The Kaleta-Ott troll brigade is everything the Stars thought they were getting when they signed Avery.

/**** Brett Hull

 

[zenthusiast]

Ott has a really high-pitched voice. Who knew?

 

[Woodhouse]

I like Ott on PP1, so I think Grigorenko for Foligno on PP2 is the right move if you're going to "inject" him somewhere.

 

[Presten]

I know this is Grigs 2nd game but I would like to see him stay up.

I think if the staff says Grigs is here to stay the fans might relax a little. We are all eager to see Grigs get some offence. It´s like watching Leino last year, fingers crossed every game.

I'm pretty sure his overall game would benefit from playing with Leino, get some cycle game going against the oppositions third pairings while having net-presence from The Jukebox (Ott).

 

[Sabreality]

The Grigorenko talk is... nauseating.

really, lets overanalyze our 10th or 11th most important forward...kaleta/ott have back in scott. 1st line boom, hecht looks fresher than ever, line 2 will get their streaks...safe Lindy on the back end + good Miller

not even worrying about Grigs right now

 

[aceface33]

Kaleta got 10 minutes, wtf? If other teams want to get Kaleta off the ice, apparently you just have to send a guy out to talk to him

 

[BowieSabresFan]

Kessel was pretty much blameless there. He didn't even come close to running him.

Also, difficult to take a penalty on a PP.

I know I'm coming in late on this one, but Kessel was completely at fault there. No one crowded him or bumped him. That is all on Kessel. He also pretty much ran right over Miller.

doesnt hurt as much anymore we have more other big guys now

That was ridiculous. Heaven forbide there is some excitement in a game.

So yapping gets Kaleta 10 mins but Hartnell hits two guys from behind and its all good. This league is maddening.

Maybe it was his goofy smile too?

potential big loss for the PK...

 

[Paxon]

He's still one of our best defensive forwards. This can hurt if we get into penalty trouble.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

From a physicality standpoint maybe not as much, but from a hockey standpoint absolutely it does. Kaleta is a key PKer for us.

Avery suspended for "sloppy seconds," Richards plays in playoff game after multiple runs from behind.

 

[Paxon]

Agreed. He did it accidentally as far as I can tell, but that's irrelevant to the rules.

 

[zenthusiast]

He only has 4:45, did lindy take him off the PK?

 

[joshjull]

And one of our best ES defensive forwards.

 

[joshjull]

I don't think he gets out there on the 5-3 situations. Thats usually Pommer or Hecht

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Period start... Nice chance.

 

[Sean McG]

"Pominville's leading the team in TOI, even for defenseman..." except he's got a minute less than Leopold.

 

[JOHNBOY]

seeing that drop pass on the PP makes me sick to my stomach..

 

[zenthusiast]

Can we get someone other that FES on the PP2 please

 

[heartsabres*]

leafs dont even fu with Miller now

 

[heartsabres*]

I would like to see Grigs and Ennis switch for a few shifts.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Millers rebound control is night and day from yesterdays game.
