Good gourde!

 

[Hint1k]

well Vancouver looks like an AHL team this period.

 

[Fabiobest]

OH MY GOURDE!!
But what a play!!!

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Nice passing between Peca and Gourde!

 

[DaBolts]

Serg is back. What a great pass. And God, what a shot by Yanni! When you see the water bottle fly up, KABOOM!

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

WTG Gourde!!!

 

[Stormbreaker]

Peca continues racking up points

Yanni up to 18 goals now, unreal.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

I was wrong last game when I said that it was Dotchin a worst game, this is Dotchins worst game.

 

[DaBolts]

The kids are alright

If I were worth a flip with photoshop, I'd change this to a Bolts flag and put our kids on the album cover. Sigh.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Well that and his shot blocking is uncanny x-men level, but I believe those two things can be taught. The reason I like koekkoek so much more is he has a higher ceiling. He has the dynamics and intangibles and other affectations of a high caliber nhl player. Dotchin just doesn’t. He reminds me of killorn. They just don’t think/react fast enough to be an elite nhl player. And that can’t be taught.

I definitely agree regarding Koekkoek vs Dotchin, though Killorn does have stretches of amazing play now and then.

 

[These Are The Days]

Fantastic goal by Gourde! And now a PP. I don't believe in running up the score but God Kucherov needs a goal right now. I think the guy is gonna go nuts until he does

 

[DaBolts]

Killorn, Dotchin, a 1st in 2018, 2nd in 2019 for Karlsson. Works for me.

Really have to say that Sergachev has been on it tonight from what I've seen. Think the return of Hedman has helped settle him down again?

 

[Fabiobest]

End of the second!
I love the way our guys are playing tonight.
Our defence seems solid.
Let's go in the third!

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Really have to say that Sergachev has been on it tonight from what I've seen. Think the return of Hedman has helped settle him down again?

Possibly because he's getting limited minutes again. He seemed to do worse as his minutes climbed due to Hedman being out.

That and Cooper crawling up his rear about puck and position discipline. Serg will be fine, heck, is this kid even old enough to order a beer in Florida yet?

 

[The Macho King]

I hope Y sells Namestnikov at the deadline.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

RIP

No, no he isn't. But yeah, he'll be fine. Even Stamkos was benched a few times during his rookie year.

 

[DaBolts]

I hope Y sells Namestnikov at the deadline.

Who would you trade though if you could get a 1D or 2C? Names or Killorn? Tough, tough call but Killorn frees up cap space.

 

[DaBolts]

RIP

That is just so awesome.

 

[Stormbreaker]

 

[The Macho King]

When Palat gets back, we can't send Peca down because he's too good. Coached is fine in a 13th forward. Namestnikov is at peak value right now and his numbers are inflated quite a bit. He's redundant in this lineup.

 

[These Are The Days]

I'd say you are right. We're playing a lot better.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Serge does look great. Don’t underestimate the benefit press box view has on rookies. We call it the Brayden point effect.
