Non-Penguins NHL Games 2017-18

What's the rationale for putting lundqvist in at 5-1? I thought you generally only put the G1 back in if the game is still winnable.

I disagree with putting your starter into the middle of a game 99.9999999% of the time.

Especially when they are in front side of a back to back with the back side being against the defending champs who are heating up and in your division.

Scott Darling gives the Flames a 2-0 lead
Francis downing the the Gaviscon

[crusherstasiak]

That was dirty head-shot, Cassie

[crusherstasiak]

Hurricane goal-horn guy sounds horn on a shot that hit the post and ricocheted across the goal mouth, Canes stop playing to celebrate, Flames skate down 3 on 1 and make it 3-0

Flyers down 5-1 to the Rangers

Unfortunately, Saros completely shut down Vegas. What's the report on this guy? He looks like he might be a gamer.

[mikey]

Small and super talented.

Small and super talented.

Saros was great last night. And he has 3 shut outs in his past 5 games.

[meow]

He is very very good, but I have concerns about his size. He is only 5'11" and the league hasn't had a top tier goalie under 6' in...15 years? At least.

He's a heck of a talent

[mikey]

The best I can do - and I'm stretching both in terms of time and in terms of tier - but Jaro Halak nearly got Carey Price boxed up and shipped out once upon a time...

[meow]

Yeah probably. Saros has a higher ceiling. Halak has lazy hands at times - a big no-no for smaller keeps.

I haven't seen many goalies that can skate like Saros. Like Jocelyn Thibault level skater.

Flower had another great game last night, against the Lightning. So glad he's doing well.

[shmenguin]

Ok what the f*** is happening. This isn't real life with Vegas. Freaking presidents trophy front runners.

[Gaucho]

Expansion Draft in the cap era: teams getting rid if big and/or unwanted contracts, gifting the new franchise a #1 goalie, a competent D and some decent forwards. Still, very impressive. That said, **** them. It will probably turn out to be their best and hopefully only good season in franchise history.

Coaching. Gerard Gallant deserves a ton of credit. These guys are up and back, up and back every shift...he's getting a ton out of this group...

[Troy Loney]

Was Fleury hurt? Why has he only started 15 games this season?

[Gaucho]

Concussion.

[llipgh2]

This. He's really done a fantastic job. He took the fall for a crappy Panthers team, glad he is succeeding.

[shmenguin]

That recipe usually calls for one part unexpected success and one part pit of despair the next year.

But I hope we play them in the finals for now

[offsides]

Well, that sucks. Flyers beat the Caps to jump over us in the playoff hunt. We are on the outside looking in.
