Beyond awful play by Savard to stand there holding that puck. Unbelievable.

[cshea]

Lots of running around in the defensive end. Settle down boys.

[headly]

I was going to say something about Savard being invisible so far in this game in my last post. Not a good way to make your presence felt for the first time in a young season.

[FL4WL3SS]

How they are only down by 1 is beyond me. What a sloppy mess this game is so far. I'm not impressed.

[JulE6]

very frantic play thus far in the defensive zone, little unorganized

Chara = NHL MVP so far

Savard tip.

edit: Way to see that coming Chuck, big hit.

kobasew just faceplanted someone in the boards

[PedroSpecialK]

This Wheeler-Krejci-Kobasew unit has been absolutely exceptional.

[The Napkin]

Avs just had about 7 skaters on the ice

if i'm a colorado fan, i'm not too excited if i have to rely on this goalie all season, he's shown nothing

[SoxScout]

Julien needs to call a TO and just punch every defensive player in the face

[cshea]

Wideman with a nice play on Ryan Smyth who was flying in with lots of speed.

[JulE6]

savard has got to finish that

[VaritekStays]

Hope Lucic took a number (Jones) on that hit--get him later Milan!

[SoxScout]

great, lets make this game longer

[Dropkick Izzy]

Ward "ices" it.

Edit: whoops.

Luckily for them they have this guy to be excited about if he screws up:

[cshea]

If this was on NESN, Jack Edwards would be doing a full commentary on the bull gang's job replacing the glass, and trashing them compared to The Garden's crew.

Edit: How much time's left in the period that we're gonna tack on before the 3rd? Is it really that big of a deal to do it this way, usually it is like a 5 minute stoppage to replace a pane of glass.

[SoxScout]

wow, i didnt know they could do this

[FL4WL3SS]

Loving the sturm-berg-kess line, loving the wheeler-krejci-kobesew line... fuck axe on the first line. I hate it, I hate it and I hate it. The 4th line has some nice intrigue to it as well, been enjoying watching them throw some shit around.

[headly]

Wait... they are "finished" with the second and are going to add the time onto the third? Is this coming from the NHL to speed the game up or from VS so the can get back to their regularly scheduled programming ASAP. Doesn't seem like there was a hockey related issue to start the game 20 minutes late, and now they are changing the time definition of a period? Does anyone else have a problem with this? What if it goes to OT, will VS order them to just go straight to the shootout?

I don't know why but this just doesn't sit well with me

It's not Axe, imo - Savard and Ryder really aren't clicking. I'd love to see Wheeler and Ryder flipped (Kobasew on LW 3rd line, Wheeler on RW 1st line) for the last period - that'd be a pretty balanced attack.

That was my first thought as well. Top 10 signs you watch a lot of hockey...

Ideally I would like to see Lucic put on that line, Axelsson traded and Nokie on the 4th line.

[PedroSpecialK]

I actually like - speeds the game up and doesn't give either side a competitive advantage. At 2:47 of the 3rd they'll blow the whistle and switch sides.

[PedroSpecialK]

Hmm... I take it you haven't seen my Axelsson thread?

Just responded. :]

[cshea]

Colorado is skating circles around our defense.

Edit: The "intermission" comes at a good time, giving the PK a breather.

[FL4WL3SS]

Where's SJH tonight? Past his bedtime?

[ThreeIfBaerga]

Only 12 shots for the B's through 2 periods. As opposed to 30 from the Avs.

I feel like they've gotten more opportunities than this but, still, they really need to step it up in the 3rd.

Great to be watching a regular season game again.

[cshea]

I like the pace of the 3rd period to this point. Much more under control.

[headly]

RYDER!

Welcome to Boston!

[SoxScout]

easy.... ryder

[cshea]

Ryder!

Hell of a feed by Savard on that.

Edited by cshea, 09 October 2008 - 11:19 PM.

[Dollar]

Wow, that was an amazing pass by Savard.

RYDER!

[NYCSox]

Red Hot Ryder!

Sweet pass by Savvy.

[PedroSpecialK]

Beautiful stuff.

edit: Axe's dump

Edited by PedroSpecialK, 09 October 2008 - 11:19 PM.

[The Napkin]

...and that is why I would not have reacted rationally if Savard had been traded.

[ThreeIfBaerga]

90% of players in Savard's position would have slapped that puck out as hard as they could. Even at full speed, he still managed to just lightly feather it out for a perfect feed to Ryder.

[SoxScout]

way to control the rebound

[PedroSpecialK]

What a horrendous rebound. Thomas has been pretty awful.

[BoSoxFink]

I am not liking the defense in this game. They have to shore it up. Even though we have 4 goals we only have like 17 shots

Not the best game they have played i would say

Edited by BoSoxFink, 09 October 2008 - 11:30 PM.

[The Napkin]

does joe get a nickel every time he says "on versus"? good grief. every other minute

[selwonk]

I get a little worried every time the Stuart-Hnidy pairing gets on the ice...they have ZERO mobility and they seem to have trouble breaking it outta the d-zone.

[SoxScout]

if we give up a goal with less than a minute to go someone is going to die
