Because on icing the attacking team gets to choose which side of the zone the faceoff will be held.  That was introduced 2 years ago.

Jesus. I haven’t noticed this in two years.

Starting to like what I've seen lately. I don't miss John at all. Team plays better without him. Tuch better not come in and ***** everything up, 😆

What a great game ! With goaltending, these guys can hang with anyone.

If not for the 2 weak goals, UPL would've had a shut out.  Good to see he isn't letting past events stay in his head.  Excellent game by him overall.

Does Granato ride the hot hand in Pittsburgh or does Subban get the start?

You can’t be serious with that question.

Yeah those were pretty bad. Let's hope he eliminates those with more games.

Imagine if he just enhances it 🤯

UPL, he’s young

It's usually not that noticeable as the team usually picks the side before everybody's already nearly set up.  They also do it to start a PP.

I think just his presence already has.

You don't want to wear UPL out, but do you risk derailing this momentum?

TNT you beautiful bastard

But, if he only gives up 2 goals a game... good or bad... that'll bode well for an offensively-minded attacking team.

[GoPuckYourself]

Solid game tonight, I'm not taking UPL out of this lineup. This kids getting valuable minutes and looking like he belongs at the same time.

How so?

They have to travel tonight & still play on the road.  At this point, he's significantly better than Subban when rested, but is he after 2 road games in 3 days playing the next day?

Signature victory  great effort   Can’t wait to add more skill to this lineup  for Don to work with 

 

will be interesting who starts tomorrow.  
3 tough games in 4 days for UPL if he starts 

I think we could see Subban  

 

 

 

[7+6=13]

A team of relatively nobody's, playing very good hockey more often then ever could be expected.   Granato can coach.

Tuch will help.  He plays hard.

No doubt. He's been really good and lowered his goals against again tonight. 

I'm sure he would like em back too.

He'll have games where other teams figure him out. Those are the games he can't afford the softies.

I would rest UPL.  

[Flashsabre]

Play UPL in Pitt. He will have time to rest when Covid shuts things down.😳

Really liked Dahlin tonight.

Dahlin, Cozens, Tage, Joker, now UPL taking consistent positive steps is huge this year. Just bummed that Mitts isn’t doing it with them. Guy can’t catch a break this season.

[LGR4GM]

Kyle Okposo appreciation post. 

 

[Zamboni]

Rest UPL next game

I was told he was a bust and we should trade him... perhaps he's finally being taught nhl hockey and gaining confidence?
