[shadow_operative2.0 16,261]

No more of that, kids. 

[Skipper 6,411]

Well fuck. Bad luck.  Let's focus.

[Firemans4Horn 18,528]

Why are we caught on a fucking 3 on 1 break? Good grief. 

[ztejas 44,228]

We got it. Kill clock. 

[NorthLoop 14,466]

I forgot we had some root beer in the fridge. Buttery nipple shots mixed with root beer is good stuff. 

[Firemans4Horn 18,528]

You can go a long way in the playoffs winning 65% of your face offs.

I mean on one hand we have this. 

On the other hand I have to be physically present at work at 8 am tomorrow and I'm going to continue to get fucked up over the course of the next 2 hours at least.

Your call, cowboy. 

I feel for you bro.... unless you make a lot more money than me then I guess it's worth the bullshit... or is it. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,261]

Sunday night, bros. 

[Skipper 6,411]

Great W.  See yall Sunday

[Firemans4Horn 18,528]

I have game 5 tickets. I needed this win tonight. 

[Etexhorn13 3,094]

Hmmmm yeah I took both of my 2 WFH days for the week having to take my 18 month old to the doctor/stay home and watch him, and while I love my son I’m kinda regretting all that now. Let’s fuckin go stars!

Another pointless night for Robo. One SOG. He was +1, though.

[markstanco 12,786]

Good times as usual

Unless this is a weird reverse jinx you gotta let this one go. I generally love your take on just about everything, but i can't abide this one. Let him figure it out. Too much pressure ruins players, at least those of Robo's nature. 

[Longhorn_Fan68 34,104]

And I'll add that it's complete bullshit that Johnston wasn't a finalist for the calder. A good part of me thinks that's OK because we will continue to fly under the radar. We'll see. 

[Zepol87 9,341]

What a fucking night!!! Just got home with some whataburger. The city is feeling it

Agreed on this. Insane he wasn’t a finalist.

I’m probably over-reacting and being too critical, simply because I noticed it last year vs Calgary and it’s showing up again this year. History is littered with guys who light the lamp with regularity in the regular season but can’t replicate that effectiveness when things get greasy in the playoffs. I’m not seeing much evidence to the contrary with Robertson, who doesn’t even seem to be able to get off a shot of late. Again, maybe he’s battling injury.

This is a special, special team if Robertson can join in on the fun.

Bissonette and McHugh were complimenting the AAC crowd last night in the post-game. We’ve not always had those accolades at AAC so good on last night’s crowd.

What former player is the best comparable for Wyatt Johnson's career potential?

Anyone want to take a stab at that?

Hockey boys on the Ticket brought up Jamie Langenbrunner yesterday, and honestly it made sense.

[Fudbelty 2,810]

This is our year. Pavs = Nieuwendyk. Wyatt = Langenbrunner.

Jamie lived with Nieuwendyk during his call up in ‘99 and ‘00 season.


Also, fuck trying to spell Nieuwendyk after not seeing the name for 20 years.

[Pato del Muerto 53,479]

Newy 

[Scary Stranger 1,725]

Newy 

Scruggs?

Langenbrunner was 34 years old before he put up more goals in a season than WJ did this year.

Congrats on missing his GM career.  I envy you.

[C-Man 27,779]

Interesting stat from Josh Bogorad on The Ticket just now. Otter is 21-3 following a loss this season.

I think Wyatt will score more than Langenbrunner, whose career-high was 29 goals (albeit a different era). Plus, Jamie was a winger.

[markstanco 12,786]

I’m upset with Suter because he played well and I can’t dogshit all over him for playing bad.

Edit: we got there at the 8ish minute mark of warmups. Wedge was in goal and Jake was nowhere to be seen. Talk about losing your shit. He was in the tunnel and guessing equipment issue or similar.

[vtaenz 603]

Harley has been a pleasant surprise on the blue line. He looks decisive and seems to make smart decisions with the puck.
Maybe he can replace what we lost with Johns.

I was thinking Doug Gilmour, but that's probably getting carried away.

yeah, I'm glad we let him marinate in the ahl this season. Texas seems no worse for wear so our gain. 

is Lundqvist a lost project or saving him for next season? only "bad" pickup Nill has made recently, and remains to be seen whether there is redemption. I hope he's not another Kevin (Honka)

They should start it on a different tv channel FTR

It will be on truTV since NBA is on TNT.

LFG.

[Firemans4Horn 18,528]

Our face off game is strong to quite strong. 

[Firemans4Horn 18,528]

Domi with an awesome shift there. 

[Firemans4Horn 18,528]

Weird flex but I think the refs this series have been damn near perfect. 

[Zepol87 9,341]

Way better than the last series

[Firemans4Horn 18,528]

Domi and Marchment skating really well early on. 

 

our 4th line couldn’t score a 3 on 1 on prom night. 

[C-Man 27,779]

Borderline hit from Oleksiak there on Faksa

[C-Man 27,779]

Seems like the Faksa line has been out there a bunch in the first period

[Firemans4Horn 18,528]

Where’s our top line? Haven’t seen Hintz or a Robbo on the ice much at all. 
 

otter is locked in.
