Scotty Bowman is at the game.  Former coach and GM of Buffalo.  Won cups in Montreal, Pittsburgh and Detroit.  

Got us to a Conference final loss his first season and never got close again.   Basically dismantled the team and sold it for draft picks.  Notable were Mike Ramsey and two HOF players in Housley and Andreychuck. Also drafted Tom Barrasso who he mysteriously dealt to Pittsburgh just prior to leaving Buffalo and then accepting a GM job there.    Hmmmm 

He lives here as well

Which red wing is going to break our heart tonight?  I’ll say Larkin.

Larkin, Bertuzzi, Anastasia

Dammit Zemgus, Larry was wide open.

Larry would have shot it wide

[Tondas]

How can pros have such difficulty in passing the puck???

[Pimlach]

Would like to see Eichel and Skinner take control of this game and make the fans happy.

I need to learn to read lips. Scotty was chirping up a storm.

Just pretend the last two months didn’t happen and we are battling the Red Wings for the last wild card spot.

I've done this and really gotten into it. We do what we do to survive.

[Stoner]

You know what I can do without? Overt demonstrations of disappointment after missing the net. Talking to you, Conor.

[Brawndo]

Dammit

The game is much more entertaining if you leave the baggage behind.

You are always ahead.

Oh FFS.

[Beer]

What do I win?

[Stoner]

Bruce Dern.

[Pimlach]

Instead of Eichel taking control it Larkin.  

[dudacek]

Might have gone wide if Linus didn’t get a piece of it.

And that might be the first 5 on 5 goal against Nylander has been on for.

Good post, but Scotty didn't trade Barrasso. It's funny to think that after those big draft years of 1982 and 1983, Scotty lasted only until the fall of '86.

I am surprised by how involved Nylander has been. He looks like he belongs.

[Tondas]

Just when we get fast, puck moving defensemen, it looks like the league is moving back toward bigger thumpers on D.  Our D-men are being overpowered.

I certainly hope so.  We need some draft picks to hit.

[Pimlach]

From the draft of 2014.  Don’t look now but Larkin has more career points than Reinhart.  As does Draisital and Pasternak by wide margins.   Ehlers , Point and Arvidsson  will be passing him soon. 

 

[dudacek]

Ooh-lofsson

[Brawndo]

That was pretty

I'm trying to temper my expectations due to how many others on the team are playing, and due to quality of competition. But he looks pretty good, I agree.
