I'm glad I missed it. Same result as last week, SO loss. They need to beat the Pens in PIT. Little to no improvement since last year.
Watching LV and da ducks on NHL Network. First time watching LV this season.
They are coached better than the Avalanche. Who choked against AZ this evening

Without their top line scoring so much as a single point.
Hell of a beat down from Tim Schaller on Fredrik Claesson, though.
The kids in Boston have played real well.
Kids in Winnipeg doing decent as well
But man, Buffalo can’t buy a win
Oh...Rutherford, if you happen to be reading this thread, would you please make a deal with CBJ to pick up Panarin?
He's good. Got himself a glove side high on Murray. I know, big surprise.
That first goal, where Rust went flying by him as he stopped on a dime. Beauty, eh?
Credit to Murray though. He stood tall against Panarin in the shootout.

Yeah when I saw that it they were serving Buffalo for NY I laughed some.
I'm thinking the same thing during the game last night. Put him on Sid's line, with Guentzel on right wing (Both play the off wing), and maybe just maybe we'd see some fireworks.
Nice measuring stick game tonight for the Bruins vs. the Capitals. Holtby has never lost a game to the Bruins. Though the B's are on the upswing and Caps struggling, this will still be a good game to see how the Bruins fare against a team that has had their number for quite a while. Just heard that Rask is getting rest tonight, Khudobin in net.
Me too...BUT...the Bruins spit the bit and blew a 2-0 lead, and lost in a shootout. Oh well...it's a small consolation that they pulled a point out of the game, but still Holtby has their number. Caps were lucky it wasn't 5-0 after the 1st period, but once they got their heads into the game it was pretty even overall. I like that the Bruins look hungry and can hang with them, but they need to still learn how to finish off the better teams when they have the chance. Tonight was a prime example of that.
Leafs win in Matthew’s hometown. Strong offensively, weak defensively.
2 points, off to Colorado.
And took a few days off from TB, but Crosby is certainly a leader on and off the ice. There’s not a player or coach that’s played with or against him that would dispute that. Coaches literally have to force him to take a day off.
Maybe Pens fans that watch him day in and day out don’t see it, but when I watch a game, I’m blown away by his playmaking, hard work in the corners, and by the fact that he is arguably the best player in the game, he seems to find himself alone with time and space.
He may not be the offensive juggernaut he once was, but he’s still almost a point a game player, and the attention he draws from other teams leaves other players open. He may be a minus player this year, but that’s because he plays against the best defensive players in the league. Other teams base their entire game plan against covering Crosby.
Don’t dismiss the impact he has even when he doesn’t have the puck, there’s not a team in the league that wouldn’t sell their soul to have Crosby.

I'm happy just getting a point against the Caps - that shows progress to me. Khudobin made some great stops, that was a game that the B's could easily have lost in regulation.
Not sure what is up with Krug sitting at the end of the game and overtime - injury/ineffectiveness/both? Maybe the B's are setting up sitting Krug for some time and sliding McQuade back in.
I only watched 40 minutes of the Pens game tonight. The first 20 were solid playing. The next 10 were so-so, then the last 10 that I watched turned into a defensive train wreck. I don't know what the trainers, managers, and front office need to do, but those break downs are atrocious. Jarry played decently, though he also made some mistakes and at times seemed a little slow. Maybe missing the playoffs entirely will be a good thing for the team.
