He's digging his grave.

Yeah, but I couldn’t,” Bowness shrugged. “When we left here this morning, he was playing. So, I can’t do anything about that. I get here at 4 o’clock, they’re telling me, these guys are in now. Changed everything. This morning, Riley was playing. I can’t do anything about that.”

 

 

This is a clear deflection of blame from Bowness’ part, and it’s not even a good one. This isn’t like the goaltending situation, where he has repeatedly told reporters he tends to defer to goaltending coach Jeff Reese. It’s not as if the team’s trainers told him Tufte was unfit to play or COVID-19 protocols forced him out of the lineup.

At the end of the day, it was Bowness’ decision to take Tufte out of the lineup. It was his choice to rip away a feel-good story from the team’s young rookie at the last minute. He could have spoken with Tufte ahead of time, telling him there was a chance he might not play even though that was the current plan. But he didn’t, and then he refused to own up to it.

Clearly I wasn't kidding. Up 2-1 after 2. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15989]

We’re the big winners. 

Otter wants that fucking job. 

[Bill Brasky 1449]

they actually played like they cared tonight 

[Firemans4Horn 18082]

Nice win tonight

[Mileslong 4727]

Loved after the second raffl - Hintz short handed goals, describing the pass between the two, Razor yells “architect - tradesman!”

If we could do that we might win a shootout now and again

[Longhorn_Fan68 33873]

Good period. Two more of those, please

[crum 525]

essentially 3/3 on the play. very nice

[Pato del Muerto 52508]

Damn he was gone

[shadow_operative2.0 15989]

4 out of 5, bros.

[C-Man 27230]

We’re the big winners. 
Otter wants that fucking job. 

Oettinger was a much better goaltender than Khudobin last season. Nothing has changed. He should get the majority of starts.

[Bill Brasky 1449]

[Longhorn_Fan68 33873]

since the players-only meeting after the NSH game, we're 4/5 (as s_o2.0 points out above), winning by an average of 4-2.6 (4.5-1.5 in the 4 wins). In the prior 12 games we were averaging only 1.83gpg vs giving up 3.25gpg. Keep it, continue

[Longhorn_Fan68 33873]

also pretty crazy that we held the best player on the planet without a point and ended his 17-game point streak. that's the Dallas Stars we were hoping for. let's hope they retain it

[shadow_operative2.0 15989]

 

 

[crum 525]

feels like a big game tonight. 2 games in hand on st louis, wpg, and nsh and 3-4 back of all. keeps the 5 teams in a cluster for the last 3 spots

[crum 525]

heck of a start in what feels like a massive game

[Zepol87 9188]

Damn just started watching. What a start

[Zepol87 9188]

Another

[shadow_operative2.0 15989]

Gurianov PP, bitches. 

[Longhorn_Fan68 33873]

Finally. We've been sniffing of the pp all game. Just needed them to stack them up

Hope otter is OK

[Longhorn_Fan68 33873]

 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15989]

They got one back, but only 3+ left to worry about. 

[cactusflinthead 27601]

I like this Otter kid

[shadow_operative2.0 15989]

Give us all the pts! 

[Bill Brasky 1449]

Stars win!!!!!

[Pato del Muerto 52508]

Is there something weird about the lighting tonight?  Looks odd on my tv but the graphics all look normal so it’s not the tv. All the white of the ice and the stars sweaters has a blue tint. 

[Bill Brasky 1449]

I'm not sure what Michelle McMahon's dress is made of, but it looks like wife material to me 

[Pato del Muerto 52508]

Sekera put that right on his tape a foot from the goal.

[Longhorn_Fan68 33873]

some big milestones tonight:

 

[markstanco 12577]

Bally sports is the worst app ever.

The end.

[shadow_operative2.0 15989]

Early lead bros, but down a man now. 

[cactusflinthead 27601]

This game is why me like hockey

[cactusflinthead 27601]

Peterson should have shot it when he had the chance early. Seguin was trying to set him up. He deferred to the veteran. Take the shot big Swede kid.

Miro did not have a great period. He is mortal.

40 more minutes.

Has anyone else checked out Razor's Podman Rush?

 

 

[Pato del Muerto 52508]

Very exciting period for one goal scored. Refs owe us a couple.
