Slaggert scores! Warren driving the wing sets the table.

This was Houser stopping the 2-on-not-quit-1 chance early -

[Chainshot]

Dunne and Simoneau get coincidental penalties - Simoneau for hooking Dunne, Dunne for pulling the offending stick out of Simoneau's hands. Too funny.

 

[Chainshot]

And tied on a Tuch shot with a lot of traffic from Arseneau that dribbles in, 1-1.

 

[Chainshot]

Wahlberg coming down the slot on a rush decides to pass instead of shoot on an odd-man rush. Cut that out.

 

[Chainshot]

Laval dominant PP shift and score to make it 2-1 with 10:29 left in the 3rd. Oh, it was Barre-Boulet.

 

[Chainshot]

Wahlberg ties it moments later! Dirty area goal, just Kulich going hard to the net and knocks it free, Wahlberg puts it in. Kulich has been absolutely flying tonight.

 

[Chainshot]

I love that Neuchev plays the puck and attacks the net like scoring is personal, like he can jam that puck home and break one off in the other team.

is anyone ready for a game up here , a taste to shame the current players in a future game they think is beneath these buff clowns ,like a Benson high IQ, just a couple games then down anyone other than kulich?

Kulich looks like his skating is at another level. He's who I would think would be the guy to come up. Rosen's had some good play, noticeable use of his speed but it seems like since Kulich has returned that he's deferring to Jiri to shoot. Neuchev is probably third on my list but Helenius might be there by the end of the year - Konsta seems to elevate in important minutes.

On the blueline, Rathbone's been my favorite all year thus far. Novikov could get a look too, but Metsa probably deserves a contract as much as anyone and has been their top blueliner all season.

Helenius sets a pic in the offensive zone and Laval get a PP in OT.

 

[Chainshot]

And Mailloux wins it on the PP.

Benson's line mate? sabres need personal non entitled etc

Wait, a pick got called in a pro hockey game? This is like when Doug Flutie did that dropkick field goal as a once in a lifetime event.

cool, thank you

so, what would you pay? , probably overpay right.... I suppose a pur 1st rd pick and prospect to buy/ trade for a top 4 D man to calm our group , that would set a positive example like Craig Anderson but ten years younger w 1 year and half left right?

also intuitive enough to communicate ,in game w wing/center, to truly let dahlin, byram and power improvise and skate it up ice with confidence someone always had their back and is physical but way more talented ( to eat 20 min plus but mainly to actually have our cocky number one overalls listen to and respect a hedman or lidstrom , fetisov larionov etc

quite the tall order mid season but necessary to have faith in this squad . remember bottoril failing to overpay to help w shots of him on camera agonizing In press box. . We seem at a similar precipice, but this time our cupboard is full should we fail.


help Kevyn, w a why, out.

I'm curious what you would do ?

I think you know more about both teams than most on the boards .
