Taro T

Right now he's making a case to be Noronnen. Which is significantly better than he was playing. You still want better, but it's good enough as the 2nd half of a platoon. Can he take it higher than that? We shall see.

Would put money on it that the goal hasn't become playoffs or bust THIS season. (Much to all our chagrin.)

"3 weeks ago we were ready to say he can't do it." - D Granato. 😯

He's shortened the bench quite a bit the last month when the game has been tight. But this is the 1st time in a while that he dropped to just 3 lines.

They're going to have another losing streak at some point. Just means they'll need a 2nd winning streak. Pretty sure they have that in them too.

Their top pair pretty much each played 1/2 of the last 3 games. This game they finally had ONE of the other 4 D-men that were in the lineup on opening night. BTW, they won all 3. Am OK w/ it given the circumstances.

Wouldn't go that far. He still had issues in his own end and setting up rushes against. But it was nice to see him get the VERY 2ndary assist on the 1st goal & the game winner. If Power is ready Friday it could be a while before he gets another opportunity.

Hoping they don't have the typical return from a road trip hangover. Having 3 days w/ no games should help. Normally it seems they have a single day off before starting the home stand. Could see Power back too, maybe?

Pilut w/ the game winner. No friggin' Schlitz.

Sweet!

Just wide. That clock stopped before the whistle.

They ticked it up to 56. Now 46.

Another icing. 55 left.

Knocked 7 more ticks off the clock.

131 seconds left.

Schlitz.

Less than 3 left. Do they pull Hill w/ the icing? Yep.

Has been since Vaggas scored.

Cover the bloody puck.

UPL!

Fack. Penalty shot.

UPL! Wow, his best game by FAR.

Seriously, the Vaggas fans are upset at Pilut knocking somebody down & DON'T suspect a dive? Pilut hasn't knocked anybody down at this level.

Outstanding again by Luukkonen!

So is Krebs benched or his he centering the other kids. Jost out w/ the captains this last shift.
