-
Fehervary is a game time decision, but I bet he plays with McIlrath being sent down
-
Morning chaps. :wackysmile:

GOOOAAALLLL
VAN RIEMSDYK
-
Slow start, then they settled down!
We will accept the goal, after that 10' wide shot deflected in! :raspberry:
-
TVR! With less than 10 seconds to go. :banana:

Strome and Kuzy must of heard I called them soft? :wackysmile:
-
We're doing okay after two periods.

doing ok, but not great. The Devils are too fast for the Caps, especially if this goes to OT
-
Survived 60 minutes, somehow. Baffled with our lack of shot generation once again. Team's in desperate need of a coaching/system change.
-
We got a point, which is more than I expected for this game. ;D
-
:O=
-
As expected. Ovi in the shootout makes as much sense as sending me out. And I can't ice skate. lol Oh well, stolen (unneeded) point. :)

nighty night chaps. :yawn: :yawn: :yawn:

So as usual I watched late but just finished
I think I have insight that could help this team…
You have to score more than zero in the shootout to win
And I’ve never seen a team trying so much for a tie with ten minutes left in the game
I’ll take the point and especially with being outplayed so much
Kuemper earned his pay tonight. This game could have been 8-2 and prolly should have been at least 4-2
The Sundin kid looks legit. Cant believe how much time he’s getting
He’s not the biggest guy but he plays pretty physical.
I will say at least this game was fun to watch but sure did remind me how much I hate watching them sit on a tie just waiting to lose.
And…I don’t like shooting first in the shootout
I heard them say the Devils are the only team Kuemoer has never beaten. And so it stays
-
NJ shows you what speed can do. We look sooooooo sloooooooowww out there with them. We need to tighten up in our own end, too. There were way too many times when we sucked in on Kuemper and left juicy opportunities for guys trailing down the slot. Part of that, too, is slow forwards not being able to keep up and backcheck. There's a lot of work to do up front.

The whole selection of guys on the SO is tired and predictable and you know what moves they're going to make every time. I wouldn't use any of the usual suspects anymore.

Especially when points are our enemy now. If they kill it, good for them. If not, no biggy. But Milano Strome Wilson Sandin should all get shots imo. And Im not sure when the memo is gonna get posted, but there are no playoffs this year. Why they sending Iorio back to Hershey? Iwrin doesn't need minutes. Backstrom and Oshie don't need minutes. All those guys should be scratched from here on and get some "youth" up for some games.
