Risto is Tyler Myers without the injury bug. Trade him if you want, or keep him around because he'll have years where he's hot. But he'll also have years where all he's doing is eating minutes.

Yup. But he is hurting us on the ice. I wanted him to be good for us here but he's just Matty Mo Redux. It's too bad. Maybe some changes to the roster over the summer will breathe some life back into him.

I think there are players on this team who care. We've been seeing good efforts from guys like Eichel and O'Reilly and Okposo. Girgensons had a good game last night. So did Reinhart. It just doesn't matter much. Effort isn't enough. They just flat out lack the talent and/or chemistry to score. And even when they have good nights like last night (3 against Anaheim isn't too shabby) they still just lack that talent/chemistry to close things out. How many times has Risto tipped a shot past Lehner this season? I've witnessed 2 in the last 2 weeks. That's a killer. Should he be trying to get a stick on it or letting Lehner take the shot? Who even knows. There's no cohesive style, no chemistry. None of these guys knows what the other is doing. Or what the other wants them to do. I think this team should be better than it is. But I'm wrong in thinking that because they're bad when it comes to the single most important thing, which is playing hockey well as a team. They sucked at it under Bylsma and they still suck at it now. Botterill is going to have to move more guys and hope that shuffling the deck some more gives a better result. That's all he can do. These pieces, as assembled, do not work.

You need to stop caring about what Phil says in pressers. None of it matters.

Is this a hint?

He's the complete opposite of Ullmark, who is so damn likeable.

He won't be, don't worry.

Barf

They finally figured out that just feeding Risto for arbitrary slappers isn't really a viable game plan.

Good grief

That was a helluva zone sequence.

Falked that shot up

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!

Reinhart doing the little things.

JACKER!

If opposing players take separate penalties why was the faceoff in the Anaheim zone? Shouldn't it have been center ice?

I miss Millsy

We're a long way from Estes boosters.

For real?

100% would watch

It's a very PUSA kinda day.

I want a Lando movie so bad. That's a great expanded universe story right there.

I don't believe anyone about Casey Nelson.

I can't remember the last time I actually watched a whole super bowl. This one was good. I didn't realize it was Philly's first. That's cool.

He's a good kid. I hope he makes it to the pros.
