Praise the Anton.

 

[tomdundo]

Florida's offense looks so unorganized. Reminds me of an AHL team at this point.

Their offense basically IS an AHL offense.

 

[JustHereForTheFights]

Staal playing like he gives a crap? Guess that theory about the multiverse is true and we have fallen into the universe where he is worth what we pay him.

Oh wait. It's the end of the season. His shipment of caring and effort finally came in. It must have been held up in Thunder Bay by the polar vortex.

Nah, my guess is he had it shipped ahead of time to Sochi so it'd be there for him for the Olympics. When he didn't make the Olympic roster it took awhile to get it forwarded from Russia.

Speaking of Russia, I was under the impression from Devils fans that Loktionov spoke little if any English? He was fairly intelligible in that interview, heavy breathing around Chantel aside.

Seems to me that he knows what he wants to say, but is nervous that he'll say something he doesn't mean and/or use the wrong words to express himself.

I will never understand how slashing a guys stick out of his hands while he inexplicably has one hand on it is a penalty. If you slash a guy with the same motion and he has two hands on it, it's a good defensive play. One of those little moronic things that will just never compute in my brain.

"Dan pls giv me hat trick ill buy u sum kevlar socks with my new contract"

"k lol"

 

[tarheelhockey]

He's digressed? Tripp, you use that word...I do not think it means what you think it means.

*gasp*

If Tripp drops a Star Wars reference, it'll be confirmed.

Which is probably the case with Semin too, but he gets unfairly labeled an enigma because he just stays quiet instead of trying.

 

[tomdundo]

No, Tripp. The first guy I think of when I think of team leadership is NOT, in fact, Eric Staal.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Really? Every time he does anything this board references leadership.

 

[tomdundo]

You win. I'll just back away slowly.

 

[Wolfpuck]

I got back from my trip just in time to hear Tripp talking about...whatever

 

[tomdundo]

I got back from my trip just in time to hear Tripp talking about...whatever

So...basically every moment of every game?

 

[Joe McGrath]

So...basically every moment of every game?

He's had some excellent ones tonight. He talked about wanting to ride somebody hard at some point.

 

[tomdundo]

He's had some excellent ones tonight. He talked about wanting to ride somebody hard at some point.

And he's come pretty close to that with his praise of Tlusty every other whistle tonight.

 

[TheOllieC]

It seems like Loktionov has been more noticeable (in a good way) the past 3 games than Ruutu was all season.

He's pretty good.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Coach Tripp calls for the timeout!

 

[What the Faulk]

Is it just me or was that period REALLY quick?

 

[Aksu]

Wow your arena looks pretty empty

 

[bleedgreen]

I was gonna mention I think Lokti has really started hitting his stride with us. He could possibly be that Cullen like third center. Be curious to see how true those khl rumors are.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Going for shutout. 3rd pairing w/ Skinner-Lindholm-Nash.

Good thing Khudobin already re-signed.

I like the Eric-Loktionov-Tlusty line. It's not a line I'd really think of trying, personally, but it's worked out pretty well. A horse of a player (when he plays like he can) in Eric, a playmaking type in Loktionov, and a player with a knack for finding the puck in Tlusty.

 

[Wild Caniac]

And tripp calls for the timeout
