lmao. do you add 2 to the post count for Kopitar?

Poor Kopi!! Two posts in one shot, and doesn't get credit for two shots for corsi, in fact it's not even a shot on goal!! I think he's going to break out and score two goals on his next shot, and both goals will go off the left post!! Ha!! Well that's how strange his season is becoming

Yep and I'm pretty sure that's why they got the embellishment make-up call later

Larkin apparently already has quite the rep

I know the embellishment call wasn't on Larkin, though

I thought so too. The embellishment call was on Vermette i believe. I swear the Wings fall down as easy as any team in the league.

Well, he was a 73.91% CF tonight...can't hog ALL the fun!

He still put it in , but the whistle blew moments before he knocked in the rebound. He was like, "ah man, I can't get a frickin break!"

Muzzin and Doughty have been extremely disappointing so far.

Why was Dowd benched again?

Both look like they're skating at half speed and thinking at half brain.

Vanek.

And of course we get the Pens on the second night of the back to back.

Probably why Zatkoff got tonight's game, saving him the embarrassment of getting lit up by his former teammates in Pittsburgh.

If things go down the crapper tomorrow, all I ask for is someone to beat the snot out of Malkin. I can't stand how much he's gotten away with some cheapshots in previous meetings against the Kings.

Agreed about Malkin. Guy is a ****ing ******. Talented ******, but a ****** nonetheless.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

I still don't get why so many people are blaming Muzzin on that goal but no one has said a single thing about King being beat to the front by a defenseman. Muzzin got beat, yes. Kopitar took over and he was the one that allowed the centering pass. King is the one that allowed Green to skate free to the front of the net from the blue line. But the only guy that gets called out on that is Muzzin. Guys get beat all the time. Their teammates usually pick them up. Not a big deal. This isn't the same as yesterday when ROR abused Muzzin.

He's a Michigan guy. Last time he has the opportunity where he could play in his home rrink. But yeah, that too.

Agree with you both in regard to Malkin. He's the type of player that Don Cherry was exactly right about and who are ruining this league. Cheap and dirty players who hide behind the instigator.

Good to see Toffoli get a goal after driving the net. Great play by everyone on the Dowd goal. Good to see him in front of the net too. Good to see everyone in front of the net. They need more of that. Kopitar got a bounce against Buffalo, by driving the net. Keep doing that everyone.

Back to equal on the road trip. Now the toughest part of the schedule starts.

 

[Basilisk]

The good news:

If they can play as consistently as that for the next 8-9 weeks, the Cup is theirs!





The bad news:

They won't play as consistently as that for the next 8-9 weeks!

that was a good move,... but it was also some TERRIBLE goaltending - WOW!

He wound up in the net due to his own backing up.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I was more impressed by Toffoli outskating one of their best skating defensemen in DeKeyser and actually gaining position on him, that was amazing
