There's A Game Today 10/17

[TSC]

Boston wants Auston v.5.

10pm start tonight in Arizona. Bruins win tonight, and that's called a winning streak.

Let's do it.

 

[The Napkin]

Marchand back tonight

so yeah.

Translated: "Marchand's back and the Kelly line scored 3 goals in Colorado so I don't want to break them up."

I see the reasoning but I also think Connolly's played well of late too. I would've put him on the 4th line and PP and scratched Randell or Shithead.

 

[Red Right Ankle]

Wtf

Scratching Shithead is always the answer. It boggles the mind.

 

[LogansDad]

Fuck

 

[cshea]

Clusterfuck.

 

[The Napkin]

Nice start

 

[cshea]

Waste of a challenge IMO. Vitale made contact but it didn't affect Rask's ability to make a save.

 

[LogansDad]

Bad challenge... wtf

 

[BoSoxFink]

Stupid challenge here

 

[The Napkin]

He trying to get interference on vitale there? Not sure what the challenge is

 

[cshea]

Totally interference on Vitale but the problem is the goal was like 2 seconds later and Rask was able to make the initial save.

 

[cshea]

Clode is 0-2. But the first one was a farce.

 

[The Napkin]

Maybe he was just using it as a de facto time out? No idea what he was thinkimg

 

[cshea]

Colin Miller's gonna be a good one.

 

[The Napkin]

Loui is never going to score again

And I really like what I've seen from Miller and I love his shot

 

[burstnbloom]

Connolly sitting is exactly why they should have either strongly committed to Claude or let him go.  Kelly goes onto the third line, they have a great game, so they have to keep that line together in his mind.  It doesn't matter that it really didn't have much to do with Kelly, but instead Hayes moving to his natural RW and getting shot out of a cannon.  Claude's self-preservation is directly in conflict with what should be the organizations long term goals.  It is infinitely more important that Connolly finds his game than it is for Kelly to play on a scoring line.  I have a feeling it's going to take a long long time before he comes off that line now.   

 

[TFP]

Colin Miller's gonna be a good one.

He's going to be really really good.

What a crap call to only take McQuaid.

Cross actually doesn't suck. Good for him.

 

[cshea]

Son of Tie has some hockey skills.

Tie is still an asshole though.

 

[Jordu]

Really, Tuukka? Really?

 

[cshea]

Good period. Goals will come.

 

[kenneycb]

So how has Domi been? Saw him in London last year and he ran the goalie three times. Super talented but the apple doesn't fall far.

 

[burstnbloom]

Holy hell, Loui is cursed. 

 

[The Napkin]

Loui's never going to score again

 

[Terras]

Vitale took a big shot at the end.

 

[The Napkin]

The hell are you thinking Vitale?

 

[burstnbloom]

Eesh, Vitale regrets that right now. 

 

[Scoops Bolling]

That was a helluva bout.

 

[burstnbloom]

PP1 continues to be a weapon.  Some of these chances have to start going in at some point, right? 

 

[kenneycb]

Fucking Christ Bergy

Filthy move on the D.

 

[cshea]

I hope this isn't "one of those games."

 

[kenneycb]

That no look outlet by Miller was beautiful.

 

[Terras]

RANDALL

 

[burstnbloom]

Tyler Randell for Art Ross? 

 

[kenneycb]

Boom

 

[cshea]

Randell! Scoring machine!

 

[Scoops Bolling]

That is...not how I expected the tying goal to come. But I'll take it!

 

[The Napkin]

Go randell

 

[cshea]

100% shooting percentage in the NHL

 

[kenneycb]

Even better it was a backhand snipe since the Coyotes feed was fellating Domi's backhand at intermission.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Beautiful back hand snipe.

 

[Nomar813]

Randell!

 

[The Napkin]

Tuuuuuuuuuuuk

 

[kenneycb]

Tuuuuuuuuukkka

 

[burstnbloom]

Trade Tuukka. 

 

[cshea]

I was told Rask doesn't make big saves a week ago.
