Expecting that to change in game 2

Expecting that to change in game 2

I expect him to retire in two weeks

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

I expect him to retire in two weeks

Or one week ?

 

[Sal_Butera]

Guhle struggled

 

[east coast]

Newhook needs to better. He is not suited for centre. Put Evans between him and Demi if Kap is struggling.

Scratch Tex or Bolduc and bring back Veleno for the PK + if you want another guy to take face offs from the 4th line.

I don't care what the narrative is-Daneault is bringing nothing. He had the puck two feet from the blueline on the penalty kill and yet managed not to get it out even though he wasn't pressured. I believed they scored seconds later, but I could be wrong on the timing. If he can't be counted on anymore for defensive basics, what good is he?

 

[Habspatrol]

I'd like to see Reinbacher in the lineup. I'd probably put him in for Struble.

 

[Fred the Man]

Guhle struggled

He did draw the penalty late in the 3rd by putting his head and neck in the way of the Tampa player’s stick.

We have a knack for not clearing the zone when we have a chance.

 

[east coast]

fuck this shit

Refs completely fucked this game up

It was awful. Instead of trying to blend in, the refs decided they wanted to be the show. What a mess.

Occasionally, you will see a game reffed the right way. This was not it.

 

[Krustchev]

Corey Perry was invisible

So was Brayden Point.

[Habsy]

Bullshit. We did not take over their arena. Not even close. Yes there was a decent turnout but get real.
