Kane looking around thinking "do I pass it to Veleno... or Fischer??? good lord..."

And yet we harp on young forwards for not producing with those linemates...

 

[Reddwit]

Top line is intact.
3rd line has been one of the few dangerous ones we've had last few games.

About the only other option would be to swap Tank to the 4th and Kane with Copp n Cat on the 2nd. Maybe they want to limit Kane's minutes coming back from 2 weeks off.

As if that isn’t the obvious choice…

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Tank winding up so long it would've gotten blocked in the AHL

 

[LongTimeDRWF]

Both Islanders and Blue Jackets lost

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

is Tarasenko using a stick with the wrong handedness? He can't receive the puck, he whiffs on passes and shots, he literally can't do anything right with the puck

 

[Reddwit]

Both Islanders and Blue Jackets lost

And Philly. And the Habs.

 

[norrisnick]

Nice drawing a penalty

 

[theYman]

Yay we shot the puck

A PP? Really? No way

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Missed most of the period due to other things. How did we let Suter score? Of course it was a former player. Nice for Dcat though.

So far Suter is having one of those games where the puck seems to follow him around.

Naturally as an unremarkable former Wing, he's had several quality chances.

Am I reading the standing right? TBL has games in hand but we technically move into a playoff spot if we win tonight?

We would actually move into WC1 because we have more RW than the BJs.

 

[RedHawkDown]

He’s definitely good on the power play but I honestly think Kane makes the team worse overall bc everyone else jsut plays worse for some reason when he’s out there

Yes, and I *think* by win percentage we'd overtake Columbus.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

DeBrincat could already have 4 goals tonight

 

[chances14]

wings look half a step behind so far in this game.

 

[RedWingzz]

That was a brutal period by Raymond..he looks off

A couple bad turnovers, a couple more straight up horrible passes.... hopefully he shakes this off because that was ugly

 

[ElProfessor]

Extremely fortunate to get out of that period tied.

Larkin had that goal off Shine early yesterday...but close to the quietest 60 minutes our 1st line has had all yr

 

[Sentinel]

That was a great comment from the commentators about Wings going on a 2.30 min PP because of the tariffs.

 

[ElProfessor]

I know, right? These lines don't make any sense.

100%. Hopefully a change coming

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

so much for Kane helping on the PP -- we would have been much better off there to have had Kasper on that unit instead

if he's not helpful on the PP then Kane is as useless as Tarasenko -- has anyone seen the trebuchet? Since LaLonde's departure, I mean.

 

[Chris Langlois]

Why does gustufson still get pp time? What a stupid play he made near the end there. He's literally done nothing to earn pp time. Edvinsson is leading our D with goals and moves the puck wayyy better than him. Super frustrating. Also tank should change his number from 11. I hate that number lol

 

[norrisnick]

As if that isn’t the obvious choice…

They're both trash at ES. At least with Tank, DBC plays more assertive and doesn't pass off as much. I really don't like DBC and Kane together at ES.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

They have Dolo from Shoresy rapping here. Love it.

Okay so I'm not the only one.
