wow how do you miss that Reaves

Enforcers have a history of missing the easy 'lay up' goals.  Reaves was never mistaken for a goal scorer (walking around his back hand )

[Tomdog]

I thought they were going to get that one. 

[bbgarnett]

Krueger X2!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not johny with the eng

Zucc botched that play, which is not typical for him.  Too much opportunity. 

 

Good Lord, PUDreau has a two goal game - not like he doesn't get the opportunities by Dean

[EmptyShelf]

I really like the development from Gustavsson.  He looks like he could really be a long-term solution in net (with Wallstedt) - great pick up.

Zucc could've shot it around the blue line but had to go to the Go-To pass play.
This must kill you when Fred scores.

Maybe they should tell Krueger to not shoot unless he is 20+ feet out?  Otherwise, he grips the stick like his life depends upon it and gets the yips.

He's seeing his opportunity to show he could be G-1 in the near future.

I wouldn't care so much if Evason would quit acting like he is a top 1 or 2 Center - he is NOT.  He also gives him an overabundance of chances with an EN (or in shootout), while demoting other players (Hartman) or sending them down for a similar lack of goal scoring performances (see any IA player).  I just HATE nepotism for some, and not for others - creates another Country Club and resentment in the locker room

[Jimtown guy]

Here ya boys 

 

 

[ClusterChuck]

We took the Green and Gold to heart tonight. Got up 2-0 and seemed to go into Protect Mode ala LeMaire.
Solid support for Gustav by the D. They always seem to play that way for him. 

[ClusterChuck]

If you look at it long enough, You can see the W  for Wild or win.
Go ahead, Try it.

Some unfortunate things would have to happen before Fred gets back to L1. So I think you're safe.

That was Nasty...but shoulder hit head first.

 

 

 

Looked to me like the head was principle point of contact....

I think he already is a number 1 goalie as of now. I think the guys in front of him trust him more than Fleury just for the fact he pretty much stays in his net and doesn’t flop around and wander from the crease like Fleury. I really think they should split starts instead of the 75/25 like it is now

Agreed.
As per Evason, It seems to revolve around Fleury when he gets starts so MAF is fresh at the end of season.
A 50-50 would be perfect and it worked last season with Talbot and MAF until they ran with Fleury and it screwed it all up.

He may have hit him in the head because his head was down. It’s not like he left his feet to go up and get his head. 

[Tomdog]

Agreed on the 50-50 split at least until 1 shows he deserves more and the other shows he deserves less.

Up for debate....

 

 

[Brewin Flames]

Looks like reaves glided, never left his feet...but POP was def head.

[Math]

Tough call on that one. It's still Reaves being Reaves but if there's a suspension it won't go more than one game.

To me it was a legal hit. Not sure what else Reaves could of done other than not hit him at all

Exactly. I guess some people want the game to turn into basketball.
