I take that back.  Good reverse psychology!

THE BIG WILLY

[Surreylily]

PHEW!  I was starting to think we weren't going to get it done there.   

[Maacoshark]

Wtf Wilson

[Maacoshark]

A bit of a dumb play by Djoos

[Surreylily]

I LOVE the way all the guys surround the goalie now, after close in shots like that.  That would have been un-heard of pre-Trotz.

this is so stupid, there is absolutely no reason for east and west teams to play each other three times a year, before the playoffs

and Willy just misses the Gordie Howe, again

[Surreylily]

A ggod game to stay up for.I thought that was the best I've seen our Dmen play so far this season.As much as I wanted Willy to get the hattie, I'm glad Ovi got on the board too.  I think if Willy had been up there, he would have gifted it to him.

and now we get a three day break before the Devils game on friday

[ArJunaZ]

Great game. Both teams fought hard. I really enjoyed it. With fair refs it may have been an even more lopsided score.
The question is who sits when Osh and Kuz return.

[Surreylily]

A little earlier, their comms said that Trotz phoned Willy a few times during his suspension to offer support.   
Just noticed, Nicky with 3 assists.  Silent but deadly.........

[alta]

I'm really not surprised with Willy. A couple years ago when Trotz put him on the top line for about 6 games in February you could see the potential

[ArJunaZ]

Buffalo Sabres are on a 9 game winning streak and sit in second place in the Atlantic.
