Well... yeah, me too. But this about @PASabreFan's initial comment which was about a single event. A goal of such skill/effort vs. a single fight.

So... fire Krueger tonight so the NBC game tomorrow with some interim coach actually has the skaters showing an effort?

With NBC the flex is to move the game to NBCSN or to just go to the Kentucky Derby pre-race 3 hours early.

It certainly doesn't have to be. It was a response to a comment on the joy of a goal like Barzal's vs. a fight.

Just keep him long enough to win the #1 pick in the lottery?

Oh good! Tomorrow's game against the Isles is nationally televised on NBC. The rest of the US can get in on this fun.

Yup. But he still should've been pulled in the second to let the skaters know their defensive effort was pathetic.

So... how do we respond after scoring a goal?

Beautiful deflection, Reino!

Hall-Staal-Cozens was starting to look decent, not great, but decent. Hall and Cozens join Eichel, and they've been invisible offensively. Yes, that includes the opening-shift goal which was a good forecheck, then a pass to the point and shot through a screen. Good job. Since then, nothing.

Are you doing the "NYI goal = 100 sit ups" "NYI shot = set of 20 squats" ?

Rebellions Playoffs Victories 1st period leads are built on hope.

NYI with 12 second-period goals all season; today 4 goals (and time remaining)

So... take a timeout, change the goalie, send a message before the end of the period? Anything?

If the refs continue to keep their whistles silent, we have no chance at a comeback, do we?

Geoff Sanderson, at Toronto 99 playoffs. Better highlight than any Ray fight.

No timeout. No goalie change. Ruff would've ripped his own mustache off back in the day in his attempt to chew them out.

I go back to another thread... I think if we offered Eichel for the Islanders 4th line (all 30+ years old), they'd turn us down. It'd be idiotic, they're seemingly easily replaced individually, but they're so good at what they do and they're the heart and soul of that team.

GM Sheevyn says: "Good. Gooooooood."

I don't think Eichel's line (whichever linemates he has) should come on the ice after we've given up a goal. The other team is excited and ready to pounce.

It should be pointed out, that is a hustle, heart, and skill play by Barzal. Something we've not seen combined on our team. And there is the flood gate.

Wow. Nice goal. Risto's gotta play the man stronger earlier, but got himself out of position and off balance.

I was going back to the Kane trade, where we got a 2019 or 2020 1st depending on whether Kane re-signed. But Hall is not having anywhere near the season Kane did, so a 2nd that becomes a 1st. I'm assuming trading to a contender so it's a late 1st anyway.

Yup. They're going to respond. It'll be a matter of seeing whether we elevate as well.

Wild announcement on the NYI broadcast after Pelech looks injured... They've dressed the same 6 defensemen in all 24 games this season.
