.....Smith (like I said prior) was super solid. Had that stupid high glove hit on Carlson he got nailed for, but I like that and always have. (Except when it costs)
.....Zbad would have had an assist, had Panarin done what he usually does.
.......I thought Hayek played well, he's getting more minutes and coming along. Made a few mistakes, happens.
.....Gauthier has got to get that puck in deeper instead of passing cross ice, then compounds it by taking penalty to make up for bad pass. He drew penalty (so i guess that makes up for it?) Anyway, hope he doesnt sit next game because of it.
.....Is it me, or is Bitetto good at keep-ins?
........Lindgren, besides being solid defensively is really adding some offense on a regular basis now. Quinn trusts him to do so.
....... if you watch Laf's goal from the beginning, it was he himself, that made that good stick steal behind the net keeping the Play Alive and eventually becoming his goal. BTW that was a beauty! Took control of the play, otherwise no goal.
.........Its a small thing I noticed......after taking 3 zip lead, Quinn sends out Zbad, Laf, Panarin, Hayek & Bitetto. Why? Why not put out Rooney line? After scoring, dont you want to put out your better defensive players to ward off next shift? Zbad looked lame and stick checked and got bitched by Orlov. He is NOT right, and woukldnt be surprised he sits next game. He needs to heal if thats possible.
.......why is the PK so good? Rooney. Actually wins them. Speaking of, the Caps are even worse than we are.
And are a bunch of whiny babies, complained about every penalty, whether it was called or not.
........Rooney. Great shot that was robbed by "flailing the pads", (and what usually is needed in close) but after all is said and done.....all he had to do was slide it along ice. Haha
......anyone see Kuznetsov & Oshie both on ice, where Kuz initially hits him with stick and then hits Oshie with a right cross to the face. Someone has to tell Kuz, that Oshie is his teammate. Haha.
.......Valley must have been licking his chops thinking Shesty might score there with open net.
......Buch getting King Kong off of Zbad's back was hysterical. He is quite the character.
Two very tough losses to Boston, 2 wins vs the Caps. Proves this team CAN play with the big dogs, just have to win the games you should win. I believe we can make the PO's.
