1/15 NSH: Don't Be A Duchene

[The Napkin]

nice little win there. I was just in the middle of starting to complain about a generous change negating a 3 on 2 when they scored.

Fantastic game. Just an old fashioned, hard hitting, well played game -- the bonus being that we won. The number of posts hit on both sides was unreal.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

What a rush by Jake prior to the goal.

He also had a killer shift in the third after the Preds tied it. I'm really hoping that they keep him and he can start stringing some 20+ goal seasons together.

Saros is typically a fantastic goaltender -- thought he had a down game today.

Starting to creep up the standings. Still in 2nd WC but basically 99% lock to make it. 1 point behind the Penguins for WC1, 3 points behind the Leafs for 3rd in the Atlantic.

Put this entire league on notice. This B's squad is something else now. Enjoy the next two days off and let's do it again on Tuesday.

The line shuffle during the pause has given this team chemistry. Also, Urho.

I thought he did fairly well all things considered. The Bruins had 2.4 expected goals in 5v5 play and Saros only allowed 2.

I thought he gave up too many rebounds and seemed to fight the puck a lot. Just seemed a little erratic.

Will someone please explain to me the value in securing a non-wc playoff position vs a wc? Other than the higher up you go, the more secure your playoff ticket…, but with how loaded the East is, does seeding really make a difference this year?

No I don’t think so. The first wild card might be the place to be to kick over to the Metro.
