start the 2nd.


It looked like the penalty was for wearing 43 in white, we haven’t seen that in some time.

[Mickstix]

Locker said something about 1 as they went to break. Big kill to start the 2nd.


A story of playing in your own end too much.

I tried that dofu before the period ended, it worked on iOS(apple products). Some of those links seem to only work on a laptop/desktop, and the free streams have been cracked down on this season.

[alta]

matching minors, but Willy gets an extra 2
 
PK time

[alta]

nother PK . .


2 fer 2

[Surreylily]

This is all a bit scrappy.
