Dear Alexis,

take every shot you get.

thx

 

[duhmetreE]

Congratulations Jacob Trouba! You are now a graduate of the Michael Del Zotto Point Shot academy.

I thought it was a Petr Nedved school

 

[will1066]

Lemieux on the power play...I can’t even.

PP2 looked fine. He and Howden did a great job mucking behind the net for puck retrieval, giving Laf, Buch, and Trouba time and space

 

[LeetchisGod]

Kakko not being on the second powerplay is ridiculous. That is where he can get more time and space.

 

[Irishguy42]

JJ gonna score a lacrosse goal

I'll drink to that

 

[zukeisgone]

Kaako acts like he is a superstar gliding around

 

[Rempe73]

he's alright in front of hte net

Sure, but he has zero skill.

 

[NYR]

Hmmmm. See a lot of players. Not the abysmal game like #1

The players decided to win the track meet so they don't have to bag skate.
They won't be able to keep up this pace.
DQ GTFO!

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Zibanejad is so underrated defensively...

he can play D like a dman when he fills in for someone pinching and forwards can’t do shit against him one on one..

 

[Raspewtin]

we are still way too liberal with defensive gaps

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

This should shut the doom and gloomers up for 15 mins.

 

[Reway10]

Lemieux and Howden on PP, get rid of that idiot Quinn already

 

[duhmetreE]

Its Alexis, not Alexei smh

Paris is Paree.
Alexis is Alexee

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Good period.

 

[nyr2k2]

Much better.

Smith should always play, over JJ.

 

[effen]

I don’t think Quinn has the balls to do that

pretty sure that was the initial training camp line

it'll happen at some point just to see if they spark one another

 

[Ail]

They're winning. About the extent of it.

 

[Machinehead]

Buchnevich explaining to Lemieux how he's actually more American

 

[Rempe73]

Trouba is going to murder someone with that shot lol

Agreed, but it will be someone in the next area code.

 

[NYR]

And then Trotz adjusts...

 

[Levitate]

Kakko not being on the second powerplay is ridiculous. That is where he can get more time and space.

I suspect that lineup will change but Quinn is "sending a message" about effort and putting grinders on the second PP

Pretty good period, obviously much better than we saw before. not a ton to complain about other than I want to see that third line get more icetime

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Paris is Paree.
Alexis is Alexee

i know but everyone is calling him Alexei instead of 'Alexee', like he's some sort of Russian

 

[RUNYR]

Kaako acts like he is a superstar gliding around

Starting to remind me of Zherdev except with much less skill.

 

[Fvital92]

Nice period.

 

[Tob]

This should shut the doom and gloomers up for 15 mins.

we're patiently waiting.
