2/24 @VAN: Whole Hoglander

[durandal1707]

Thought the Bs were cooked in the first period in Calgary, but they found their game and salvaged a point out of it.

So the puns continue onto Vancouver, who has lost their last 4 in a row. Let's make it 5.

7:00PM EST time start to this one, which is a nice break from the late night proceedings.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

4 pm here which will make it a nice start to cocktail hour!

 

[joe dokes]

Can the canucks

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Piss on the ashes. Again.

Grz is a game time decision. Brazeau is back in for Lauko.

Marchand - Coyle - DeBrusk
van Riemsdyk - Zacha - Pastrnak
Heinen - Geekie - Frederic
Richard - Boqvist - Brazeau

Grzelyck - McAvoy
Lohrei - Carlo
Forbort - Wotherspoon/Shattenkirk

Swayman

What happened to Lauko?

 

[cshea]

Nothing really, just giving Brazeau and Richard a look.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Nice try Jack.

 

[durandal1707]

We're actually calling Holding the Stick now??!?

 

[cshea]

Geekie on PP1

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Geekie on PP1

I like the 4 forward approach

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

That’s not icing, that’s coasting

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Time for a goal by us

 

[barclay]

Something to be said for holding the western conference point leaders (tied with us for overall points) to 4 shutout periods (including the last game). Let's hope that continues.

 

[durandal1707]

Miller being a POS again

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Piss on the ashes. Again.

Ahhh, this is one of my favorites. Marchand repeatedly jabs a Sedin sister and she just takes it.

 

[Jordu]

Boqvist with the hands!

 

[durandal1707]

BOQVIST!

 

[cshea]

4th line is tremendous

 

[barclay]

BIG B!

 

[Murby]

Boqvist again?! He getting hot?!

 

[The Napkin]

That was pretty nice

 

[Preacher]

Nice!

 

[fiskful of dollars]

Rook!

 

[mostman]

That new kid can seriously pass the puck.

 

[LogansDad]

That was fucking sexy.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

That was a top six goal by a bottom six group. I Like that.

 

[LogansDad]

Quinn Hughes is one of the most impressive passers I have seen.

 

[mostman]

Forbort simply can’t clear pucks. It’s like he thinks the goal is to get the puck as close to the blue line as possible without touching it.

 

[cshea]

Brazeau 1-1=2 in 2+ games.

Steen 1-0=1 in 34 games

 

[cshea]

Let’s not go for the 32 minute penalty kill.

 

[durandal1707]

HEINEN... kicked in though?

 

[LogansDad]

No way that counts, right?

 

[Murby]

Looks good to me. All stick.

 

[durandal1707]

Nope, good goal!

 

[LogansDad]

Oh never mind. Definitely a goal.

 

[The Napkin]

Mmmmmm. Greasy.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Greasy, creasy goal!!

 

[durandal1707]

Swayman.

 

[fiskful of dollars]

Looked questionable in real time. Replay - definitively good goal!

 

[LogansDad]

What a pickup Heinen has been.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Brazeau 1-1=2 in 2+ games.

Steen 1-0=1 in 34 games

Yeah Steen just never seems to put anything together while he’s up with the Big B’s. Not sure he is attractive trade fodder, but he just hasn’t clicked with a reasonable sample size of playtime.

 

[cshea]

What a pickup Heinen has been.

I’m not a big fan of long term contracts for bottom 6 dudes but for him I’d put 3-years, $1.4 AAV on the table and see if he’d bite on the security. Such a valuable Jack of all trades type.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

What a pickup Heinen has been.

He is so much more of a timely, “in the right place, making the right play” kind of guy than he was his first time with the Bruins.

 

[LogansDad]

This is an intense game, Canucks forecheck is spectacular.

 

[The Napkin]

Way too much d-zone time

 

[cshea]

Yeah Steen just never seems to put anything together while he’s up with the Big B’s. Not sure he is attractive trade fodder, but he just hasn’t clicked with a reasonable sample size of playtime.

He’s passed through waivers a bunch so. Probably little to no trade value. He’s useful as an AAAA type fill in.

 

[fiskful of dollars]

Man, this team is getting contributions from a lot of previously unsung players. There’s a nice new core that seems to be developing too. It’s pretty exciting.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

How does NESN come out of a period with a graphic prepped and no one can spell-check it?

 

[Murby]

Sway…..JFC….wow
