It's such an emotional roller coaster being a fan right now. You want the loss but then you see Virtanen have a great game, you see guys like Etem and Vey doing well, you see their reactions and you can't help but feel good for them. The young guys are the ones you want to feed off positive energy and keep their chins up.
I guess I just want it both ways. I want the team to play well and have a game they can be proud of, but I want the ultimate result to be a loss.

Karlsson is anything but overrated.
He deserves to be one of the highest paid players in the league.
no, he's really doesnt. He's a great defensemen, but he's not the hockey god Karlsson lovers make him out to be.
Ive lost count of the amount of times i've seen him languidly glide around in the defensive zone without a care in the world, pokechecking thin air. and dont tell me that he's such a smart and skilled player that he doesnt need to exert much effort!

well he made it through. showed he can play as many minutes as a team is going to need from him. Made some very good passes, jumped into the play. Few blips but otherwise a good game in my opinion.
Great game, it looked like they might fold after giving up the lead but Bart put the team on his back and carried them to victory....lol
Did they show Benning in the press box? I only saw linden

For all the ridiculous beaking he got from lame fans earlier this season, the kid really actually is a blue chip prospect.
This was a fun game, as have all the games where the kids are heavily involved been. Hutton is really coming into his own as a skilled defenceman, Horvat is a skilled bull, Virtanen is a skilled punisher (he's too casual sometimes, hope he works on that), and the whole line of Granlund, Vey, and Etem was great. I have hope for the future.

It's hard to believe he's 19......guys are getting hurt....defense are rushing passes....Phaneuf is losing his mind and he puts up 1-1 with 6 hits. Love it.

Stray thoughts...
Granlund - I thought he was largely good. The best elements of his game were on display - he's sneaky at finding openings and has good quickness to dart to and through them. Drove the net. Some of the rough parts of his game were evident as well; namely his lack of strength in one on one battles. But overall I thought it was a solid effort.
Etem/Vey were feast or famine. Had some dominating shifts in the offensive zone, and some defensive zone shifts where they got absolutely dominated.
Really liked Virtanen in this game. Bulled his way around, was authoritative in all zones and hit the scoresheet a few times. Full package on display.
Bartkowski - like Etem and Vey - was a tale of two games. Was dangerous for both teams tonight. Two laser beam goals, and some complete tire fires in his own end.
Dorsett has to be playing some of the worst, least disciplined hockey I have seen from a Canuck in recent memory. My goodness is he awful right now.
I thought Sbisa was really solid tonight. He really is pretty good on the PK.

They really did.....he's such an ideal btm 6 player and his best play has been in the playoffs. Just lightning wheels....when his game settles down a bit I see a Carl Hagelin clone.

Karlsson is 4th in points. Not among defensemen, but overall. He literally has to do everything for his team.
He's pretty special.

I like how effective he was even though this was one of the games where he wasn't keeping his feet moving. He's got a sky high ceiling if he can put it all together.

Wasn't there a cup like that in the KHL for teams that couldn't make the playoffs and needed a sense of pride, but they took it away I'm pretty sure
