[WHOneedsSOX]

Byfield stunned kopitar passed it.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Atta boy dubois

 

[lumbergh]

Awful give away

 

[tny760]

ridiculous PLD

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

This is why moments are more important than volume

 

[bland]

Both defensemen went straight up ice too early

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Clarke going to get blamed for that?

 

[kingsboy11]

There's like 4 guys at fault on that goal

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kaliyev would have gotten traded to the Orlando solar bears for that

PLD will get double shifted to figure it out

 

[Telos]

Poor Clarke. Has to play with PLD...

 

[YAYSAY]

Good ol nonchalant PLD. Watched his classic "The Shift" the other day, unfortunately still see a ton of that shift in his game today

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Pierre-Luc Dumbass.

 

[Little Psycho]

PLD pulled a fiala

 

[bmr]

Dubois’s leash continues to get shorter and shorter.

 

[kingsholygrail]

They just give up the most mind boggling turnovers in their own zone. Just go up the ice. You have the f***ing puck. Ice it if you have to, but don't pass backwards into the middle!

 

[tny760]

Both defensemen went straight up ice too early

because no one in their right mind would fling a blind backhand into the slot through a player when they have empty ice in front of them

Dubois would

 

[kingsholygrail]

I almost thought Washington was going to f*** it up too, because they kinda stood there for a moment unsure what to do when PLD gave them the puck in front of Talbot. lol

 

[AbsentMojo]

I think PL misunderstood when they said we're trading to the coast.. he thought that meant he could continue to coast

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Gavrikov may not still have been right from that puck to the face. Should have changed. Clarke activated too soon because he trusted PLD not to make a short-bus play.

 

[YAYSAY]

because no one in their right mind would fling a blind backhand into the slot through a player when they have empty ice in front of them

Seriously, maybe other players weren't making the absolute best decision, but there's no excuse for backhand in the middle when you have the boards

 

[lumbergh]

Byfield has regressed back to having the puck explode off his stick

 

[bland]

because no one in their right mind would fling a blind backhand into the slot through a player when they have empty ice in front of them

Yeah, but you can't have both defensemen heading up ice together when damn near parallel to each other. Somebody has to stay home.

 

[lumbergh]

Looked like a clean hit from here.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Awkward reception but clean hit
