Around the League 36-But Who's Counting...

[A Star is Burns]

Another gutsy comeback in regulation for the Isles against the Pens.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Great ending in Pittsburgh. Just chaos and excitement when the goalie was pulled.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Jets win!!!!

 

[Chrispy]

That’s Istanbul.

Not Constantinople.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Thank god the Jets won. Canes just need to keep beating the teams that we should beat and we should hold onto this damned division.

This week should be a good test or challenge for taking care of business - 3 non-playoff foes in a row.

We're doomed

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

We're doomed

Or in the case of the stadium series with Sean McDonough, were domed.

[AD Skinner]

That’s Istanbul.

Not Constantinople.

That’s nobody’s business but the Turks

 

[chaz4hockey]

Makar out with another concussion.

2x this year with the last one coming from a hit he initiated but he got the wrong end of the result.

Btw: great player but after that hit on Staal LY in Colorado so be it.

 

[Lempo]

That’s nobody’s business but the Turks

All in all a very Byzantian issue.

 

[kinglazybones]

But what if I have a date in Constantinople??

But what if I have a date in Constantinople??

She’ll be waiting in New Amsterdam.

Question - Should the Canes move Necas up to the top PP with Aho, given them a double one time threat, Necas on the Left dot, Aho on the Right Dot and Burns in the middle

I ask because the last couple of games Necas has shown he has a very wicked onetime. Aho also has a solid One Timer and having a threat from both sides of the ice and from Burns in the middle to me would make for a very awesome PP. Something we are lacking at the moment.

I think they'd be ok with Svech in that spot given he's had success with the settle and shot from the left side. all be it not much lately. And you potentially keep Necas's one timer away from the 1st PK unit.

ROR with 2 goals already in this game.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Well, when a lot of folks were down on O'Reilly as a target, I said I'd be thrilled to get him and that I thought he was a good bet to turn it on away from the Blues and their bad season. Looking good so far. For the record, even though I'm super skeptical he'd choose us, I've felt the same about Kane.

Yep. ROR had good metrics and was facing the toughest competition with Leivo and Saad. Even if he stayed in STL, there was likely to be a regression to the mean, in a good way. Now he's centering Marner and Tavares against easier competition. They were globe-trotting the Sabres tonight when I was watching in the 1st when the Canes were at intermission.

Same goes for Kane. Would love to have him even if I think it's unlikely.

 

[Svechhammer]

Wrong thread

 

[A Star is Burns]

Kane just made a nice feed to Tyler Johnson to tie the game late.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Holy shit Kane just won the game in OT on a breakaway with a slapshot. Just beat the buzzer.

 

[surfzone365]

Ho lee fuk Kane just won the game in OT on a breakaway with a slapshot. Just beat the buzzer.

A team dead last in the league playing like they are jockeying for home ice in the playoffs. Domi has been superb in Chicago.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Aw, original view showed he beat the buzzer on the Hawks broadcast, but just a split second after. Still was a cool look for a second.

 

[surfzone365]

Hawks win the SO. Good game! Hawks are losing focus on Bedard by winning games.
