lynxrattle Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 What a fun game the last one was. I expect VGK has done its homework and will have found ways of beating Talbot. Goalies steal games only now and then, so this might be a difficult game. I was pretty happy about our willingness to shoot in the last one. There was a 7 minute period in the second, where the players started passing too much, which was an instant disaster, but otherwise they seemed to be ready to keep it simple.

Alexandron Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I am hoping to see tonight a playoffs level game again. The last one was very attracting for me to watch. Both teams were able to place equal 37 shots on goal into opposite net. Probably, we will see Fleury in their net during the game this evening.

EmptyShelf Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Man Bit@h is back and we lose Zucchini. Not the type of Trade Off we need against Vegas. I wonder what line the whiner will be on? What about PP? I just can't wait to see him....on the Islanders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyShelf Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Fiala needs to start being a more accurate and consistent shooter. He is the definition of streaky, though we haven't seemed to figure out what type of player he needs to play with either..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of "I would like...." "When I played...." which he follows with a fake self-deprecating comment (that he doesn't mean, in a weak attempt to look humble). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyShelf Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Tuch on the Knights boils my blood....He was OURS (looking at you SUITS, Parise, and PomPom - what a bunch of self-important jacka$$es to not help the team there). He is very big and really fast. He has definitely developed into a very good winger (though not sure the Wild wouldn't have found a way to wreck him). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
