As Vegas nears capture by the lowly St. Louis Blues, it's almost like having your best players not in the lineup isn't a good "strategy"...

Yeah, that's a wild way to pronounce both of those words. What a deep valley of emphasis using the incorrect vowel in both haha

“- I never do stuff like that, but it was worth it tonight. My biggest goal this year? Easily. More than that. It's one of the most relieving goals I've ever scored, says Erik when we meet him an hour after the game. - But if I hadn't done that, I don’t know if I’d even play my 1,000th game on Satu...

The thing that'll be interesting to me - and it's happening very graphically in front of us - is the progression of JSI... His first handful of games, he was timid...scared to skate even very obvious routes into the NZ. Then some comfort, skating the routes, but doesn't really want the puck. Now, he...

Yeah, if something crazy is about to unfold...sure. But otherwise stay seated and back. Usually the most I'll do is I will tilt forward if a 2 on 1 is developing just in excitement...but I try diligently to be mindful in public...

Jarry vs. Boston is where I'd go right now. And then figure it out based on circumstance. It's Ned's net for game 1 vs the Rangers.

I've been looking into a lot of stuff like that...where I go, "oh, that looks like a really young version of that person..." Jeff Goldblum's first is in Deathwish (and it's quite a way to start haha) Kevin Bacon is in Animal House There's a bunch of good ones that of course I can't recall off hand b...

Love it!

That's a fun Sporcle, if that's something that still exists...

While that's likely...Washington can pass us in regulation wins...so if we win two in OT and lose a third and they win all three of theirs in regulation, we're out...

Good opportunity to get Jarry some action against Boston...

As I've said for a while now...dirtiest player in the league.

Lyon really should have played that puck after the Rackell chance instead of, you know, just kind of flicking it right to Crosby.

He should have also played some of the four pucks that went through him tonight...

Crosby 14th player to record 1000 assists. 49 more and he's top 10 in that as well...

14. Crosby 1000
13. Sakic 1016
12. Lemieux 1033
11. Dionne 1040
10. Howe 1049

Such classic Erik Karlsson...

Ok, that's one point. Let's get another.

Insane amount of defensive breakdowns in this one...after we had been so good defensively the last couple weeks. This game has been very loose...like, beyond fundamentals loose...

You can't get called for delay of game if you just hang out behind your net with the puck, right? Then why if the Wings don't have any players inside the blue line aren't we just hanging out back there daring them to come chase? You can get something for not advancing the puck...but it would be rar...

Buffalo beats Washington 4-2. That's a help.

Tough play when you knock down a dump in. Someone has to get the guy in front, that wasn't a certain reverse there...

Looked like elite defense to me...

Here's something that abnormally annoys me -- when a goal is scored in the last minute of the period, why does Ryan Mill wait to announce the goal until the beginning of the next period? Same way that he won't announce a goal until after a TV timeout is over. Does he need his voice on the airwaves ...

Let's play a good period here. Reset, play it hard defensively like we've been doing and capitalize on their mistakes and goaltending...

Alex Lyon don't want it...

good call

When you look like he did to start the game, it's not so tough...looked very unsettled, a lot of guessing, not confident in his movement...that usually leads to a bad game...let's hope it continues...

my god how do you let that trip go? Like, if you're trying to let stuff go and MP gets hit and you can cop out and go, "well, in the process of him going down, he took someone down with him..." but once you see that it causes a turnover, get your arm up...you can't allow a scoring chance to develop...
