Bura!

Burakovsky scores on "Darren Pang"Dustin Wolf!!!

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Well. 2 point night for Wright. I call this game a success no matter the result.

 

[kihei]

Burakovsky with help from Wright ties it. Well, I'm loving this.

 

[Kevinsane]

What a nice surprise this period has been.

 

[kihei]

This is a pleasant surprise to be in this position of going into overtime. It looked pretty bleak for the longest time.

 

[Fuhrious]

So uhh

Wright has as many points as Slafkovsky now? Don’t tell HFCanadiens that though…

 

[sigma six]

Waking up the last ten minutes of the game seems a bit thematic.

 

[kihei]

Probably a bad call. But the refs missed an interference penalty seconds earlier, so let's call it even.

 

[sigma six]

Hahaha. Fell on yer face after 50 minutes of domination there, Calgary.

 

[kihei]

Beniers for the win. Wow, talk about a totally unexpected turnaround that leads to a win.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Solid come from behind win.

Yeah. They missed that cross-check/interference on Dunn just a little while back. I think this was a make up call, but I will take it.

Coming back to Win it...very good

Not quite right. Wright now has 31 points to 29 for whoever that guy was that Montreal picked. And, deliciously, Wright's 12 goals would put him in a tie for third leading goal scorer on the Canadiens.

I expect both of them to be pretty effective top-6 F's through their careers.

I am really interested how Wright's point production is with increased TOI. He only had 13:05 of ice time today but had 1G and 1A.

Sadly I don't think we'll be finding out this season. Bylsma for whatever reason just refuses to up his ice time. Between that and the horror show special teams, it's honestly got me pretty sour on Bylsma and his staff.

I was going to say the same. You need to reward your young players to motivate them more. If Wright was crap defensively I could see why. But that is not the case either.

The other thing I have noticed is that he can carry players. He has been doing it this season. The kid is starting to come into his own.

On a less positive note, Larsson is beginning to look older than his years.
