The Rat. I used to see him playing old man hockey up at Phillips Exeter prep in NH while my son practiced on the other rink. He played with Rick Middleton and a few other ex-Bruins. Middleton had the silkiest mitts, even as an old guy.

That's just not a penalty a smart captain takes.

Cuzzie

C'mon JJ. You're due.

Lethargic period. Somebody needs to provide a spark. Gimme a GD spark!

PP, let's go

Some O zone time please?

Wow

Third time’s a charm!

Proving yet again that it's not always how you start but how you finish. Nice comeback.

Goal!

Almost

OK, after a slow start, they came back and got one and still have a chance at two. Go get it.

Can we take a few more SOG please? Pretty please?

I mean, he's literally one of the only adults in the room. And it shows.

Yessir

Goal

Don't you think it would be human nature that if you start getting buried that you'd want to bury someone in return? If we were awesome at scoring, I'd say just go and get a goal. But that doesn't seem to be our style.

Boring game. Dull effort so far, IMO. Is this what they are?

Clifton answers the call to action

Slow start....

Let's go. Make it hurt.

Rough call

I've also noticed recently that (with exceptions) they don't seem to celebrate goals together very enthusiastically, almost non-chalant at times. I remember feeling the same way late in the Eichel/Reinhardt era. How much do you think these guys actually like each other?
