Things were going very well until the too many men penalty. Quinn was livid with Lemieux about that. I think he was smart not to let his anger get in the way of reason though. We needed Lemieux in the 3rd period.

Henrik was great. Panarin and Fox were great. Chytil played really really well too. The team bent but it didn't break. Howden good play at the end--battling hard and drawing a penalty.

Three games above .500 and 3 wins in a row. It might not be a playoff team but it is a competitive team and there's noticeable improvement from last year.

I actually think it is doing him favors, long-term, to play with two guys who are constantly giving their all.

I get that with Lemmy, not Howden.

I'm just not seeing how it's helping him right now and would like to see him put in a position where he could get his scoring going and build some confidence.

Amazing how a dumb penalty can change the momentum of a game. Svechnikov is so dangerous man. He's already their most dangerous forward at what 19 years old?

He was the center on that line. His positioning made that clear.

I’m trying to think back and maybe you and @Kovalev27 are right. Given the history, I just assumed it was Strome, but I’m remembering the positioning... and you’re probably right.

Eh, the older I get, the more comfortable I am admitting my mistakes. :)

Chytil played center the whole game. But on Kakko agreed.

Wingers don’t position themselves just above the crease in the D zone when the D are in the corners or behind the net.

Yeah, you’re all right. My mistake. I was doing some work while watching, saw Strome on that line and always seemed to see Chytil attacking from the RW when I was looking.

Fox and Panarin were both well worth the price. Panarin is so dynamic he changed the entire complexion of the game at all times. He draws so much attention and is so good it doesn’t even matter that everyone is focusing on him. He’s a true superstar, a (skater) talent this franchise hasn’t seen in a long long time.

Skjei - Trouba is looking like a good pair, nice to see Brady step it up.

Bend not break game tonight, this type of win can be big for a young club.

Need to get Kakko a better center or move him up the lineup. Howden should be 4c crashing and banging.

Too many men penalties have to stop.

Still can’t get over how improved Lindgren is. He clearly took his summer very seriously. Last year he looked like he could be a AAAA player. Totally different this year. Definitely has a future as a modern day shut down guy in the NHL. Good skater, can jump up in the play can play physical but also has skill, will make the right and smart play 99% of the time.

And a perfect storm reuniting with his WJC pairing mate Fox.

Howden goes out there and maximizes his ability, such as it is, every shift.

By the way, this is almost exactly the playbook Brind’Amour used with Svechnikov last season. Play him mostly with bottom-6ers and he’ll learn the NHL game over the course of the year without the pressure of a scoring role. Worked great. His scoring picked up as the season went on and ended up with 20 goals. This year, he’s PPG.

Chytil should have played center. Mind numbingly stupid to move him to wing with how he’s been playing there. And to accommodate Howden rather than give Kakko some talent to work with? Just stupid.


Fox was excellent again. Such a gem.

Good win against a good team but some dumb decisions lineup wise.

Edit: to quote Dr. Tobias Fünke: “I feel like a ****ing idiot” could have sworn Chytil was playing RW but I was distracted watching to some degree

They aren't "accommodating" Howden.
