anyone else still have a problem with this garbage site on mobile? The post are always an hour or more behind. It will show me there are 5 pages, i can force it to show me more by manually entering a higher page number like 20 ( a guess), and then it will show me the "current" page (17) but then it doesnt fix it, and i have to keep tricking it.

Yep, it's not just you.

I have to keep reloading the page on my phone. Kind of annoying.

You typed it backwards….give me Copp, motte, and vatrano in that order

We don’t need another winger making 4 mil
Vatrano makes 2.6 now. I think 3 max would be acceptable. Copp wants 5+. If we can replace Strome for that it might be worth it. Winnipeg fans say he is a third liner nothing more. Motte earns about 1.255 million a year. He would probably take 1.5 to sign.

Peg fans are morons if they think that considering that hes been in their top 6 pretty much all year.
 
Chytil looks a lot better lately and make no mistake that his line mates are playing into it. No more black hole Gauthier to waste all of the chances. Laf-Chytil is developing into a very good pair.
One thing they miss with Gauthier, is they have less PP time. He drew a lot of penalties with his speed and drive to the net.

But with Vatrano and Motte making up for that lost speed, I'm surprised they haven't drawn many penalties.

If Vatrano is due $3m he’ll probably have to get it elsewhere. Probably part of the reason he only cost a fourth. It’s unfortunate.

A bunch of guys had excellent games. Trouba's ninja stick to prevent the 2 on none probably saved the game.....
I been raving about Troub's play of late, but if we're honest about that play, there's no way two guys should have been behind him. He also allowed that backdoor play on Georgie happen by leaving Rasmus Asplund all alone in front. That goal put Buffalo on the board and back into the game.

So while that ninja stick and subsequent deflection on net was a thing of beauty,... and his hard, low point shot causing a rebound off the goalies pads, that Panarin promptly put in the back of the net, were some excellent plays,.. he's made some real gaffs tonight. But so did Fox and Panarin, so he is in good company. LOL

Not our best game. But what makes this team so great this year, is that we are talented enough to overcome our mistakes and then clamped down during crunch time and play our best hockey. We put on a clinic in the third. We fought hard for another comeback win.

How great is Frankie V's shot. I'm really surprised he hasn't had much success in his prior 6 seasons. That weapon is deadly. He had 24 goals one year, but with that trigger finger, he should be as prolific as Auston Matthews. That's who he reminds me of. A guy who can score with a wrister from anywhere on the ice. Honestly, what is stopping this guy from putting up huge numbers? Great snapshot, can one-time the puck with the best of them, has the speed to get good looks at the net,... why has he not scored 40 or 50 with that rocket release? Only a marksman can score two goals seconds apart. The last guy to do it on this team was Jagr. And I thought Kreids had a good shot.

Zee has two guys now he can set up for monster blasts. You watch, Frankie will score 10 or 15 goals in our final 16 games remaining. Him playing with two of the top forwards in the game today, he is bound to get some great looks the rest of the way. His 3 goals in 2 games on that line, is just a preview of things to come. You watch.

What a pickup! Copp is no slouch either, but he did cost more giving up Barron.

Spotlight Cam is the answer to the question, "How can we make the viewing experience worse?"

What the hell is MSG Network thinking here? What's the best way to let them know that the Spotlight Cam is the worst addition to a hockey broadcast since the 1990's glow puck?

I thought it was insightful. Who knew Fox gets on and off the ice with one foot over the railing at a time? I thought maybe he did a bellyflop.

I don't understand why these broadcasts feel the need to add different cameras during game play. On replays sure it's great seeing from another angle.

I don't need a drone flying at the top of the stadium making me wanna puke on top of not knowing who's on the ice. I don't need a spotlight cam that takes up half the TV.

The only camera switch that is halfway decent is when the puck is pinned along the boards, but even then when the puck does come out you're usually trying to figure out where everyone is on the ice.

Just leave it alone TV people. Less is more with hockey.

Highly doubt that but it would be nice to see.

I think with Zee and Kreids getting the most attention on that line, and their ability to dish the puck could be great for Frankie and that shot of his. I had a feeling this might happen when he was moved up. For some reason it didn't work out well with Panarin. And thought maybe a line change would do him good. Take a look at his last game before he came here. He scored two goals, both on one-timers. His shot just looks unstoppable. I am fully impressed. With the way Zibad and Kreids are going, it's not hard to believe his success will continue.

We thoroughly outplayed them. We've been carrying play since the deadline.

I think we have an issue carrying momentum into the first half of the second period when we have a good first period. That's a much smaller issue than being poor at even strength.
And considering how we've been able to string together wins together with piss-poor 5v5 play, if this keeps up the league should be on notice.

I'm just going to out and say it - a deadly powerplay and Shesterkin alone made us one of the top teams in the league. A deadly powerplay, Shesterkin and good (not even great, just good) 5v5 play make us a Stanley Cup contender.
