I bet the closed captioning for Ray is hilarious...

Hahahah

I'm also drinking now after originally not planning to during the game.

Strangely, I think that OFT has been our "worst" line tonight. I didn't think that MEH has done anything to warrant a benching.....

Or at least OF-whoever........

They didn't bring much energy. I think you should hope that your supposed best players can set a tone. I don't mind the benching.

OFT are a good hit-shift line but in their own zone, they're a mess. Stafford is much the better defensive player and the switch with Tropp brings better balance to that unit.

Edit: There's eight official game reports on the right sidebar in NHL.com boxscores.

Much obliged!!!

Tropp hits Sbisa after his earlier hit

 

[kenfury]

Nice save by Enroth.

True. In Rolston's words, their compete was low tonight........

 

[Zman5778]

Agreed.

Ott-Foligno-Stafford has looked decent in the third.

Now whether that's on their own.....or if it's the Ducks letting up a bit........

MEH line hasn't played since the 13:49 mark of the 2nd period according to Paul Hamilton

 

[Chainshot]

Elsewhere, Ville Leino's ribs are sore after hitting the press buffet. Day-to-day with gastric distress.

 

[Squantosawuss]

Girgensons might like mighty nice next to Moulson and Hodgson.

The "son" line?

 

[Chainshot]

Larsson on the ice more than a vintage Steve Heinze.

Maybe Darcy told him he has a trade set up and to not play them. Wishful thinking. Rolston's presser should be good.

Should've benched the Ott line. What're they all a minus 4?lol

Also appears the refs forgot they could call penalties on the Ducks. Like 4 blatant missed calls in the 3rd...not that it matters

Hahaha oh wow that's going back a ways

Half a game just rotating 3 lines?

And just about half the 2nd period....and Grigo STILL could only muster 7 min through 2?

Interesting.

Their last shift finished with 6:11 remaining in second --> http://www.nhl.com/scores/htmlreports/20132014/TV020244.HTM
None resulted in goals.

The entire #1 line is benched? Captain Ott's line gets more ice time. Interested to hear the presser for sure

 

[kenfury]

Would give them a defensive presence as well.

At this point it cant hurt to give them 5 or so games in the near future. See what they can do.

 

[Chainshot]

Grigs just crested the 11:00 minute mark.

Matt Moulson has to be wondering when he'll get off this merry-go-round.

 

[KeepCalmandCorsiOn]

what the hell did Moulson do to get benched?

 

[Chainshot]

Glad the broadcast crew finally caught on to the MEH benching.

 

[Chainshot]

When did the Ducks hire the Panthers' scorers? Take a look at the hit stats...

 

[SabresFan26]

The MEH line was not out for a GA? Ott Foligno Tropp are a combined -6
