He wasn't benched last game, it was Bournival and White.
Benched, not scratched. Therrien benched him in the third after his penalty where he hit the player from behind, didn't play a shift after. Therrien said he expected him to bounce back this game, and he did.He wasn't benched last game, it was Bournival and White.
He was benched in the third I think.
Edit: Has Bournival been out in the third yet?
Oh, and Jets-GAF wtf is up with Noel not putting Jokinen out there at the end? Did Noel drop a grand in Vegas on a "no Jet gets a hat trick first five years team is in Winnipeg" prop bet? Because if so, good job Claude.

You sure know how to treat a lady.
Always love the post game comments from the players ".500 hockey isn't good enough"
No shit.
In the Metropolitan, it's good enough to make the playoffs.
Put that First Star on his resume and ship him out.
Eat shit Brodeur!
Subban and Price for Sochi.
DD has returned but for how long?
8-1-2 in the last 11
Still can't picture many (any?) teams wanting him.
Nah, it still was Cole. Patches will produce with any great center, DD only picked up his play once Gally was put on his line who plays the same style of game as Cole, expect he's half the size. It's no coincidence that line started finding success once Gally was put on it. Just like any other line he's put on.There is no point in trading DD while we still have Pac, period. We're not going to get a miracle trading him. It wasn't Cole who was needed in the trio two years ago after all, it was DD.
He lost his game, but DD needs someone who plays that style for him to be successful. He's the playmaker, Patches is the sniper, and they need a grinder type player that can get down in the zone and create space for them.
David Booth can't grind, because that kind of dancing will obviously lead to very, very sinful acts.
Please take him off our hands anyway.
I'm at a High on Fire concert and have only been able to check up on the boxscore. Somehow, this does not surprise me.Oh, and Jets-GAF wtf is up with Noel not putting Jokinen out there at the end?

I seem to remember Olli ripping us up last season too. In fact this game felt a lot like what I remembered of our games against the Jets last year.I noticed that too. At least Wheeler got a goal, EN or not, I hope he can wake up and produce like he is capable of. I was pretty happy for Albert in his first NHL game to score a goal. Thorburn on the 2nd line and getting multiple points? Peluso playing in the same game as Thorburn too? Jokinen being an offensive threat? This game was madness!
Aside from the garbage effort last Friday, this road trip has been decent. I've been saying that if the team lost all or the majority of the games on this trip, Noel would be done. Thankfully, they've played better overall as the season has progressed. Looking forward to the 2 upcoming Florida and Tampa games. Did I mention how happy I am to have Trouba back? He looks so solid out there for a rookie.
I fucking hate playing this team in LA.
