I need to see him lift the cup so bad. Kid does everything the right way and does it at a high level.
Players like that deserve the ultimate reward

I enjoy not being in the usual December death march for once.
Let a certain other team deal with that.

The Eastern bubble is such a joke that the Penguins have jumped into a playoff spot for the first time this year, maybe for the only time this year. They end tonight in the second wild card spot.
Of course this is just on a technicality. Ottawa still holds it based on points percentage.

I think that would be a very good 4th line.
And while improving on Palat's spot on the top line would be ideal, I don't see it necessary as that line has been very good, it would also be fairly costly. Assuming the line continues to play well in the regular season, I think you have to let Palat a run in the playoffs with that line. It is one of the big reasons we brought him in.

It is vindicating to see that was very likely true every time we said it.
That wild card 2 race may limp doen to the wire

Small correction.
Ottawa is playing right now in Seattle, so Pittsburgh may not even end tonight in a playoff spot if Ottawa gets even one point.
I would like us to have an alternative option for the top 6. We have been shut out a number of times, think we need some depth options and I'm not sure Palat will hold up in a top 6 role all year. Even if he does, Mercer might not.
Do the blues have a habit of pulling their goalie early?
They had the net empty for their goal with 10 minutes left (something I think may have been glossed over on the broadcast), and then pulled their goalie with about 5 minutes left again

Good thing mercer doesn't play in our top 6
We're also one of the top teams in the league thus far.
I'm more of the mindset that we can wait and see if these guys will start contributing more offense. Palat's actually on a bit of a run now. Had a bunch of good chances tonight.
Is this one of those Nico 3rd line jokes?
Min 200 minutes Luke is currently the only D in the league with over a 60% xG. Kovy is also 10th among D.
Let me know when he’s as good as Lane Hutson.

Big reason why winning the division is a prize worth going after.
Pretty large gulf between those wild card teams and someone like Carolina or Washington
A division win will do wonders
Who ever gets 1 in this division is going to dog walk the wild card while 2-3 are gonna be in a dog fight

No real reason to rush a trade while things are working and prices probably are way too high.
Worth waiting and seeing how the market shakes out a bit.
I think it's even more important this year than it generally is. The 2/3 Metro seeds could easily end up finishing with like the 2nd and 4th best records in the conference or something stupid like that. Currently the Caps/Devils/Canes are the top 3 in pts% in the conference and 1st, 5th, and 6th in the league.

I actually agree with how they did it. you're down three goals in the third and you have an o-zone faceoff, take advantage. That's much better than trying to pull the goalie on the fly
Disgusting to see the Blues park the bus in the 3rd again, except that this time they were down by 2 goals.
f*** this team, we don't have to play them any more this year, thankfully.

2 goals down but I also agree with them pulling the goalie early in a spot that makes sense.
Did it make the devils fans more nervous that they pulled their goalie early or would devils fans have preferred the Blues keep their goalie in net until 1-2 minutes left?
For me, I get more nervous if the other team aggressively tries to tie it up by pulling the goalie. Sure, the game may effectively end earlier but the opponent now has a better chance to actually make good on their comeback.

Brent Sutter did that a long time ago too with us in a game against Carolina and we scored 2 quickly to make it a game. Let me see if I can find the game in the box score. Shouldn't be too hard lol
Might've been this game, not totally sure, lol

Once Luke stops deferring so much, watch out.
