Always nice to see the hearts!!

 

[ZBBM]

The D held the fort nicely while waiting for Lupul to dominate the young, highly touted, yet weak-on-the-puck superstar.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Was the puck loose the whole time?

 

[Bender]

Surprised that wasn't called dead, but I'll take it!

 

[ZBBM]

A Jackson Pollack -- that was the best color comment I've heard in a long time.

 

[riff raff]

I can't help but think that if that had happened at the other end, we'd all be complaining.

Oh well.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

That fight sure did get the crowd going.

Oh well.

Was curious because I'm streaming with no sound.  No commentary.

Oh well.

The key is to remember this when we get the shaft upcoming. But we won't...

 

[ZBBM]

Does anyone else get the feeling, when they do a close-up of Patrick on the bench, that he's about a dime away from being a psycho? Edgy.  His mainspring is wound tiiiiiight.

 

[TML fan]

Weak goal after some weak D zone coverage.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Damn,  wish we got to the intermission.

 

[Bender]

Went to the bathroom and this happens. What the hell!

 

[Strangelove]

So should Kadri and Lupul play together considering they were pretty much unstoppable together for long chunks of last season? I'm sort of thinking they should.

I like Bolland but he is a classic third liner.

Love Bolland too but your right, give the ice to Kadri and lets just appreciate Bolland for what he was brought in to provide.

 

[ZBBM]

I don't think Bernier was expecting to be sniped by Cory Sarich.

Was floored by the stat that the COL blueline had only 4 goals last season.  Still in the shadow of Adam Foote, perhaps.

If Bernier gives up all his goals this season to shots like that, that young man is going to have one hell of a season.

No.  You see, Kadri did what he did in 48 games.  Bolland scored a pair of goals in a game.  One is an aberration and the other is proof.  Kadri should be lucky he gets to play with Orr.

It's not even a question of is Bolland a 3rd liner or not. Bolland has played great with Raymond. Kadri has played great with Lupul. It doesn't matter who that 3rd player on the line is. Get those pairs out there and you instantly have 3 solid lines instead of a 1st, 2nd, and two 4ths.
