So how huge was that 5-on-3 kill?

 

[YYZ]

HE's VISIBLE NOW!!!!

Who else is invisible tonight?

Marner hasn't done much offensively . . .

He should be sent back to OHL.  Clearly can't handle the big boys game.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Gardiner's sitting at 56% in CF. Zaitsev, his defence partner, is somehow at 33%.

 

[Nik]

Didn't get much of a mention but that was a bananas pass from Matthews to Nylander.

 

[azzurri63]

Nevermind  Kypreos, Hrudey etc where's Don? I wanna hear more on Kucknerov and Kaperkin or whoever he was talking about after the 1st.

And a pretty sweet save Holtby made initially.

I've actually been very impressed with Holtby which bodes well for the Olympic team next yea....oh yeah.

8)

OK, I'm going off the board here....

Dare I say Carrick has been pretty invisible so far this series?

EDIT: If this works you can put me on Legends Row next to Ciggy the Beard.

[Frank E]

That was pretty cool of Scott Oake there.

That was pretty cool of Scott Oake there.

I'm assuming he is on a mission to get punched by a player during an intermission interview. 

 

[CarltonTheBear]

A PP!

 

[L K]

The day this stops being a PP will be a good day for the game of hockey.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Rielly stays on the PP!

 

[azzurri63]

This drop pass crap on the PP is starting to drive me nuts. Wasting more time on the PP just dropping the puck back. Wow dump it in and go get it. PP was so good during the year getting it in and quick short passes and were capitalizing. Been different story last month.

 

[L K]

Andersen run over IN THE CREASE

I've never had a problem with it. Either you need that rule or you need a harsher penalty for icing.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Uh, refs, we're still owed another powerplay or two. Hitting a goalie in the crease or holding a player behind the net with one arm generally get called even with prison rules.

Thanks refs.

That is 100% categorically false. On the PP this year they always tried to gain the zone by skating it in.
