The retaliation is always punished harder. Unless you retaliate against Anaheim. Absolute clownshow from the refs already.

Love that from Leo

Leo looking good on the rush at end.

I thought he was pretty invisible for most of the period until that shot.

I thought that Victory+ was going to allow me, as an out of market fan, to access the Ducks games without an issue.

I can't even watch the Stars game because of my location? (I live in Massachusetts). It's nice to watch a replay of the games after 24 hours and get the whole pregame and post game content, but I am largely disappointed I can't watch this in real time.

ThIs is why we need Des.

It doesn’t matter the contract AAV or length. Even if it didn’t stop Kostin, Des would get his pound of flesh.

Lookes poor outside of the PPs imo. Hopefully it's only because of some rustyness

Many fans on this board wouldn’t condone such a thing and don’t believe in retaliating or initiating that stuff.

Glad to know we have ownership not making a case on uneven calls. If Kostin did that to any other team 9/10 there would be additional minor.

gudas needs to lay kostin out like he did last season

How hard are they cracking down on VPNs for V+ ?
I am in market so KCOP and V+ are good

Don't think that was too bad a period from us all things considered. 7 days off at any point is going to make you rusty, let alone at the very start of the season (when you've barely shaken off the rust in training camp to begin with).

The increased use of the body has been good to see, certainly haven't been bullied infront of the net so far.

I'd like to see us support the defencemen along the boards a bit more, a few times they've gone to chip it up the boards, but the wingers have been too far away to support and lost out to the Sharks defencemen.

 

[la patineuse]

They look like it's been eight days since they played a game.

 

[anezthes]

Didn't know you could do that without getting a misconduct.
San Jose's announcers full of glee.

Except he could have finished his check at the buzzer but let off. Much smaller Cooley or Eklund wouldn’t have.

 

[Mr Rogers]

They’ll have to sharpen up Neutral zone play but all in all not too bad. Was expecting worse tbh and to be losing by a goal or two

you can't

(unless it's against the ducks)

But he’d probably get his ass kicked by Goodrow and get hurt long term, and Sharks would get a power play as a bonus.

 

[anezthes]

Dostál looked shaky, aside from that one (great) save. Carlsson, Killorn, and Zellweger did not have a good period, IMO.

 

[70sSanO]

Rule 46.15
A match penalty shall be assessed to a player who punches an unsuspecting opponent and causes an injury.

I think the punch warranted more than a minor, but if there is no injury, it may not meet the definition of the rule for a match penalty.

Without flipping through the rules, it should absolutely be more than a minor (IMO) happens all the time. Especially retailatory punches.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

I wonder if the refs thought Vatrano was embellishing a bit from the sucker punch?

 

[HanSolo]

Think Leo knows he hasn't been having the best game.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Leo with a great Spezza impression

 

[Static]

Stream down. Again.
