Snow in June is one of my favorite Canadian albums ever. Had no idea they had gotten back together. I think I might have to tune in just to hear them play live again.

Great game to be at for obvious reasons! PP looked better imo. Love seeing one times in the PP. Bennett was awesome all game, looked really fast and was always around the puck. Shoutout to the Bucks fans for the Jagr chants at the end of the game, thought he started to have some chemistry on the 4th line as the game went on.

Nice to see Sam with a 4 point night, Im glad people can stop saying he is a bust. Riitich looks solid the team plays well in front of him.

Great game by that 3rd line again, love the chemistry they are building. We need more games like. Everything was working, Gio was so good. He needs to just up his game to this level more often, I miss this Gio. Congrats Benny! I want to use this GIF every game.

They're about to play St. Louis right before Xmas. Gio is just getting warmed up.

I think the lack of Smith's puck handling causes the d to have to skate more in the back end and they end up transitioning up the ice quicker. Mike Smith definitely slows it down back there

Seems a large majority of the board has already checked-out on the team based on the post game thread. Really strong performance tonight. Hopefully the team can get their offense going off this blowout. Oh, and isn't is great to see problems being solved by players from within the organization.

Just caught the score. God damn I hate the nucks, after living on the west coast I'll take any win, especially a blow out. Looks like everything is fine and we are now headed to the moon, right? Even Stajan got a point!

Rittich: "It was just skating practice for me today, like they didn't have a lot of shots because guys played well ... they play like they didn't need a goalie today."

Whole interview, some great quotes and reactions from Rittich:

Interesting thought.

Think Stajan has a decent game too. Skating and made some good passes and has an assist tonight. Hope this continues

At least this team has been good against the Canucks. Impressive game considering they played a late start last night and that's three games in a row with Rittich in net that the seem to play better team hockey. Nothing against Smith but maybe they should be alternating games until Rittich loses as this team needs to go on a run.

Great to see Bennett with a big offensive output. He continues to get better.
