God I hate the shootout

 

[billingtons ghost]

what the hell happened to siegs

I watched the replay but didn't see anything crazy? am I missing something

Naw it looked like an innocuous play but hitting a rut like that is one of those classic acl/mcl thingies.

Funny that before the game, someone said they wanted Rakel, and the guy scored almost all the goals tonight. Kicked one in (waived off), kicked in Jack's goal, scored on the wraparound, scored one of the two shootout goals.

One of the best things of this pretty embarrassing win was that it might push the Pens into seller territory.

I could see Rakel or Rust as nice, annoying, playoff-type triggerman/netfront to move someone in our top six down... And not too pricey for the goalscoring...

Cotter earned his flowers. 12 goals, playing a physical game, big shootout goal to get the boys going.

Hes been a solid acquisition.

That defensive play on the 3-on-1 to save a goal was one of the best defensive things I've seen by a forward not named Bratt in a long time.

Vegas lost to the Isles tonight. That game can be won Thursday.

Vegas has lost their last 6 games against Metro teams. Let's make it 7 Thursday.

No win is "pretty embarrassing", especially at this point in the year. Bank points any way you can and get to the break.

I think Timo won us our last shootout as well right? In 2022-2023 in Washington? Same type of goal I believe.

dougie won this shoot out

yeah, we're down our 2nd most important player and our (very good) starting goalie limping into an extended layoff.

points are points and points are nice. i'll worry about form around deadline time.

We also played the whole game down our best defensive player. We needed 30 minutes from Luke and 26 from Dillon.

 

[TheBeerNerd]

Two points is two points but all the same, I want a move done before the 4 Nations break. The forward depth is nonexistent and it isn't like other teams are sitting on their thumbs right now.

OT is fine. Most games get decided in 5 mins and when it doesn't we want more 3 on 3. Solve boring low event 5 on 5 before tinkering with 3 on 3.

its the point how its decided. the nhl certainly didn't make this change thinking they are going to slow grind out victories in whats supposed to be a super exciting skill show off for an extra point. its slowly gotten worse from the first year and will continue to do so. 3on3 is pretty gimmicky but its exciting at least teams ragging the puck playing keep away willingly is even more gimmicky then the shootout imo
