That's what happens when you sleep-walk through the first. Have to hand it to Boston for keeping the goonery under wraps.

I predict copious Boston goonery in the third.

Ugh. WTF.

Foot was in the crease and he knocked his stick away.

Now this game is getting good. Amazing how Florida can have so many lax first periods but never be out of a game.

Tomorrow's announcement from the Sabres: Girgensons receives a two year contract extension.

This is so transparently premeditated. Why didn't they all save us the time and announce Lindy's hiring, Appert's "promotion", and the retention of Ellis and Wilford the day they announced Meatballs was fired?

ERod and Okposo are significant contributors to offense and defense. So much that they may even re-sign Okposo, put him IR for the season, and activate him for the playoffs.

Just gonna drop this little ol' chart here...

There's going to be rioting in Boston if they lose this game.

What happened to playoff beards?

I think if Adams can move several of our existing prospects for a piece that helps now, he should keep the pick. Clearing out prospects who are on the cusp of moving to the NHL roster and refilling the pipeline with someone who is years away from the pros makes more sense. The only way trading the pick makes sense is if the return is a clear-cut improvement to the roster filling a dire need. If he can't do that, and, instead, makes a trade to look like he's doing something, but the return is just another player who looks good on paper but doesn't do anything for the roster (see Bo Byram), then Adams needs to be fired.

Okposo is prolly having the time of his life right now.

Neither team played with the fire I was expecting. Maybe Sunday's game will be better.

Okay, I missed that it was goaltender interference. I thought maybe there were more, off-setting penalties.

14:44 left in the third, shots are 28 to 9 Florida.

The replays on that penalty were horrible. There was no way to see what the penalty was over. Well, at least the fans are pacified.

Oh my, maybe we'll see the fans jump the Panthers.

Get ready for a violent third period.

I mean, it was ERod, no need to get excited over that save.

Nope, Dallas wasn't going to let it happen again.
