It was a nice 3 minutes I'll remember it fondly.
Quote:
Just walked in door. Turned it on right before that faceoff, just in time to watch that worthless sack of **** MacDonald vacate the front of the net for an easy GA. Notice how the broadcasters NEVER criticize the vets like Andy? Never change.
Quote:
Wow at MacDonald doing nothing on that goal
Quote:
That was so bad. It was like a chinese fire drill in our zone.
Quote:
lol that space in front of the crease is always free space with this team...
Quote:
Nice buddy pass by Streit there...
Quote:
textbook suicide pass

Wait oh my god that's Keith Tkachuk's SON??? I feel old as ####.

Game misconduct?

Giving him a game misconduct.....

Wow 5 minute major and a game misconduct for spearing. We will take it.

Cousins sold that so well lol. That was such a small tap, but ill take it!

Rofl!!!!
That has got to be the worst call I have ever seen. That's just embarrassing

if this is a 5 minute waste ....
It’s a 5 minute waste
Quote:
Boy any time you can blow 3 minutes of power play time followed by 2 full minutes of 5-on-3, you have to feel great about your chances to win.
Quote:
Lmao… this team lost. Yes let’s pass the puck back and forth at the point for 30 seconds on a 5 on 3
Quote:
Worse power play I have ever seen.
Only positive is they didn’t give up a shorthanded goal.
Quote:
Holy ####
That power play was my least favorite part of this already frustrating season
Quote:
COME THE #### ON! NO HUSSLE.
Quote:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Quote:
2 Flames and 4 Flyers and they pin us in our own zone. Our breakout is pathetic.
Quote:
Jesus, it's like we're not even in a power play.

esus christ, Petr ####ing Nedved could do more on the powerplay

YOU HAVE A ####ING 5 ON 3 AND YOU SPEND 20 SECONDS PASSING IT BETWEEN YOUR TWO DEFENDERS??

Streit and Provorov. Absolutely ****ing morons. Both of them
Playing ****ing catch on a 5 on 3

Calgary is punking this team during this PP
Quote:
Holy ****ing ****, what an absolute joke of a pp, 7 straight zone entry fails!? A huge **** you to streit, cant wait for that idiot to get traded.
However what a weak call on that spear
Quote:
Probably the worst 5 min pp I have ever seen in my time watching hockey

How do you feel being the guy annoying everyone out there?
"Well that's when I'm at my best, you know. And I play hard and...get pucks to the net and play a full 60."
No, #### you. Let me hear:
"Yeah these guys are a bunch of bitches, that's when I play with purpose and hope to take this city down and ride the saddle out of this wasteland. Thanks, Bundy."
Quote:
My god are the Flames always this on edge? Play barely was called an offside and 3 guys rush PEB and they've been on Cousins all night.
I guess that's why they lead the league in PIM/G

Not a good day for out of town help...
I guess Oilers will just have to win it themselves
Quote:
Tkachuk now with 36 points in 54 career games
Quote:
Ya he's looking good. Really hoping Juolevi looks good for us too
Quote:
It just sucks that we are reduced to hoping and wishing when we pass on players that are now producing at 1st line rates, instead we get mystery boxes. Tkachuk had 107P in 57GP then 20G 20A in 18!!! Playoff games last year. He put up more playoff goals than Dvorak or Marner, two players who put up 2PPG in the 2 previous seasons and we pass on him, the best forward, a positional need, a real exciting player, an NHL greats son etc. Sounds like the same descriptions as Nylander
Quote:
Yeah but Juolevi is guaranteed to be a 40 point Chris Tanev.

overshadowed in the victory over tyranny is the wideman gaffe on the first goal.
Wideman's lack of coverage just compounded the original giveaway. I'm not defending him, but if you're going to pick a spot to chew at, that's not a good one to use.

Wideman effect on the major. It was a love tap by Chaisson with the Flyer player embelishing to draw the major. Stupid move by Chiasson but clearly it was not an intent to injure and should have been called a slash.
The rule on spearing doesn't say anything about "intent to injure". If the point of the stick makes contact in a stabbing motion, it's 5 and a game. Period. There's no minor, there's really only not calling it as an alternative.
Now, should Cousins have been penalized for embellishment? I think so. Apparently the refs didn't.
It was a dumb play all round. Wideman effect? Suspect that would have been called on anyone as it happened two feet from a liney.
Does anyone have a clip of this Chiasson "spear"? Couldn't watch the game tonight. Sounds like a really weak call by what even Flyers fans are saying.
I was at the game and couldn't see this spear! They didn't even show a replay on the jumbotron.

You should tell the refs what the rule is then because the guys in the Det-Minny game kind of missed it on the Nyquist double minor for high sticking. Little taps like that are called slashing all the time. BS call tonight.

Man Johnny looks freaking lost out there so often. I dunno if it's Greg's system or if Johnny is just having an off year.
Eat a lot of very unpleasant things Ref. How is that tap, which happens a thousand times every game (and happened 8 times in the continuation of this game) a 5 min and a game? Wideman Effect™ indeed!
Holy crap I love Tkachuk. At an almost Pierre Maquire level. This kid is amazing, and definitely the real deal. And a freaking rookie. Plays like a vet.
My god this Pocket Dawg is the bees Knees.
ATTA BOY FERLY!!! FEED EM PROPER!!!!
I gotta get to more games.

Peformances like that from moose will win us a lot of games. If we could just have an extended stretch of exactly what he brought tonight. Noticed that he did well staying square to the shooter and not going down too quickly. I think he's making adjustments and it's great to see.
My greatest concern is that the 3M line is back to carrying the team offensively and that cannot remain the case for long. However, I actually liked Gaudreau a lot as the game progressed and not to say that Monahan didn't have his chances. Johnny made simpler (smart) plays with the puck rather than trying to do too much at the cost of a break the other way. Sacrificed making pretty risky plays for helping the team preserve the win, and that's important. Still their line is not driving possession and cycling the puck aggressively like 3M was tonight.
One of the best games from Chucky if not the best to date. His honest veteran-like interview in the intermission was just the icing on the cake. He said they needed more time cycling in the offensive zone and he came out in the second and delivered.
