This Morin guy ain't bad.

Dunno if I'm going to make it through the 3rd. I'm already falling asleep. This has been a good game so far though.

Blackhawks and Ducks love each other so much that they're helping each other pad their defensive stats and corsi.

 

[Merguson]

Leafs win?

You know what that means...

STYLE ON EM LEAFS-GAF!!!

 

[Acid08]

Quick and Rask should be best bros

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

We're playing the Canes tonight, I'm curious to see just how bad they (or we) are.

They're still the only team without a win

Enjoy McDavid or Eichel?

I don't know why, but I get a feeling the Sabres will end up with Eichel somehow...maybe the Canes will get McDavid? Whatever ownership they got would be ecstatic to get him and he could potentially reinvigorate the franchise.

Wanted to say this before...look at that fucker on the left not even react and the woman on the goddamn right not even paying attention....fucking jeez

 

[lamaroo]

How many times can you turn the puck over on one shift?

The team still hasn't arrived in Alberta.

Just waiting for something to happen over here.

 

[Xeteh]

Nice hands Talbot.

 

[Marvie_3]

This Morin guy ain't bad.

He got benched for several games but since he's been back in the lineup he's played really well. Would be nice if he could get more than 7 minutes a game though.

LOL WELL THAT WAS FAST

 

[speculawyer]

Sharks bringing out the physical game. Burns just checked a guy into the crossbar.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Randy Carlyle the only coach in Toronto Maple Leafs history to hold a team to 10 shots.

He can put that on his fucking resume out of here for all I care.

Talbot clearly heard the beard because he scared and missed the net.

They look like garbage.

Looks like that benchin' woke him up. Is he getting more ice time than usual this game?

Tomorrow will sign contract extension. To be coach through 2020

 

[Terrordactyl]

At work so I can't fully enjoy this game, things I've seen: 5-3 advantage, a 4-4, many other penalties, giordano sniping. Good game I'm sure.

 

[Red_Man]

Fuck Alberta.

 

[Acid08]

oh god please don't be hert too bad Hertl

Typical Habs game in Calgary so far.

 

[Marvie_3]

Looks like that benchin' woke him up. Is he getting more ice time than usual this game?

Not really. He hasn't even played that much, he's just been very noticeable when he has been on the ice.

 

[Calamari41]

oh god please don't be hert too bad Hertl

Are the Avs gooning your boys?

 

[Curufinwe]

lol Quick is mad

It;s your own fault bro.

And look at that, the Flyers are a better team without MacDonald in the lineup. Whoda thunk it?

Only if you ignore the fact the Flyers had their worst Corsi night of the season against Detroit. A team CF% at ES of 27%.

 

[Curufinwe]

Ah . . . well, I can see why he is upset but that is a bit over the top. He didn't really have control of the puck but then again, you can't just push the goalie into the net to score.

Watch an actual replay. Schenn barely touched him.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Ah, that's what it is.

Even Roszival was noticeable.

Uh.... he didn't lol

Montreal is one and done in Calgary's zone, and Calgary can seemingly manage possession for minutes at a time in Montreal's end.

Just stick somebody on the boards and Montreal can't use Therrien's one break out play by dumping the puck out off the boards.

Edit: finally a good shift.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Moen doesn't know what's going on.

Not watching the game, but is it jet lag? It's only a few hours difference though.

 

[jello44]

Yeah, yeah, they were dominated that game.

And MacDonald had the worst or second worst CF before his injury. (I can't remember)

Even still, you don't need advanced stats to know MacDonald is awful.

 

[speculawyer]

Watch an actual replay. Schenn barely touched him.

Uh.... he didn't lol

So he magically just started sliding backwards? Or the shot was so strong that the momentum from the puck pushed him in?

 

[jello44]

His momentum caused him to drift backwards with the puck following him.

Schenn did not touch him with enough force to even come to a conclusion that he pushed him with the puck in the net.

 

[Red_Man]

Habs PP is so fucking bad, I could legitimately draw up a better PP than this. It's embarrassing.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Gilberto!

edit: There's no jetlag when going west. Not much anyway.

 

[lamaroo]

Moen doesn't know what's going on.

:lol

Shouldn't be, not anymore.

Gilbert!

 

[Acid08]

lol what a horrible goal to give up

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Gibson. Gosh man.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Tangs!!!!!!!!

 

[speculawyer]

Avs redeem with a nice short-handed goal

 

[Xeteh]

Fuck yes Tanguay. If only they could play all aspects of the game like they do the PK.

 

[lamaroo]

The refs are all over the place tonight with these calls.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Woooooo, finally.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Canucks fans, you'll be happy to know that Kesler still consistantly gets booed when he's on the ice at the Madhouse.

 

[Curufinwe]

Yeah, yeah, they were dominated that game.

And MacDonald had the worst or second worst CF before his injury. (I can't remember)

Even still, you don't need advanced stats to know MacDonald is awful.

MacDonald got the hardest minutes with Coburn out. Now with both of them out some of those minutes are going to Grossmann, Schultz, LSchenn and Ghost and they are getting dominated.

Detroit 66 CF - Flyers 25 CF = 27%
Kings 65 CF - Flyers 60 CF = 48%

Grossmann - 31-43 = 41.9%
Schultz - 23-36 = 39%
LSchenn - 34-53 = 39%
Ghost - 16-28 = 36.4%

 

[Fata1moose]

Great goal by Tangs.

 

[Calamari41]

It's a shame someone is going to have to lose this game.

(It's the Hawks)

 

[Fata1moose]

Clear cut penalty can't complain there.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

It's a shame someone is going to have to lose this game.

(It's the Hawks)

Really hard to feel any negative emotion from this game. Two great teams, both playing excellently with very little interruption from the refs. No dirty business.

Ducks are ready to strike though.

 

[Acid08]

Varlamov is playing really well.
