Have Bucky and Sully addressed this attack against freedom of the press?

CNN's Jim Acosta supports the hockey writer. :ph34r:

Loved it!

 

 

Rewatch this play again and pay attention to Eichel's lower hand. He reverses it on the stick to feign as if he's going to draw the puck back and suck in the opposing Center. He then pokes the puck through his opponent's legs and makes the laser pass to Skinner with his hand STILL inverted.

 

Now that is an elite play. Wow.

Hockey is not meant to be played at 1:PM on freaking Saturday afternoon!!! I hate these afternoon games!!!

 

For gods sake, Saturday was Hockey NIGHT in Canada for a reason...the games are played at NIGHT!!!! It aint Hockey Afternoon!

You have become a straitjacketed traditionalist. Loosen up and little and go with the flow. Fulminating about how great the good old days were when they were really not can be taxing. The rule book of What and When you are referring to doesn't exist. It is a figment of your tightly scripted imagination. :)

Amazing finish. Middlestadt's SO goal was so crafty it should have it's own shelf st Hobby Lobby. 

Still rewatching Casey's great move.  He's gonna be fun to watch in shootouts

For those who don't appreciate Reinhart as much as I do I say stand back and more carefully watch him play.  He has the hockey instincts and intelligence that are at an elite level. It's understandable that power players get the most attention. However, his exquisite passes such as the one to Skinner are a beauty to behold.

 

I predict that in the not to distant future K-9 and Plenzmd1 will be vying with each other to be the honorary president of the Sampson Reinhart fan club. :)

 

I didn't see the first period but I thought that Vancouver had the edge in play in this game. Hutton played well but gave up one goal that I thought was soft. A win is a win. It's fun to have a team in the playoff hunt. Last year, we were both the worst team and most boring team in the league. This year , we are a playoff competitive team and a fun team to watch. I'm hoping that Beane can have an offseason to match Botterill's!

Yeah, you'd be correct.  Vancouver was the better team for 55 min.  But I'll take it!

SR has had a couple good games in a row. It’s a start. He’s done that in the past before disappearing for long stretches. If he finds consistency in his game’, he can be a legit top six forward in this league. Plenz and I have never suggested otherwise. But I’ll believe he’s arrived when I see he’s arrived. He’s fooled me before. 

 

Regarding Hutton, his stellar play kept the game close while our D was getting its ass handed to it so I’ll forgive him for a couple bad goals allowed. 

 

Speaking of our D, we have issues on the back end. 

 

And unless Girgensons is injured, Housley cannot sit him. That fourth line has been very good for us this year, our best fourth line in I don’t know how long and it makes a difference, especially late in games. 

 

Question for the board: did they ever say what happened to Eichel? He didn’t look right.
