Johansson has completely fallen off the table.

Mojo didn’t have it there ...

I would argue Mojo has not had it since he returned to the lineup.  He does not look like the same player from early in the season.  And since he's our supposed best 2C, anybody see a problem here?

[Huckleberry]

uggh damn it 

[Carmel Corn]

Just don't let Mathews get a hattie!

It worked against the Islanders but come on Ralph. The PP could have tied that game up without another guy on the ice taking up room.

The PP was solid and scored earlier

[Huckleberry]

Eichel is still better than Matthews ?

[Stoner]

Need two goals and no one will shoot.

[bunomatic]

Fricken hell

[Nitro60]

Still loathe Toronto.

[Slack_in_MA]

Well, they certainly didn't deserve to win that one.

[Gatorman0519]

Weak game against our arch rivals.

Ralph pulled the goalie too early

Actually he didn’t.

Ralph out smarted himself in the end

I respectfully disagree.

[Formerly Allan in MD]

When you have the odd man, move the damn puck!  It's basic hockey.

I respectfully disagree.

The 6 on 4 was worth the fact that the ENG was given up a little sooner than usual.

[Nitro60]

Going to watch Shrek the Halls with the family.  Good night all!

[Gatorman0519]

Special teams still killing this team.

Exactly

This team is going nowhere without a functional 2nd line.  Botterill is burning a stellar year by Eichel.

It all depends on your view of analytics

And stifling Skinner's potential.

[Torpedo Forecheck]

You have to pull the goalie there, it may be your best chance to tie it up, what are you saving it for.

I'm amazed he doesn't even get out there at the end anymore.SMH

[CallawaySabres]

Can't win em all?

What Krueger said about Bogosian. It's not on the coach.

And it isn't like having 1 more true top 6 guy wouldn't be valuable moving forward.

1 more gives them 6 guys that, at worst, aren't clearly out of place on the top 2 lines.  Having that plus the Larsson line makes life really easy for whichever version of 3 that forms the "3rd" line.
