Watching Franson try to catch Helm was pretty comical.

[darksabre]

O'Reilly with an uncharacteristic bad play along the boards. He needed to cycle that low. Detroit had too many guys high in the zone. 

[Doohickie]

That was a tire fire of a power play at the end.

[darksabre]

One goal down going into the 3rd. We've got Detroit right where we want them. Here comes overtime.

Not pretty, but...

You're talking about hockey, right?   ;)

I still hate Gionta on the powerplays. I would rather have Risto out there.

I saw nothing but sunshine and rainbows.

Saved by the buzzer there.

 

 

I'm really glad that the NHL decided to go this route to give us some entertaining hockey instead of trying to go back to that glorified skills competition that was '05-'07. I'm glad that we have a team that can play this way too.

Franson and Gionta were the point men at the moment that 2 on 0 developed. Something tells me that might not have happened with Risto+anyone else

Trying to start from a rollback in 3rd gear...

[Randall Flagg]

Like seriously, I don't mean to induce the "shiny toy" argument again but if we put McGinn AND Gionta AND Franson out again for the power play, so that they get basically the whole thing, after the break, I don't even know. That kind of player selection doesn't help us in this game or in the future. 

[darksabre]

Franson is fine on the power play. That's half the reason he was brought in.

The second unit I'm fine with. Risto plays the position better.

But does Gionta have to be on the point with him? I know they are playing an umbrella but jiminy Christmas

[Randall Flagg]

Well, I got 1/3 of what I wanted, and as I type McGinn does that and Gio runs into ROR

[darksabre]

But does Gionta have to be on the point with him? I know they are playing an umbrella but jiminy Christmas

No. I would love for Gionta to not be there. 

[Randall Flagg]

Kane, good stuff. Dude's on fire.

[Mustache of God]

KANER!

[WildCard]

Gionta skating right into ROR :D

 

 

Kane cashes it in though!!!

[darksabre]

Kane!

[Doohickie]

KANER!
