Best second period I've seen from us for a long, long LONG time.

technically that's what it was. I'm surprised they called that pick earlier, it's about 10th one I've seen this year run against the Caps

That was a solid 20.. Not sure WTF Burt was thinking as we're going to the PP, but not surprised.. We like to do stupid shit at least a few times a night.. :uh-huh: lol
ArJunaZ:
I just watched that back. Reilly dove to draw the penalty. Burka was coming and just held his arms up and barely touched Rielly in the back. SOLD!!!!

Even if it was or wasn't a soft call, after 5 years in the league when you get a call going your way you should be on your best behavior to not fuck up the PP chance. That was a bad penalty to take. Bura is a detriment to our team, full stop. I fail to see what value he adds. Maybe if we were paying him the entry level minimum MAYBE I could see him being a serviceable 4th line or depth guy, but he brings very little in relation to his cost (both monetary cost and the cost of him being shit on the ice)
Good news though - overall I don't have any complaints about the team's play, yet. If all I'm nitpicking right now is one retard who I expect to be a retard, then that's a pretty good sign
