A must win game. They are 2nd on PP in NHL. We should stay out of penalty box. It seems Fiala is the best player there with 61 points already this season.  Better would be to neutralize him and Kopitar with Kempe too.

[IllaZilla]

Addison scratched again. Fourth game in a row. He must have really peed in Evason's Cherrios...

Given the comments from Russo and others, I'd say that's spot on.
Also sounds like he has a bit of an attitude too. 
Don't think it's showcasing Gogs anymore. 

Let's go big...Wild win 5-3
Switched from 5-4 to 5-3 with Gustav in net.

Fiala looks like he should be wielding a sword and wearing a black hat.

Meh....he probably turns his black hat over while being too fancy with his sword anyways.  

[IllaZilla]

[IllaZilla]

They’ll overturn it…

[ClusterChuck]

That was a tie.

[ClusterChuck]

I'm so tired of everything coming down to reviews and challenges.

[ClusterChuck]

Oh, And breathing too hard near a goalie. 

[IllaZilla]

Do not give up a goal now…
