Nobody misses Risto. And I’m not sure if anyone ever said he was good. I know we were all hoping that he would get good, because he had an aspect to his game that none of our other defensemen had. It wasn’t until Samuelsson came into his own last year that we had another Dman that could win those physical 50/50 pucks on the boards. And we have guys that still can’t do it. Again, nobody misses Risto. What’s next, a thread about how bad Eakin is? I thought (hoped) we were done hearing about these guys once they were gone.😂

Pretty sure that 1 agains Colorado was the ENG as well. “Deserve’s got nothing to do with it.” Interesting. Yet another aspect of of the game that is not reflected in the xG stat.

I think you forgot about my Vanek injury take.

It was definitely the right call.

Wasn't that the second one called on us this year? Yep. Just checked. CBJs had one against us as well. I think we'll see it again.

In the end though, all that matters is what the teams in front of us do. Why not? When the Ducks won their cup. Neidermayer and Pronger regularly played well over half the game. We’ll be seeing starting goalies by February. I don’t think we’ll have to worry about what will happen in the playoffs.😂

My turn for night night. Good luck, fellas.

So have back-up goalies.😂 Oh, no he d'int!

The kids haven't looked all that great tonight. It's amazing how much better VO an Mittlestadt look away from each other.

Fantastic!

It's so GD frustrating.

And stay out of the box. I really hate Vegas' playing style, It tricks you into thinking it's exciting, and then you realize that you are bored.

The only zone time we had was when Casey was on the ice. He's getting points tonight.

Boosh, the first one was good. That one was stupid.

Casey's getting 2 tonight.

I, too, love watching them get rocked. I can’t imagine how sore some of them have to be in the following days.

Self defense? There are some crazy bastages out there. And my recollection is that they get hammered all the time

That was actually the real Santa.

Yes.

Except when they were.

Thanks. I knew the crease rules. Just didn’t know other stuff.

So, for all those that were complaining about Miami’s home field advantage in the first game, do you really think it was just coincidence that in last night’s game, we were in our all reds and they were in their all whites, in the snow? That game was awesome, btw.

Is there a significance to the lines on the field?

Didn’t the Amerks win as well?

I know. I have made that same joke for years. This is different. This is a new breed of turd that I just don’t have time for.
