11/29 - Bs @ Philly

[NYCSox]

Those look like Flyers sweaters and not Canadiens sweaters. Odd.

 

[Jordu]

This is so great.

 

[The Napkin]

Weak

 

[cshea]

Don't call the slash on Beleskey, but gotta make sure that one is called.

 

[LogansDad]

Marchand penalty. 2 minutes for getting his stick ripped out of his hands.

 

[SoFloSoxFan]

Call was roughing, later on in play after he checked giroux.

 

[Jordu]

Crosscheck on 78?

 

[Maximus]

#1 PP unit should have been out there 1st on that PP. No one wanted to take a shot on the 2nd unit.

 

[LogansDad]

Always nice to get a point on the road after being down 2 in third. Now go get the 2nd.

 

[cshea]

Marchand, Bergeron, Pastrnak. No D. Do it.

 

[ifmanis5]

Great move, thought that was it.

 

[FelixMantilla]

What the hell is Mason getting pissy about with Krejci?

 

[LogansDad]

Nvm

[Rico Guapo]

TTTTUUUUKKKKKK

 

[Jordu]

Oh boy. Tuukka, you rule.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Why the hell did Backes leave the ice?

 

[ifmanis5]

Great save.

 

[cshea]

I think he broke his stick

 

[LogansDad]

Hell of a game

 

[Maximus]

Terrific save by Rask

 

[FelixMantilla]

I think he broke his stick

Gotta be it. Veteran player wouldn't make that kind of mistake.

 

[cshea]

Fuck off Bettman

 

[Luis Taint]

Tukka is great

 

[cshea]

Getting a shot off would be cool.

 

[Rico Guapo]

Seriously?

 

[Rico Guapo]

MARCHY!

 

[Luis Taint]

Marchand

 

[FelixMantilla]

MARCHAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hector Salamanca]

MARCHY!!!!

 

[Nomar813]

Marchy, you magnificent bastard.

 

[TFP]

Tuukka is a fucking beast in the shootout. Wow.

 

[Luis Taint]

I'm not a fan of Hayes

 

[ifmanis5]

Finish it, damnit.

 

[Rico Guapo]

End this shit now.

 

[Jordu]

Goddam Rask is outstanding.

 

[cshea]

Tuukka is a fucking beast in the shootout. Wow.

Stopped 17 of 19 (including the Voracek penalty shot) on the year.

 

[Luis Taint]

Fuckkkkk

 

[ifmanis5]

That blows.

 

[TFP]

Stopped 17 of 19 (including the Voracek penalty shot) on the year.

In only 2 shootouts, haha.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Brutal. I hate this team in a shootout. Only Tuukka keeps us in these.

 

[LogansDad]

Damn. I hate shootouts. And I hate masons.

 

[Jordu]

Damn. Came back for 2-0, anyway, and got a point. That non-call on the Simmons slash was a game-changer.

 

[Stu Nahan]

This team is the worst

 

[The Napkin]

How is Marchand the fifth option?

 

[cshea]

Deserved better. Bettman can die.

 

[ngruz25]

How is Marchand the fifth option?

This is truly puzzling.

 

[cshea]

How is Marchand the fifth option?

It is a crap shoot. I can't quibble with his shootout order. The regulars like Marchand, Bergeron, Krejci, Spooner are around 30% shooters in the shootout .Riley Nash for some unkown reason is at like 50% for his career. So Nash goes and then it's whoever Clode feels like has a hot hand at any given time.

 

[ngruz25]

How is Marchand the fifth option?

This is truly puzzling.

 

[cshea]

Career in the shootout (not including tonight)

Bergeron: 25/84 (29.8%)
Krejci: 14/47 (29.8%)
Spooner: 3/10 (30%)
Marchand: 5/24 (20%)
Pastrnak: 0/6 (0%)

I don't have the exact number of attempts and don't feel like farting around with the horrible NHL stats page, but Nash is 54.6% in his career.

He sends Nash out because of his success, and then it's just a gut feeling/names out of a hat. I don't think there's much more he can do. The whole thing is a farce anyways.
