%^$@ you, Kadri...
No, seriously.....

[EmptyShelf]

Anderson's was a mite attempt....Good Lord

[bbgarnett]

come on Boldy!!!!!!!!!!

[EmptyShelf]

I think the offensive awkwardness of Gaudreau helps him.  Too bad it doesn't work 'in game.'

[bbgarnett]

dammit

[EmptyShelf]

WTF!?!

[ClusterChuck]

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Sutter' main man, Stromboli, wins it.
Tyler's getting top six minutes rest of the season now...

[Jimtown guy]

And I had a sweet babe lined up after we thought Spurgeon won it 

[EmptyShelf]

Bus deserved that.  C'mon goal scorers!!!!

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Disappointing end to 65 minutes of defensive pain.

It's almost like, the other goalie doesn't believe he actually is gonna score  

[ClusterChuck]

Zucc has looked like crap on his SO attempts the last 4+ 
Switch it up with Kap or replace him.
(not with Boldy either)

if they would learn to score on the powerplay ..they wouldn't have to go through o.t and the shoot out crap

Hopefully they are getting the can’t score on powerplay now out of the way before playoffs. It was clicking pretty good before this slump on it

They have a player that does pretty good on the power play in Addison, but Evason doesn't like him so his sits in the press box while the rest of the team flounders around on the power play making all these extra passes and perimeter shots...

It's more of the lack of scoring in general that concerns me. But as we saw on multiple PP's, Trying to force plays and barely shoot is what's driving me nuts.
We've scored 4 once and 3, 3 times since Feb 1st. Yes, We're winning but that's a lot of pressure on our goalies when we can only get 1-2 goals at best most of the time.

Last I looked there's still humans playing the game. While I'm all in favor of technology, The game is being ruined by all these reviews and challenges. 
Imo, The only video review should be on if a puck crosses the goal line. That's it.
No 14 camera angles if a player's breezer string nicked the goalie. There's enough linesmen to make a call be it offsides or whatever.
If they blow a call so what?? It's how they saw it and made the call. It all evens out throughout the season anyhow.

That off sides call was so subjective, at what point did Spurgeon not have control of that puck?

Does control now mean it needs to be on his stick?

That was as stupid as nfl receivers having “ control “ on a reception.

They should not remove Addison from PP line1 on placing Klingberg there. They should not remove Steel from the team. He played an outstanding game in a previous game against Calgary. When both players are in game then we have got more offense and production. Anyway it was a very dramatic an absolutely sad loss of 2 valuable points for the team.

Agree. It was absolutely subjective.
