We need to tighten up both on the forecheck and backcheck.....

The boys just seem a step slow the last 3 games, I can't put my finger on it.  Are they still getting conditioned??

Last game they had a few out of rotation and killed them in 3rd. They looked tired. Look far better tonight in the third

Ok, is it just me or is Mike saying Sekera wrong? 

He is saying Sec-a-ra, Forslund always said Sa-kera.

What do you like about Reimer? A good back up no doubt but not a starter

He's played out of his mind tonight.

If we pull this out, he will be the #1 star of the game.

I know no one knows how long Mrazek is going to be out, but we can't ride Reims like a rented mule, and Ned is not ready for the NHL (and I don't know if he will ever be TBH).

I still think we kick the tires on Kuemper.

Alright, let's put this game away on the power play.

Exactly. I’m probably over harsh on Reimer but this team is a good goaltender away from a championship. Both of ours are back ups

Excuse my french but...get bent, Benn.

I'm with you and Rocky that Reimer is not a guy you can ride to a Stanley Cup. Not sure Mrazek is either. Ned might be one day. But, I don't think we need any of them to be That Guy this season.

I definitely disagree that both James and Petr are backups. When healthy, they are an almost ideal 1a/1b. Both are guys that you can rely on generally not to lose you the game. And both are capable of games, like tonight, where they are THE reason you win.

In a condensed season, with tons of back to backs, it might be more beneficial to have 2 of those guys than one star netminder and some scrub behind him.
