I'll take it and run.

Sedins finished strong. Maybe they were saving up for the 3rd and OT????

The Sedins took most of the penalties and played 2.5 periods like it was a charity game. But they came through in the last half the third and in OT.

A good offensive game but defensively we are porous. Lack let in one very soft goal, a potential killer.

Bo another good game.

We are banged up. We need to call up some fresh blood. Given Gaunce a chance, or Jensen or Shrinkwrap. One of them. Let's see what they have.

Always nice to get two in Chicago.

Up and down game, Lack pulls a Miller in the last minute but played great the other 59 minutes.

I sure hope if a player is needed it is a prospect.

You need to walk him through what you want, what you expect. He apparently responds well to video sessions and very specific instructions. As well his old coach said you have to let him play, he is better when he plays reckless. I interpret that more as when he plays without fear of being benched.

Being fully healthy I'm sure helps too. Sure would be nice if this is a sign he is regaining his confidence.
LOL so in short, Zack ain't the brightest star in the sky. Did WD really need Zacks jr coach to tell him that? He plays best when he isn't required to use his noodle, lol.

Great game. It was closer than it had to be, but we'll take the win. Lack was great for most of the game, but the last one was weak. Looked a bit like Lou there, giving up a softie late in the game. :lol: I was going to say Lack should start the Boston game, then maybe come back with Miller vs Calgary. However, after how the game ended, it'll be fine for Willie to go with either guy.

For this game at least, it seemed like we had 4 lines rolling again. We're at our best when all 4 lines are playing well and contributing. Nice to see Kassassian get his 3rd in as many nites, he was pumped too and we could hear him yell: "WOOOOO!" Nice to see Zack doing what he said, just keeping things simple. Dump it in when his line is due for a line change, be responsible defensively and use his size to his advantage.

Something about Kenins on that BoHo line, they seem to make things happen. Maybe cuz they play a similar game, both are strong on the boards, have youthful energy, work hard and drive to the net. I don't like seeing Zack get scratched in favour of Kenins, but Kenins-BoHo comes through with another goal.

Ii wonder what the record is for own goals, we must be close. I think Kenins needs to stay in, he and horvat are great together and really provide energy. I would like to see Kassian play on their right side. The Sedins had another great game with a couple of huge brain farts. Henrik dogging in on the too many men, he needs to lead by example. Clenndenning is looking better every game he plays, Sbisa still worries me but he is getting better as well. I am glad they didn't trade tanev, I hope they get him signed soon. I hope they sign Mathias he is turning into a very solid player, his consistency is improving. Higgins can go any time now, he is redundant and they need the space. I am glad we didn't get evander kane. Keep developing from with in, it can be a painful process and hard to be patient but when you get to see some results it makes it all worth while. So if they keep at it the way they have been do we have stinker against boston and a goodie against calagary.

I paragraph.

A few comments;
Tough to play dump and drop back to a defensive position for half a game. No surprise the 'Hawks made it closer than it should have been.

Will Buffalo come calling for Lack in the off season?

Zach with a limited consistent effort, lowest TOI on the team. He did it all without top six linemates and 2nd unit PP time. Lets see how he follows it up.

Great shot of WD giving Henrik the business on the bench for Kessel performance.

Blasting through the between period nonsense I did catch a hilarious grimacing look from Kyprios as Cox was spouting off about something. Even Nick recognizes Cox is an idiot.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
