I love that 4th line...

Surprised Upshall didn't injure himself with that hit. He may be as brittle as Bennett.

Zatkoff couldn't read a shot if...well...it was an easy shot to read...! Ha

Is this game being played under water? Or in 1988?

Blues should move to LA.

Speaking of "Would you rather," would you rather have Eddie Lack or Jeff Zatkoff?

NBCSN dropping all of their Crosby compliments in the first 10 minutes. Sheesh.

Rust wants to be a nhler

Postby **Gaucho** » Mon Jan 18, 2016 8:26 pm

Rust never sleeps.

Zatkoff... just isn't very good. Hope he can be good enough to get a W tonight.

Lack easily.

One positive from the coaching change, maybe the most noteworthy part of it so far, is how much different Crosby is playing...he doesn't just wing the puck aimlessly all over the joint...almost vintage.

Jeez. Kessel and Malkin are giving it the old college try, but there isn't much chemistry there.

Postby **Faubert5** » Mon Jan 18, 2016 8:33 pm

Train wreck.

Postby **large garlic** » Mon Jan 18, 2016 8:33 pm

Blech...Zatkoff pulled one out of old Fleury's playbook.

this isn't a brent johnson situation. but it's not not a brent johnson situation

I'd be surprised if there isn't seven goals scored in this one...both these goalies are on the Butt Squad...

Postby **Gaucho** » Mon Jan 18, 2016 8:34 pm

So smooth.

Postby **Avyran** » Mon Jan 18, 2016 8:34 pm

... k, my "would you rather" isn't even close.

Postby **meow** » Mon Jan 18, 2016 8:34 pm

Just like you draw that one up, boys

If the pens get to a point where they absolutely need to go on a run of points, zatkoff cannot be the backup goalie
