There's several NBA teams that have been fully vaccinated already. NHL, like NBA, is high risk because it's a contact sport indoors, in a small confined space.

vaccinate

The higher pace in practice has shown up in bits and spurts during games, but I think tonight they played as complete a game as we've seen start to finish all season. You play how you practice.

what was that coverage? they had 4 guys there and let Trouba walk right in? Looking at it again, Hall moves off the wall to the crease for the face off. He's the outside guy responsible for Trouba who lines up high and wide. The puck is dropped and everybody except Hall picks up their guy. Before the drop, Reinhart and Hall should verify with eachother who they have, it's basic hockey to sort it out before puck drop.... just too casual all around and it almost cost them. Smh

Hall again... smh

It helps when guys without the puck aren't just spectators.

Nobody drops it on purpose. Sometimes you just dont have a solid grip cuz you're in a battle or whatever and the stick might move around in your hand a bit, or you're just in the process of shifting your grip and it only takes a light slash to knock it loose. When it happens your natural reaction is to look at the ref and put your arms up to try and illicit a call, but they won't call it if the slash wasn't deemed aggresive enough, or therr was no scoring opportunity.

What did everyone expect to happen with that group out there? Reinhart, Olofsson, and Dahlin are a combind -74 in just 35 games... smh. They simply can't defend, always on the wrong side of the puck, can't win battles, cheat on plays, etc... I mean, it's kinda dumb to put them out there as a unit.

I agree with this. What's alarming about this is that Adams watches practices, he's around the team, he sees how RK is coaching these guys.... which begs the question, what took so long for KA to pull the trigger on firing Krueger? When Granato took over he knew exactly what they needed to do to get better. The fact that KA didn't recognize this sooner reflects poorly on him.

5 goals in the last two games offensive explosion

classic reinhart 🙄

Tonight is the night.

Last 10 games for Samson... 1g, 1a, -11, 18sog, 1 hit, 1 blocked shots Taylor Hall last 10 games... 0g, 2a, -8, 17sog, 5 hits, 2 blocked shots ...but Hall is hot garbage and Reinhart is a stud.

They should both still be in Roch. They're in over their heads right now and are on the verge of nervous breakdowns due to the losing and their role in it.. i fear permanent brain damage.

if only there was a guy who could win draws and contribute offense and not get traded for "losing his love of the game"

Hall is fools gold. The only time he's scored 30g was his MVP season. Only 3 times in his career has he eclipsed 60 points.

Classic Reinhart... completely invisible for stretches, contributes nothing anywhere on the ice, then has a two goal game where pucks bounce in off his stick and everybody wants to throw all kinds of money at him... smh

you can see flashes of the RK Sabres where everybody on the ice collectively stops skating, starts reaching for pucks, but they snap out of it quickly now. Kinda what u expect at this point, but it's encouraging nonetheless. Again, great job by Granato, he could easily have packed it in and gone through the motions with these guys, but he hasn't quit on them. Impressive considering the circumstances.

This trend of developing goalies then trading them needs to stop. He's gotten better every year, is competitive, and has all the qualities you want in a #1. Sign him.

this is fun well done coach granato

they need the next one

This sounds great. I'll believe it when I see it. I just don't see how TP and Rutherford co-exist tho... I could see Rutherford coming on board then quitting in a few weeks.
