Down 2. Gott’em right where we want’em.

No. It wasn’t. I get that you don’t want to appear biased, but c’mon.

Phil is a drip.

Can you disconnect the nonworking valve from the furnace and leave it manually open? Then the thermostat form the other zone would be the only thing controlling the circulator pump.

Not to nitpick, but it was three last place finishes. ?

I don’t think either one is running for president.

None of those, but it would help you sleep.

Yep. I read the number wrong. Stupid work distracting me. Hmm, I thought Scandy was bigger than Beaulieu, and I don't know, but it definitely looked like a set play. You guys might be right (I really haven't made up my mind yet) maybe Phil is and idiot. Criticizing individual moves after a loss is just such low hanging fruit.

But he was playing the big netfront presence guy for most of it. So Erod and Beaulieu are out and Tage was also one of the gassed guys. That leaves Okposo. Meh.

Who should he have put out there?

FTR, I'm pretty high on Pilut. I just don't think Scandella is as bad as a lot of folk here. They play a different game.

So,... he has concussion symptoms? It would explain his play.

Again, I’m not just talking about hits. I’m talking about something that isn’t measured by a stat, physical puck battles along the boards in the defensive zone. Scandella is better than Pilut at them, imo. I didn’t change my tack. I think the outcome could have been worse in the BJs game had Pilut played over Scandy given the physical nature of the game. I think we could have lost by more had Pilut played last night for the same reason. You don’t have to agree. Doesn’t mean I’m wrong.

I know. It’s like you don’t even realize that hitting and physical play is a part of hockey.

You misunderstood. Pilut was -4 in the Van game. Maybe if Pilut played in the BJs game, his line would have been -4 not -1 like Scandella was.

Yep. Teams lose sometimes. I still think he played a decent game last night and looked better than what Pilut would have looked like. Just my opinion.

Yep. I thought +/- was a stat we weren’t supposed to use. But yes. Coulda been -4.

It was absolutely a part of it.

By playing Scandella instead of Pilut.

They won last night.

I want to hear LGR defend fancy over physical after this game. Dallas played playoff hockey. We played fluffy and lost because of it.

Jack with the puck,... on a 4 on 2,... and he makes a move at the blue line,... offside. Game was over on that play.

Then a shortie!!!

I’m more pissed at no retaliation.

Can I get an Amen?!
