Dubnyk’s getting his revenge for his 8-2 (or whatever it was) loss years ago.

That's.... absolutely astonishing. They're being outshot by 30 and are one of the slowest teams in the league, what do they expect?

Like this post if you think Rod the Bod is in better physical shape than Bill Peters.
Need to put them down this game. Give them nothing and take a goal or 3

You can't face 10 shots and let in 2. You just can't.

Who would have guessed not addressing the goaltending weakness of last season would come back to bite us?

I think you're thinking of the Zetterberg Easton pattern that was renamed after being known as the Modano originally, and Bauer called it the P9. The Lidstrom is literally the opposite. Your P9/Z along with the Easton Sakic and the Bauer p88 have been the most common and popular amongst rec leaguers since the one pieces came out. A lot of that is because retailers, especially in the early days didn't want to spend the cash on all these sticks so only stocked a few patterns that were popular early and often never carried the other curves. The Lidstrom is imposing to look at, and the sticks are so expensive not many people bought it afraid to try a crazy curve, hate it and have lost out on that cash. The original Shanahan and Yzerman were also great Easton curves that not everyone got exposed to in those days. Giroux and Pat Kane use the Bauer version of the old Shanahan, I dont think anyone uses the old Yzerman.
So your P9/Z is a pretty straight curve, mild bend at the heel with a very low 5 lie, and it's thin. Very good playmaker curve but the opposite of the Lidstrom which is tall with a very deep curve and a 5.5-6.0 lie. A Pietrangelo in STL used to use the P9 - no idea if he still does I haven't watched him in awhile. Hedican used to use the Easton version.

Yeah but now our hopes are pinned on Scott Darling again. FML.
Earlier Faulk could have put the puck outside with bit more patience...

Who knew Tripp would be right for once? Said that 5on3 PP we had would very much be a pivotal moment in the game

It's all the more frustrating when you see that many of our choices are doing well. We literally picked the worst possible options out of those available. Two years in a row.

That wasn't on mcbackup. Lucky bounce to a blind backhand in the slot.

I haven't read anything here for a few days, so I don't know if there's any context to this, but my hatred for Justin Faulk is affecting my ability to live my life. He's so horrifically bad and continues to get regular ice on the PP and SH. He is our single worst player and he's killing us.
That is all.
That is all.
Yeah. I’m more concerned that nobody could tie up the five foot five Spurgeon.
