The commentators are talking about Poturalski like he's a rising star

That holiday mug with Doughty on it has the design aesthetic of a Flinstones vitamin from the 1980s.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

TM needs to shuffle the lines they ain't working well

moore held from behind skating in the neutral zone

2 sets of rules here tonight

 

[ru4reals]

Well at least we're generating chances.

Against the Kings eeevery AHLer a rising star.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

You can't tell me Andersen is a great goaltender...he's just a lot larger

 

[tny760]

durzi is an interesting case

that blue line poke check play was a great read but that netfront chance that mikey cleared off the line was just because durzi dove across into the lane instead of tying him up in the crease

not trying to be too hard on him but man.. all these guys are so flawed somehow

I remember Poturalski killing the Reign when he played for the Gulls

 

[ru4reals]

So I guess you can slash sticks now and it's legal. Okay.

 

[tny760]

yep no call for slashing the stick out his hands what's f***in new

shame if not for this complete screwjob, the kings hung in there

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

I was hoping Kupari would follow a similar path to Kempe. But he hasn’t shown much except weak offensive zone play.

I believe should have left him Finland until this year...he'll never be more than a 3rd liner and maybe 4th liner...and that for the 20th overall is unacceptable

That just makes me like it more.

 

[The Lukeman]

Outside the first 1:30, that was a decent period. Just gotta put the call behind us and find a way to win the next 2 periods.

when the drop pass entry isn't gettin it done, the double drop pass entry!

actually blows my mind…later that shift after another unsuccessful PP2 dump and chase, Wolanin simply skated it into the zone with speed. Granted they botched the possession soon after but zone entry on the powerplay should not be f***ing rocket science.

was laughing at that too, they didn't even play it like he was driving the net either, everyone knew he was gonna peel off for possession

funny how as this game gets so overcoached and meta'ed, simple plays like that are effectively undefended

The Hurricanes broadcast team is really getting on my nerves.

For sure he's not ready for regular NHL shift. Almost have a competitive team if we lose Kupari and Maata.

Arvidsson looking to continue his streak of bad games.

 

[AbsentMojo]

f-ing ref

 

[tny760]

ah but when freddie pinches his pads he gets an instant whistle!

 

[The Lukeman]

Quick deserves better

 

[AbsentMojo]

damn they are lucky today

 

[Sol]

All this quick praise and he just had to have a stinker of a game. I guess it's fine that it's against an Eastern team.

 

[tny760]

drury slash post whistle on roy uncalled

make it less obvious please
