2-0!!

You were saying??

Had the feeling it’d be a couple slop goals.....thems the breaks. It’s the intermission reports fault anyway. I think it was about 48 mentions of the the Blues shut out streak and running banner of the shut out streak stats that did them in.  :lol

And I'll take 1 point.  O'Reilley saves a tap in goal, then a perfect shot to win. 3-2-1 on that 6 game roadshow. One loss was weak (AZ), and one was stolen by a hot goalie (NYR).

Do me a favour though ... lay a beating on Boston, will ya?

It's one thing to call the dinky little hook or slash.....it's another to call those then 'miss' the totally obvious ones.

So, word is Duchene is scratched until Monday.  Hint hint... until the trade deadline (or until traded).

Makes sense for Duchene to sit. No way would he want to sign a contract in Ottawa when he could probably sign just about anywhere.  The Sens are almost the same size dumpster fire as are the Oilers, so I'm hard pressed to think any high calibre free agent will want to sign there.  At least we have McD here. Ottawa has shit for a roster and an owner fueding with the city and his partners. Definitely traded before the 25th

Charlie Coyle to the Bruins.


This better not be the only move.
Coyle has potential, but a change of scenery will probably take him to the next level. It happened to Nino Neiderreiter when he left a few months ago. Minnesota has just been hilarious to watch these past few weeks. They've been getting booed off the ice for the past few home games, every period. When they ask the players about it, they actually get mad at the fans. I think it was Jason Zucker that said that he felt it was unnecessary and definitely isn't helping them. There's a disconnect with them, so Coyle will probably elevate his game to the next level with a positive environment.

As for Duchene, as long as the Sens can find a way to sign Mark Stone, I'll have some faith in the direction the team is going, because there are a lot of exciting prospects in Belleville. Batherson, Rodewald, Formenton, Wolanin, etc. all of those guys. I just have no faith in Melnyk to open up his empty wallet. Until he sells the team, which he won't,  I don't have much faith. The game Duchene and Boucher are playing with the media are hilarious to me. Duchene says he's playing and Boucher says he's heard nothing of a trade or sitting him. Yeah, that's why he practiced on the fourth line today....

Does it make me a bad person wishing that whoever gave Melnyk a new liver when he was dying a few years ago never did? Because Melnyk is slowly killing this team.

I'm shocked to see DeBrusk with 19 goals.  He's been hot lately but this season he's been quiet.

I'm not. He scored 16 last year as a rookie.

He is a draft hit. Of course they gagged away their other two first round picks that year.
They did manage to pick up Brandon Carlo in the second round that year though.

And top it off with a loss (albeit shootout) by the Bruins!  :fistpump:

Damn fine game tonight.  Leafs had a great first 5 minutes, but overall put out a weak effort in the 1st.  Amazing comeback... it certainly wasn't as much of a one-sided victory as 6-3 suggests.  The go-ahead goal with under 2 minutes to go, followed up by 2 ENs.

Definitely glad to be on the good side of that 4-point swing.

Wonder how the Columbus Senators will fare in the homestretch?  That's 4 big named UFAs they've got now.  My bet is that none of them are Blue Jackets next year.

Considering that was the last game of a 5 game 8 day road trip, I'll take the point in St. Louis for sure. The B's went 4-0-1 on the trip taking 9 of 10 points. Plus, they negated the Leaf's game in hand in the process.

Bruins next 6 games are at home. Hopefully they can hold serve.
They have the Sharks and Lightning next, but then it's the Devils, Canes, Panthers, and Sens.

I hear ya.  The Leafs went 3-2-1 on a similar road trip.  I'm hoping the Panthers can play you guys as tough as they played the Leafs earlier this year.  Sens... they're barely a AAA team.

Can't ask for much more than that.

Either team could have outright won that game in regulation yesterday were it not for Rask and Binnington. I know David Backes is going to have nightmares about Binnington  :lol  The kid literally took (2) goals away from him in the game and then stopped his Shoot out attempt.

Rask made a handful of saves that were 'sure' goals....then looked amazing in the shoot out as well.
