Yep, was lookin like same ol shit till Bear scored. We usually play a decent 20 at some point. Usually don't get rewarded.

Bear scored and Edmundson got in a fight. Not a bad 1st.

Post by: Mickstix on Tuesday January 16, 2024, 08:22:49 PM Eastern
So, call me crazy.. But I like this 1st line. Should be a thing.


Ovi-Kuzy-Wilson gonna have to figure it out and we'd have 4 decent lines. Prolly still won't score, but they'll look good! lol

6"? That's more than ya'll have had in years isn't it? I know all my peeps from PWC were hoping for a dumping. But all I saw pics of was dust, basically.

Kuemper played a good game.  Made a couple sparkling saves, but was solid all around.
Helps when you are playing the Ducks.  Not to detract from a shutout - he played a good game
Patches, Strome, Oshie work well together....mostly cause they all WORK.  not gonna set the world on fire, but they do get some chances and i think patches might bring some gritty goals which we sorely missing.  Although...not sure this is a top line on any team except the Caps
3rd and 4th lines look good, but not much scoring
kuzy line...oof.  where did that dude go.  And its not like Ovie is helping the scoring on that line this year.  Wish they would both snap out of it.

If I remember correctly, yes, it’s probably been about 3 years. On the bright side, this cold will knock down the insect population for this summer. We haven’t been this cold in several years.

I was hearing 2016 for the last time ya'll got a "good one"? I always liked the blizzards. For about 24 hours.  :wackysmile:

Though it was against the Ducks, for a change Kuemper made the saves he should make, and then a couple you don't expect.  That toe save against Kilhorn was the save of the game.
