People need to tone their expectations by saying they can’t wait for Kakko to come back, like he’s a savior. The guy has 14 f***ing points on the year. He’ll come back and be rusty, slow, and passive like he usually is. Kakko won’t give this team a shot in the arm, it’ll be more like a bandaid by removing another scrub like McKegg out of the lineup.

Hunt and these passengers are not helping. It's the right direction for Rooney and Kakko to come back.

I would love to know how Trotz and his staff teach their roster how to get away with the amount of shit they do each time. Seriously. They've turned it into a f***ing art form making the refs turn a blind eye

Cynical coaching. “They can’t call everything!” And for some reason the refs never seem upset by that. In fact, they appear to enjoy being clowned. It got that guy a Stanley cup and a huge contract though so who am I to criticize.

I’m not saying that, I’m saying people need to tone down their expectations for Kakko when he finally does come back. This isn’t a Kreider or a Mika coming back from injury. Kakko’s impact has been minimal for 3 years now. That’s been my point.

Just one time I’d love to see the Trouba train run Barzal over. Guy is such a little puke. Draws the “hook” on Goodrow, and then he gets walled off and doesn’t like it because, you know, he doesn’t like getting hit, and then he cross checks a guy and no call. I don’t know what it is with that guy. But man, I’ve watched every game this season and I have yet to see a game reffed as poorly as that one was tonight. I’m so ******* livid.

I don't understand this talk. This is what the playoffs are going to look like:
1. Solid goaltending against
2. Odd calls
3. Low scoring
4. Tie broken late in the 3rd

Bonus: Pitt won, Wash won.

This kind of game pisses me right off. We are going to have to overcome these come late April.

Kakko will help. So will Vatrano. He’s not huge but he is willing and stocky. They need one more middle six guy who can score in the playoffs. That’s why I think Kessel is a good idea. Or someone similar. Maybe a Maroon type I guess.

Rooney and Kakko are 2 NHL players that get AHL players out of the lineup. It helps the entire forward depth and Kakko is a good player and I think a healthy Kakko will make an impact.

I don't blame you one bit. They were talking about it in the post game as well. The crusher was the elbow to Lindgren's face that drew blood and then they score on the play going the other way. Grade F officiating.

Back to the Roster Building Thread to figure out how Lehkonen or Ryan Carpenter will help our 5v5 scoring

What Lehkonen and Carpenter do in the privacy of their bedroom is none of our business.

Oh baloney.

Strong game by both teams. Nice tight game, not a lot of mistakes. I felt Vatrano fit in pretty well and the added speed was noticeable at times. Also felt like Kreider is really asserting himself as the leader on this team. Soroykin had a tremendous game. The two points could’ve went either way. Good playoff type atmosphere at the garden. Move on

Of course. But beyond the numbers he just balances the lineup nicely.

Refs were ass, but I’m taking that game as another step in the right direction where this team showed they could play much better structured 5v5 hockey and play at a high pace. I’ve liked Brodzinski thus far, and he’s doing a good job of showing management why he can be a cost-effective 4C next year if Rooney is too expensive. Chytil’s been much better since returning too
