UPL confirmed starter. Oh boy.

Wake me up, I’m dreaming.

If they waive Ellis, surely he will get picked up by another team. I’d keep three goalies. If UPL looks poor, sit him. Try and move him. Difficult.

Dahlin could have a difficult year with all that’s going on with his girl. Tage? He needs to get going and fast. Talked prior to season about feeling great and taking his game further. Didn’t think he meant further, back.

Good to see some team toughness.

I actually thought he was a scratch.

I’m starting to get to the maybe it’s time to move Power. He’s just so soft.

So Benson is still the refs whipping boy? How is sliding to block a shot/pass a trip? If only he got those calls.

That is a bad goal, team wise. An inch from the line. Krebs terrible whiff.

Tage looks slow out there.

For such a historic franchise, you’d think their fans would “seem” more knowledgeable. They ohhhhhh on a dump in for goodness sakes.

What’s incredible to me is the refs didn’t deem it unsportsmanlike.

Benson. He’s so tenacious and sound in his own end. Also goes to the greasy areas. I love the kid. But Doan is such a likeable player and I prefer him to JJ. He’s interested, works hard as well and isn’t a soft perimeter player. Also, I like when a guy “seems” happy when he scores. JJ never seems to care too much.

And I have to ask. How is Marchand not given another 2’ unsportsmanlike when he told Dahlin’s talent and tore it apart? Or a 10’? This is where NHL refs come j to question and people start up the Panthers getting preferential treatment. Such an automatic extra penalty.

Have to take this effort and bottle it. Have to realize that if they play like this, they will have a chance. 60’ efforts are rare but today was certainly one.

Dare I say Sammy was incredible today?

I am in awe of this team effort. Wow.

Amazing league where the bullies get 4 pp in one period. Maybe 2 were legit. It’s ridiculous. Did Marchand not break his stick slashing our guy?

That is a terrible call.

Detroit is 3-1 and tied for first. Wish we were that crappy. Montreal also 3-1. Ottawa 1-3 last place.

Doan was good last night but he did cough the puck up cheaply in his own zone twice in the 3rd. Have to clean that up for sure. But he’s a player and seemingly well liked. Hopefully this kickstarts their season.

Benson has been just fine, totally disagree with previous post about him.

Krebs is built for these types of games, does all the right things.

Kulich-3 Tage -3 Dahlin 2pts, -2 7 goals despite Tage playing horribly.

Huge 3 minutes remaining.
