Just opened up the NST players page and guess who is leading the playoffs in CF% right now?

Playoff beast Simon Nemec is available. Let’s go 10-6

With three goalies in net? It might take all three to stop one puck this series

I learned a few things watching this game.

1. Luke Hughes will be a star professional hockey player.
2. It is possible to score 2 short-handed goals on the same power play. In decades of watching multiple thousands of games, I can't recall ever seeing that.
3. Carolina's top scorer is a lame little B cheapshot artist, pulling disrespectful crap I wouldn't have done in middle school (when I was generally disrespectful 24 hours a day).
4. I was more nervous with a 4 goal lead at 8-4 and 10 minutes left than I would have been if the score were 4-0. Which is weird.
5. Jack Hughes thought he could play a professional hockey career and not lose a tooth.

Didn't we score two shorties on the same PK once?

 

[Hisch13r]

It was 5 on 4 when Palat scored, but Luke did a good job setting it up.

I mean sure it was technically a 5 on 4 but Burns had only just stepped into the zone when the goal was scored

Ruff is super transparent in his interview. He thought Bahl struggled and that both Smith and Luke were playing better. which is why he didn't play much in the third. Speaking of Luke he thought he was not just good but great. Regarding Vanacek: he wished Vanacek had stopped some, but he also made some big saves when the game was tight. More neutral, which makes me think no decision has been taken for next game.

Vanecek couldn't stop a beachball in that game

Luke did make up for his goal allowed by creating one though, albeit a 5 on 3

was 5 on 4

I think we did like a decade ago.

Ryan Graves

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I think we did like a decade ago.

I think it was the year that we were like, a net 0 on PKs. Like we scored as many shorties as teams had powerplay goals against us

Yeah, but have you done deep recon on his character?

 

[youryeah]

team is either on the gas or out of gas in each win/loss. no in-between lmao

CHAOS

Even without the boner, I think Luke's breakouts are simply too important at ES. I'd like him to see every ES minute we can feed him, because the team just works better with him.

The PP requires his specific skills a little less imo, and given our psychotic shorties against record this season, I'm fine not jumbling it more than necessary (just play PP2 more).

Without looking, I think we did it at Toronto early in the 17-18 season? It was either that or a 5 on 3 SHG.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Unless Graves is ready to go Bahl stays in the lineup.

Hamilton and L Hughes can't play PK.

I'd let Luke PK at this point.

get mikey another shorty

Probably.

I can't remember crap any more. But it's pretty damn rare I think.

If the team can actually learn to move around the ice, Luke brings so much to the pp. However, with them being static as f***, it's gunna make him look bad.

Gibbons 5 on 3

 

[PWiz30]

The more I think about it the shorties* I care about those shorties. One was a bad penalty shot call and the others were in garbage time.

Edit: wtf?

 

[Hisch13r]

Probably.

I can't remember crap any more. But it's pretty damn rare I think.

I'm curious how many times a team has scored 3 on the same penalty. I know Boston did it to the Canes in like 2010

Enjoying the victory for tonight.
