What was that?

Thompson's in a slump that would have been a great 1 for him.

I hate when they have lapses like that.

Why are 4 players floating around?

Boom

We got this!

We need to take this since the Isles and Panthers lost today.

I have to admit, I really like that the refs are letting them play, it's a fun back and fourth game.

How is that not a penalty? If they aren't calling anything it better be a 2 way street.

Hopefully Anderson can steal this 1 for us, he's having himself a game.

Great he's -13 on the year now after that +1.

Yeah that was a real thing of beauty passed it 5 feet to Dahlin.

I'm still baffled how some say Middlestadt is getting better, this dude is clueless 98% of the time.

Just keep shooting, no backwards passes to ghosts!

We keep giving these turnovers we have no chance.

What are we realistically going to get for Anderson? A 4th? 5th?

I enjoy watching the skills competition, always like the fastest skater competition and the hardest slapshot where they hit the targets in each corner of the net but as far as the actual All star game I'm not sure the last time I've watched it, when was Pavel Bure last in the league? I think that was the last time.

I think some are trying to convince others that he is an improved player but my own eyeballs are telling me different. When I focus in on Casey Middlestadt this is what I see.... I see a guy coming into the oppositions zone, he either tries to make a pass or enters the zone himself, most of the time is either intercepted or taken away and the opposing team then goes back the other way and gets a scoring chance or some kind of a chance while he's gliding behind them. I've seen this just about every night with this guy and it's not just once it's 3-4 times a game. I gave him props a few games ago and I said "if he plays like this every night I'll be glad to be wrong about him". I want Casey to be successful because it's another player we don't have to replace and he has flashes of his skills and what he can be but then constantly has nights like I explained above. I have nothing to gain by wanting him to fail, I said the same exact things about Dahlin 2 years ago and I was totally wrong about that guy which I'm thrilled I was. I don't feel that I am with Middlestadt, I think he's a poor man's version of Drew Stafford without the hitting but I'd love to be wrong about him.

I don't recall saying it was dumb or useless, I can question something and still find it interesting at the same time. That's pretty much why i asked since we got Tuch, Krebs and Östlund in the deal which has worked out really well imo.-

Well like you said this is a sports forum so I'm sharing my thoughts here, if you don't like them, don't respond.

Middlestadt, Bryson and Asplund Middlestadt not only has about 3-4 turnovers a game, he's a glider and if I saw that vast improvements that some of you see I'd be all for keeping him but nothing I see from him warrants a roster spot at this time and imo. Bryson is too small and doesn't do anything well, doesn't play strong enough defense, has trouble getting the puck out of our own zone and doesn't have a good enough offensive game to warrant a spot anymore. I used to like Asplund's defensive game but I feel like this year he's almost been invisible, I barely notice him good or bad so obviously a guy like that could surely be replaced.

I wonder why we still talk about Eichel, we want to see a guy fail that bad because he left Buffalo? Very strange.

What an elite pass!
