Reimer had to move to get Staal's shot in his chest! Nice chance!

 

[Wolfpuck]

Staal, of course…

 

[Stickpucker]

Cory tweeted this like 15 min before you posted this lol

This is my problem with fancy stats. I haven’t seen KK do anything tonight in either direction that was notable. What does one do to achieve this stat line? He’s just out there to this point. Necas is driving that line 100%. KK has chipped a couple of pucks out of the zone, which is good and safe. If Necas is going to play like this all season than I guess it doesn’t matter than he doesn’t do more, but that’s unlikely. People already reaching for fancy stats that explain something deeper to explain why he’s actually playing well without ever explaining what he’s actually doing well is going to get old.

But I digress as it’s the second game. He’s got time obviously.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Oh boy, another power play.

Burns pls

 

[cptjeff]

Powerplay time! May it not be last year's.

 

[Rick Davis]

Thanks for explaining the SJ penalty to us Mike….

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Noesen is going to get a penalty soon. He is running people

We need Mike Leggo back in the league. He's the ref who once just said, "you can't do that."

 

[Stickpucker]

And most of all, f*** the Kings!

Because they're rich and we need a sugar daddy?

 

[Wolfpuck]

So disorganized…

What we really should do is bring in Ron Cherry.

I initially read that as Don Cherry and was going to smack you.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Completely needless penalty by Turbo

He's got an active stick and great positioning to break up offensive plays, forcing turnovers and loose pucks that his teammates are able to get to and transition up ice. In the offensive zone, he plays low risk and gets it to the more offensive dynamos while using his body position to help open up lanes. He's been the classic create room for his teammates guy except that we usually think of those guys as throwing big hits, which he doesn't do. Is that a recipie for stardom? No, but it is the quintisenssal 3C game, and that works just fine at 2C when your wings are Svech and new look Necas.

 

[Summer Rose]

At the mid-period TV timeout I'm going to go to bed and put the game on my bedroom TV. This game is back to putting me to sleep.

I am now three quarters asleep.

Wako Kid voice.

He did! He did!

Anyone else wondering if Jarvis has hairy hobitses feets in those boots?

For a second, I thought you were talking about David Leggio, who was the goalie who realized that if you intentionally pushed the net off the pegs during a breakaway it was only a 2 minute penalty and not a penalty shot.

 

[Wolfpuck]
