Welp I said Achilles Heel earlier. Right this one off boys. Fug you league. We are going to drive your face into the ice later this season.

Aho is gonna have fire. Put Nino on his line.

Ya that was still .01 seconds out though. IF the time code tag was right.

Ottawa is faster than us. That’s why we went to bear.

I’d happily give up Raanta and 2 firsts to Vancouver for Thatcher. Or really what ever they are asking(pick or prospect wise).

Raanta is not it. We gotta trade. I wanted to believe but I just can’t. And we can’t ride Freddie for all 40+ games plus playoffs.

No TT tonight still. Sounds like we rotate the liabearity in to get him some game time.

That actually leads me to another thought though. Raanta should be in net tonight. But who do we put in net against Boston? We have the wild two days later and Florida four days after that. Do we go Raanta > Raanta > Freddie > Freddie? I would have a real hard time putting Raanta in against the wild but I don’t think Raanta has two games in a row yet this season(might be wrong), but if he did it definitely wasn’t against a top 5-10 team.

Tepper needs to modify Rhules contract.

I’m hoping. Ottawa has been our Achilles heel this season so hopefully we can actually get a W against them.

I will say there was def goaltender interference though. A leaf pushed our defender directly on top of Freddie who had no chance play the rebound because of it. But I agree with Rod the refs wouldn’t have done poo about it so why even challenge.

It just sucks we got hemmed into our own end with the far change and couldn’t out past our side of the neutral zone for most of the OT. That’s something we are definitely going to have to practice mitigating. I would have taken the icing there just to reset and give Freddie a chance to glove a puck to get a change on the ice instead of just letting them change every time we kicked it out to the neutral zone.

Ya, he’s gonna get the book. I’d bank on the plaintiff refusing to press any charges at this point vs. not getting anything. He’s on video. It wasn’t anything close to what he claimed. He’s toast.

That was goalie interference. He was digging under him. Rod said nope, not worth it in the long run. He’s gonna use it as leverage.

I must say Skjei played that insanely perfectly. Poke check, settle and skate, poke check just enough to give Freddie the angle. That’s unusual for him.

For 90% game I’m fine with Martinook on the Aho line. But for these last two shift pop Nino up to the Aho line and give Aho a mini-TT substitute.

Matthews with a fake ass flop.

I love Martinook. But take him off one and put him on three. Aho needs a solid passer. Not a grinder.

Refs still yawning at Svech. I’m getting tired of this poo.

That was 100% Martinook. Dude has to up his D game.

He’s gonna he $$$$ bill. We may have to give up an extra piece to keep him. I hope not. But anyone who plays with Slavin is good.

Wow. That was a designed play. That worked brilliant.

Holy fug. That leaf should be ejected.

Eh, every penalty but the trip was warranted though I’d quest Tro’s cross check. Ya we saw numbers but he hit the arm. The trip though, complete bullshit.

Ahaha. Canes getting a power play in Toronto? You’re joking. They’ve had too many men on the ice 3 times I’ve saw and nothing, and that’s just textbook calls.
