Skinner almost made them pay for the Marchand leg.

Whomever is running the powerplay took the shortbus in to work.

Please no more 21 on the PP 

Please no more 21 on the ice at all.

Forecheck bringing out some boo-birds.

Good. Goooood.

[Carmel Corn]

IDK - but Krebs seems to be playing much better tonight having Robinson on his line....maybe just a mirage, but wondering if there's something to it?

Is it just me, or has Krebs been good with face-offs tonight?

83.3% tonight!

Joki is 3rd... at least PP wise.

You know alot about our defenders PP? Not judging, more impressed really.

I wish Tage would have shot it himself.

I said earlier:  Girgs has hands of stone, Okie is slow.  Krebs is alone out there with those two in terms of scoring.  Robinson in place of Girgs is that increase in skill that makes scoring a, ummm, realistic goal for the line.

Having a winger that doesn’t appear to be skating in mud helps

Marchand goes thru the crease.  Someone kick his Azz.

Weather the storm! It’s coming!

Sarcasm was detected.  I just flipped the script. (Does anyone say that anymore 😀)

I considered that, but two people had already took that seriously. 🤷

[Thorner]

I have the Boston feed so it’s been fun to hear Edwards sound so disappointed

You mean having line-mates  that can play fast and are big and have your back?

Benson is the only one short enough who can get that low. 😁

In that case, Okposo should never be on the ice with Krebs again.

Only a weird bounce off of EJ's skate has got past him tonight. Levi's been excellent.

Last year, it worked. Ok and Girgs helped Krebs learn how to play a grind line role. This year... not so much.

The key would be for coaching to realize that a fast grind line that can play the forechecking game you want the team to play is the way to go. Even if it means the guy who lost a step is now the 13th F.
