Im liking this Aho, Necas thing.

And the reverse almost identical shot placement.

Reimer in net. Same lines as last night just switched around in the order.

This pass though. 11/10. Straight up nasty.

He's settled down a lot since his first couple games. A lot less hectic. Going for the glove there was a simple learning moment.

There we go.

Get in the offensive zone. ffs

Ok, lets see how our 3 v 3 can roll. Saturday was pretty solid. No breakaway goals, please!

Im liking this new Trocheck line though I think running him + Svech is gonna start working some magic soon.

Get another one and put this away.

Wow. Wasn't expecting that.

Fuggidy fug fug. Overplayed the glove right there.

Ya no time to let off the gas now.

Right on queue. Third period panthers. Need to step it up O.

Ya we really need to get a cushion. I have a feeling they are gonna come out violent in the third.

Holy poo clutch glove save right there from Ned during this 4-3.

I think if he does good tonight he should start tomorrow night. With Mrazek slated to return giving Reimer some rest & a reset wouldn't be a bad thing.

Hornqvist back in the box again. He's getting real chippy, tried to start a couple fights so far.

Only one goal but probably our best most invigorated period of hockey in the last 5 games.

Ok Bean gets a point for that pass right there. Pesce was wide open.

Looks like Ned is getting the start tonight. Crazy new lines. I actually like the way these look too. Foegele-Staal-Necas Niederreiter-Aho-McGinn Svechnikov-Trocheck-Fast Paquette-Lorentz-Martinook

They are only one loss worse than us last season coming off two division wins and a playoff win. Last season was a poo show but besides shitty contracts and front office BS there’s nothing to say on the field they can’t right the ship with a few solid defensive upgrades + JJ Watt replacement. Giving away their star QB and crippling their offense does not achieve any forward momentum for them at the current time. Thus why they have no interest in trading him. Him holding out the entire season is the only way they lose at this point but it sounds like they are willing to call his bluff or this is all just hyperbole. Whereas, we have been on a steady decline and even with a new coach was nowhere close to having a “good” team last year. Why would Watson want to come here and why should we want to give up a stupid amount of Capitol for one QB. When we are nowhere close to having a good much less winning team?

Oh my. Stick in hand.

Notice how they started getting real chippy in the third period. I expect a full out fight Monday night. I do wonder if that was Staal getting payback for the crosschecks too.

Nice, now let’s follow it up Monday and get back on the rails.
