Stumpy

Well that was a boring period. Not nearly as sloppy as recent games. But, sometimes it's hard to tell if both teams are playing really good defense, or just really bad offense.

The only thing I can think of is that he is trying to match the defense to the different styles of the goalies.

Although I wonder if the Fluery/Gardiner switch has something to do with Canada's favourite illegitimate son starting in net tonight?

Get well soon Turbo. Sounds like it's just rest for The Gardener.

Some tweaks...

I didn't realize they had such along layoff. Hopefully it takes the a while to knock the rust off.

Not necessarily. If we were to go 3-1 or 4-0, especially if they are regulation wins, that would be huge for playoff seeding. And we will, presumably, be getting Mrazek back at some point. If we are still averaging ~4 goals a game AND have the inside track for the top seed when Petr gets back, we would have the flexibility to strategically rest some guys with minor nicks and scratches, and go into the playoffs as healthy/rested as possible.

He has 3 different burners... I'm dying... @theoedmond5 @edmth2 @no_pander (the follows on this acct are )

I don't care who is in net, really. I just hope we come out ready to play tomorrow. I feel like we got screwed with this rescheduling. This 4 game series is going to have serious playoff implications. Luckily, other than Mrazek, we are relatively healthy going in. One way or the other, I think we'll be able to look back at this week as the turning point in our season.

Oh man ... An own goal would've been the perfect ending for this game.

What are the NHL regulations re jorts?

I think the whole team did after the last outing.

I feel like ole Jesper should play every game sleeveless with a piece of straw in his mouth.

lol

I don't know if the actual Optimus Prime would've stopped that shot.

Wow.

That was much closer to warranting a penalty shot than the one in Columbus.

I think de Haan might be getting one of those warning memos from Adam Sillver with that flop.

The Martyman can Cause he hits you with the glove And makes you drink your food.

This game's starting to get kinda chippy. I like it!

Also De Haan took a nasty shot to the face at the end of that play. Wasn't intentional, but looked pretty painful.

Finally cash one in on the power play!

Mr. Svechnikov, this man has a family!
