Yeah, there's a time and place. That ain't it. I could be remembering wrong, but I feel like there was some booing of TP during RJs ceremony.

Just played a good game and beat the hated Bruins, the Preds stink - yeah, this feels like one they blow a 2-0 lead and lose 5-3.

This. If healthy and engaged, Pettersson is a top-20 player in the league. He has an elite shot and is an excellent defender. The sharp drop in production that followed signing his contract is very concerning. He has a reputation for being aloof. Did he get paid and now doesn't see the need to go all out? I don't know, that's pure speculation. The knee thing, I guess I don't know enough about him to feel too far one way or another about it. He's been very durable the previous 3 seasons. Sometimes guys just have an injury that disrupts a season then he's fine. If he's this unhappy in VAN, how's he going to act in Buffalo on a team that looks like it has a ways to go? Then again, maybe a change of scenery reinvigorates him. It's just a very weird situation. Last year, the Canucks quest to extend him was a big story, now 12 months later they want to unload him? Something is off there.

It this sludge fart of a season, I'll enjoy these little wins. On to the next one.

BENSON

WE WANT 7!

Damn, Benson almost had one. THIS is how you play with a lead. DAMN, UPL!

JJP! Dual hatties!

And when I come back the Bruins score. I can take a hint.

I step away and they scored again. Maybe this is the universe's way of telling me I should watch less?

It's been their M.O. all season and not seeing a shift yet tonight.

God, the ESPN+ app is asssssss

Took the dog for a walk, come back 3-1. Nice, but can they hold it?

Nice play, Byram.

102.3 mph. Yowza!

Benson's youth showing, but UPL's gotta have that.

Ferk.

Maybe. I didn't catch any replays, but watching it live I was like "FFFUUUUUUUU"

Damn, UPL is lucky that didn't bounce off his skate and in. He needs some help, lads.

We are dog ***** at possessing the puck. Also dog ***** at odd man rushes.

We're in year 4 (or is it 5?) of this current rebuild and we have a (not McDavid or Bedard) rookie centering our top-line. Don't get me wrong, I've been impressed with Kulich lately and think he has a bright future, but that is ludicrous.

I'll watch because I'm a glutton for punishment and loyal to a fault. And as usual with this team, neither outcome would surprise me. This is a wholly schizophrenic bunch that on any given night is capable of beating or losing to anybody.
