[Klank Loves You]

E.Z.

 

[Blanick]

1 of 2 in the bag. Win again on Thursday and were in it.

 

[PocketNines]

3 Stars:

1. Binnington
2. Parayko
3. Faksa

 

[Xerloris]

People have been speculating here for a while about Faulk's possibility of physical problems, but would that really cause his poor decision making on the ice?

Depends on how painful the injury is.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Nice simple play by the 4th line ends up in a goal

Thought 4th was really good tonight. As was Tucker. He looks more confident.

 

[Blanick]

3 Stars:

1. Binnington
2. Parayko
3. Faksa

Definitely. I didn't love the goal against on Binnington but overall he was fantastic tonight. Honorable mentions to Joseph and Toropchenko. Whole 4th line was great tonight.

 

[PocketNines]

Parayko was truly awesome in this game, that's a fair call

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Much needed win. Now do it again on Thursday.

This team desperately needs to string together 5 wins.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

So damn nice getting offence from the Bottom 6 and Defense when our top 6 can't score.

 

[PocketNines]

another point for Fowler

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Fowler with a key block at the end there.

Proving night in and night out to be a disastrous acquisition.

 

[PocketNines]

this is the kind of game that showcases why I like Neighbours even without him getting a point

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Fowler with a key block at the end there.

Proving night in and night out to be a disastrous acquisition.

But what has Fowler done wrong? Huh!?

 

[TheOrganist]

I was there and the team defense was outstanding, forwards and defense. Fowler, Parayko, Broberg and Tucker in particular were great. They reloaded really well all night and Calgary created pretty much nothing on the forecheck. Special shutout to Holloway who played an outstanding two-way game.

 

[PocketNines]

Faksa has been shepherding the Czech prospects. Stancl said he drove them around in his sports car and took them for dinner in camp. Super scary injury he overcame

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

But what has Fowler done wrong? Huh!?

Simply existed as the best defenseman on a terrible hockey team for his entire career.

 

[DatDude44]

Having a 4th line that can actually play again is so nice.

 

[PocketNines]

Neighbours is shorter and plays wing but he is the same age as David Backes was about a dozen games into his NHL career. Neighbours is already at 174 games. Backes had to grow into his physicality to match his style of play, which Neighbours also needs to. I think of Backes and Schenn as physical "bleed blue" captains who Neighbours evokes with his play. Just perspective for a player who needs his body to catch up with his battle a bit

 

[mk80]

We definitely looked more engaged tonight, hopefully we can continue stringing some wins together.

 

[TheOrganist]

Having a 4th line that can actually play again is so nice.

I think Joseph can find a home on the 4th line. I think he has the potential to be a lot more effective than Walker as a forechecking forward and penalty killer. They should def give that trio we saw tonight a run of games together.

I like the Brendan Morrow comp a little better to be honest. They're much more similar in size, feistiness, and goal scoring prowess around the net.

 

[MortiestOfMortys]

It’s gotta be hard to go in and out of the lineup all the time, but my god Texier looked awful tonight. Got bailed out by his linemates multiple times, but he wasn’t doing his job. I had high hopes for him coming into this year, but I’m ready to cut bait on him. He definitely shouldn’t be playing over Bolduc or Joseph.

 

[Baby Doaner]

What a fun game it was tonight. The wife took me and a few kids for my Hanukkah present this year. Up in sec 315. Well worth the drive from Marshfield.

 

[Reality Czech]

So damn nice getting offence from the Bottom 6 and Defense when our top 6 can't score.

Sadly that has been too often lately, but a nice team win. Tucker is solidifying his spot as the 6D with his recent play, and Faksa has been solid all season long in his role. The only real mistake in the game was one of the forwards (either Saad or Buch) blowing their coverage and letting Bahl walk in alone from the point for their only goal.

For all the criticism Neighbours has received on this board for his supposedly poor defensive play, who did Monty have out on the ice during most of the last 2 minutes? Thomas, Buch and Neighbours, who came up with a big block late in the game. Nice effort from him as well.

Who are all these phantoms ripping on Jake?
