Ducky

You have got to admit though he has taken the demotion like a real professional.

If it were me, Hutch would get LA and the Ducks this month...barring anything crazy happening of course. Playing Helle tomorrow is a no brainer and I would play him in Buffalo with over 2 days between games. I'd also give him the Flames and the Habs at home and the 1st of a b2b with the Coyotes and Kings. There is not much room for error at all. If we are going to make the playoffs. We need to start getting wins. We'll get better when Myers comes back and I think making the playoffs this year will pay dividends in one or two years. No letting up, take it to the Panthers tomorrow night and let's start something this month. Everyone is more or less healthy once Myers is back. We are back to a regular NHL schedule. We had three lines tonight that were a pleasure to watch. If Armia starts putting them in, Laine better watch out. Oh ya, ESL had a lot of jump tonight and need to be a big part of the win again tomorrow!!!!!!!!

How does Stevie Y talk Kucerov into signing a 3 year 14.3m contract again???

No forwards over 20 minutes again. Wheeler was a beast. TB had trouble with Ehlers' speed tonight. If not for Helle, we are down by at least two coming out of the 1st. Trouba had a really strong game. I thought Scheif looked better than he has in awhile. Armia could have had 4 and Matthias and Lowry could have had two each. Excellent 2nd period. Sure hope Helle gets the start tomorrow night.

Game

Armia should have 4 goals tonight.

I'd like to see the 4th line more this period (providing things don't go awry) and remember we have another game tomorrow night.

I like the way they answered the TB goal and came back and put one in right away and didn't get down on themselves. Really good 2nd period, much better than the first. Helle didn't have to make near as many high % chances. Wheeler is flying out there tonight and I think they hit a home run when they picked him for the C.

Best 2nd period of the year???

Sieve

Yes the referee that was on the other side of the rink. The referee that was 6 feet away saw nothing wrong with it.

do they actually buy it and keep all proceeds?

I agree. I thought they were going to call a penalty shot 4 Army in the first.

HOOWAH Hahahahahaha

Penalty shot and he scores

Nice first goal

Laine robbed

Wheeler is a beast

it's probably his weakest point. I am surprised that he hasn't learned how to steer them better. It's a pretty important part that position. We are losing this game tonight without him though so far.

Say what you like about Comrie he is a better goalie than Hutch is right now.

It wouldn't surprise me if he is watching from the Press Box in Arizona soon.

How would I know you would have to ask him.

Down 3-1 without some big saves. Good in O zone...poor in D zone.

I am not a fan of all the borderline calls. Let the players play the game.

Is or can the tourney be bought by the people that want it? For example, Brandon, Winnipeg, Regina, etc... get together and say they will buy the event for x amount of dollars... similar what they did/do for the Grey Cup? Just wondering.
