wow, Jensen is scratched. I'd like to see Reirden show his gonads and scratch a different Dman.


I wouldn't be surprised if Kempney still isn't %100 healed from his torn hamstring last season

If Fervy plays well again tonight, Kempney's probably next on the scratch list..

That's a hook 6 days a week and twice on Sunday.. Hagelin got the shaft from the refs.

Fer Shure!

So, Holtby's saved Orlov, Carlson and now Sigs ass.. Defenseman need to wake up. 

[ArJunaZ]

That giveaway by Dylan was inexcusable.  Must be back on the Quaaludes.

   I'd rather see Jensen scratched a few more games. Although Kempny hasn't been stellar himself.

    Yup that hook gets called 99% of the time. I guess this was that 1%
