Ullmark first star 

And there's your excuse for the season: we'd would have been in the race for a playoff spot if our starting goalie hadn't been injured.

3 thoughts.

Montour's goal should have counted.  Holtby initiated contact and Skinner was getting checked into the crease.

With Ullmark in net and healthy I think we are a playoff team

Kahun is a really nice player.  Nice acquisition by Jbot.  He'll really help in a full season next year.

If a shootout shot, or this game, or even a month's worth of games, are what Terry bases these decisions on, we are screwed either way hehe

Meant the acquisition. 

You KNOW Botterill is going to point to it as evidence to keep his job

Skinner has admitted he's terrible at shootouts.

He's gotta be better than Vesey and Johansson.

Reinhart's shootout attempt was terrible. Holtby all over it.

He was weak and uninspired. That's basically how he plays. I don't care about his stats, his game is uninspired. Trade him for a good 2C.

Drew Stafford drove me nuts with his pathetic shootout attempts.  Eichel appears to be his clone.

That is only for offside challenges 

No this year it became both challenges upon failure = a penalty.

Sounds like a trade the stuff we don't want for all the good things you have.

No.  Stop settling.  We need a real 2C.  Kahun is a nice player but not the 2C to replace ROR. 

We get a real 2C and if Kahun grows into that role, we breathe a sigh of relief that JBottom is gone.

[Tondas]

Just watched a reply of Olafsson's goal.  Wicked release and speed.  Holtby barely moved.

Or had a better back up

Agreed wholeheartedly. It was more a question of --- if he is, then maybe JBot is absolved of other errors. But in reality, Kahun looks like a good middle-six winger or 3C. I too, want a legit minutes-eater who can take pressure off Jack and Angry Larry (or whomever is 4C next year) and take draws with the game on the line in either zone.

It's been such a long time
I think I should be goin', yeah
And time doesn't wait for me, it keeps on rollin'
Sail on, on a distant highway
I've got to keep on chasin' a dream, yeah
I've gotta be on my way
Wish there was something I could say

[Pimlach]

Why interview Skinner?   To ask him why a 40 goal scorer dies not smell one second of OT?

Technically he was out there 3 seconds at the end lol

 

Supposedly he hates shootouts thus it takes a good number of players to go before they'd eventually tell him to suck it up.

I'm not going to be critical about anything tonight.  I just feel good.  We won and I was proud of the boys.

[Zamboni]

Jack looks like 

[Tondas]

I usually say that's 3 hours I'll never get back.  But tonight, that's 3 hours well spent.

[Thorner]

Nice streak breaker for both the team and Jack.
