Postgame Quotes: Jordan Staal discussing the importance of getting the game's first goal in the opening minute and the role it played on the rest of the game... "It always helps. We made it hard for them to come back and it might have been a big reason why we gave up a bunch of shots. We were trying to contain them but they're a tough team to contain. It was nice to get the early lead and then Koochie stole the rest of it for us from there." Jesperi Kotkaniemi on the play of Pyotr Kochetkov in net... "It was one of those nights where you really need a good goalie and he was there, standing on his head. That's what good teams need if you want to go far." Rod Brind'Amour summarizing his thoughts on the contest as a whole... "We weren't very good and they were, so give them a lot of credit. They did what they wanted to do, we were just able to capitalize on a few of their mistakes. We started great and I thought we were ready to go, but that was our best shift of the game, really. We just weren't real tight with what we needed to do. It felt like we were chasing them most of the game but our goalie was obviously great tonight."

Jack's off...

Just for comparison...

I will sacrifice 888 zebras if they take this from us...

BB8 with #800 to 88

Say his name...

He wanted to be closer to his family in Canada...

Has he bought a shirt with all that new cash he's got lying around?

I don't think he has been bad, just unremarkable...

Bye bye jack...

I think it was Taylor you're talking about... Henderson left the game early IIRC. Regardless, the coverage scheme wasn't working and it was obvious. How the coaches couldn't see it is beyond me.

Tired, but solid. About what you would expect playing in game 2 in less than 24 hours with a depleted roster. Add in a heavy dose of adversarial zebras and you still get a Storm Surge against a playoff caliber team. With a few days rest, we will smoke them in Pittsburgh on Thursday, assuming The King is in his crease...

God I miss being there live in person! Gonna have to make a trip over to Oak City here soon...

That's why you buy single game tickets... no paper trail!

Central Area for Relocated Yankees... Where all the Pens, Bruins and Sabres fans crawl out of a couple times a year. Always nice when we can send them back to their paper mache mcmansions with tears trailing all the way down 540!

See you in a couple days Frozen Shitbirds!

Slavin almost made it a clean sweep for our S's...

Idkthe rules there... but that was a dumb shot to take. Should've reset and peppered more shots at Letang!

Goalies tend to disappear a lot against us... Someone should look into that!

¡El Capitán!
