How many minutes of this game have been actually entertaining?

Not much, The Jack Daniels is helping though.

 

[MagnumForce2]

Benson looking like our best player today

I was just thinking that also. Maybe shuffle the lines slightly in 3rd. Move Benson up with Thompson and Tuch, Peterka with Kulich and Quinn and Zucker with Krebs and Cozens to create a spark.

I have never seen a team just kill off any bit of hope or enthusiasm the way this team does.

 

[Fearnot]

JJP doesn't belong on a top line and half our players on the power play units PP1 or 2 can't keep on the same page with our better players.

 

[Chainshot]

Marty ripping on the PP.

They have a continuation of Granato-era play in that it was (and still is) okay to peel away from going to the net on the PP. They do not try to attack the front of the net even when they have numbers on the rush. It's ALWAYS peel away, pass it back, move the puck further away from the slot ... never any sort of net jam with numbers and attitude.

If anywhere could use Kreider... it would be that.

 

[Fjordy]

Maybe a little shake up is needed

Sadly we have 1 top line forward and its TT coming off an injury.

 

[Mattilaus]

Based on the thread so far, I guess it isn't a bad thing I am stuck at work and can't watch.

He's already packed his bags and is waiting to be traded to Buffalo. The Rangers have lost five in a row, by the way.

 

[Chainshot]

At least JJ had a shift after he labored off.

Borinnggg game. I don't think either team is all that focused on winning. I stopped watching about half way through the second. Just not entertaining enough.

He keeps playing.. rubbed some dirt on it..

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

that was the bombiest F-bomb I've heard in an NHL game in a while

Who said it? Missed it

They've controlled a lot of the play but they haven't converted nor really manufactured much of danger. The PP has let them down *again*. The only play they have is trying to find Tage for a one-timer and it's not enough. STILL.

What's Zach Benson's TOI?

 

[Intermission]

-3 minutes

Tuch likes to score on their extra shooters, it evens off strangely..

 

[Chainshot]

What's Zach Benson's TOI?

11:18

Fifth among all forwards.

No idea but it was DAMN loud. Almost certain it was a 'nuck

 

[Willgamesh]

Who said it? Missed it

Me, I'm in the 100's screaming FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU every turnover or bad play.

 

[Chainshot]

That GA is three mistakes - Byram waterskiing at the end of a long shift, McLeod going on his backhand and easily turning the puck over, UPL not keeping his paddle down. It's rarely just one thing.

 

[Chainshot]

Good stuck from McLeod, good stick from Tuch.

 

[Chainshot]

SOFT call.

McLeod's worst game I've seen from him.
