***** Florida blew the lead with under 10 seconds

God if only we were a bit closer, we are getting that late season surge with absurd goaltending

Typically it’s the opposite due to playoff races

That was a penalty but Kulich’s was hooked like three times as he went down the ice with no call. Plus I felt like the crowd convinced the ref more than anything

4v4

Seriously this is how you want to respond? You're going to grab a bunch of old quotes and ask the same thing? As for the Lehner thing, I was genuinely concerned about his mental health and was curious about how everyone else saw it. Honestly, why would anyone on this board want to hear about Eichel having success anywhere else? It's like getting a constant reminder of your ex and how their doing; I, and many others here, don't give a flying ***** Eichel is doing anything good. You perpetual insistence on bringing Eichel up at every turn is nothing short of obsessive; he wasn't even mentioned on this thread for quite some time and yet you always feel the need to re-insert him into the conversation like some mustache twirling villain with a vendetta against the rest of the forum. If you need to lather praise on Eichel so bad, go find a VGK forum and do it there. If this was merely to talk about future Selke hopefuls then Barkov & Eichel shouldn't have been the lone mentioned players but we all know you just like to stick our faces in the mud anytime you can in regards to Eichel.

And we need this info why exactly?

There are plenty of people who get annoyed by his or Thompson’s more generic answers.

He’s said that 10 million times already.

Frankly I don’t know what he’s supposed to say without it being ridiculed.

Oh I agree; I was merely saying that if there's one what-if that holds water its regarding Dahlin.

The one what-if I'll give credence to is the Dahlin one. If Dahlin doesn't reaggravate his back spasms we likely win that first game against Colorado and don't go on a 13 game losing streak. Even just flipping 4 games and making it 4-6-3 instead of 0-10-3 would put us 1 back of the 2WC. Frankly though the whole conference is rather sad seeing as the WC2 in the West has 10 more points than the WC2 in the East. Its also an indictment on the roster for having 1 player be such a lynchpin to wins versus losses

Only reason they kep the puck in the zone, guy full stick on skate Bernard-Docker to the ice and the ref just looked at it and said “nah”

BS, no trip call behind the net

If Östlund can keep up this growth in Rochester and Krebs becomes a steady 4th liner, thanks to Tuch; had Vegas not won the Cup we would of won the Eichel trade.

I miss Foligno, watching the Wild Devils game, he’s an A there and just fought a dude and pumped up the crowd.

UPL….. you have to stop something

Effectively this is the first full generation of the post-radio only broadcast style. RJ, Cole, Foley, Doc Emeric, among many others were either Radio-announcers or were direct protégés to them and modeled their calls to a degree off them. Most announcers nowadays have zero radio-only experience or if they do were meant purely as secondary broadcasts. The artistry of radio announcing going to TV was a very lucky combination of radio going way to TVs and teams keeping their announcers.

That also is partially due to the old guard all retiring practically. Most new age announcers aren’t truly play by play guys but more or less narrators who occasionally trail off on tangents.

I know people hate Dunleavy but I have no issue with him on TV. He’s not great but not terrible. When radio only though he’s really bad; I can’t follow anything when on the radio. Part of this truly is being spoiled by most the team’s history broadcast history being done by legends

What exactly happened to Mitts, he seemed to be trending up through our trade and into this season and then he aggressively dove back to being a complete liability

Frankly that game was about as fixed as you could get if you remember the absurdity of some of the calls/non-calls that went down. Plus all of those milestones by Crosby and Malkin being hit on national TV seemed too good to be purely a case of the Pens being better.

I was meaning when he was dealt to Ottawa

Great win even if it was practically a mission impossible for us. That being said, this most certainly will gut the Sens and all their annoying fans in the rink. (Cozens wasn’t booed, the Go Sens Go chant was) 1st Period: nigh domination by the Senators in possession and get a PP goal through the first 17min. Sabres flurry in the final 3 and tie it. 2nd Period: nigh domination by the Senators in possession and get a PP goal through the first 15min. Sabres flurry in the final 5 and tie it again. 3rd Period: We jump out with a few good shifts and take the lead. Then the remainder of the game was a knock out drag out mess of uncalled penalties and Ottawa desperately trying to tie. Benard-Docker might be pretty good; but I’ll still place him as a bottom pair guy for now. Benson and Kozak had their motors running tonight Tage showed far better than the WPG game. Dahlin, couple dirtier hits and a solid overall game. He’s just fun to watch Old man Reims rolled back the clock two in a row

Pretty much, gotta help their playoff race
