Nash-ed potatoes with two tonight.

The Randy Moss of the NHL.

this is one of those times where I love having the Flyers home feed/postgame show

[offsides]

Flyers still down.
What a shame.

Back to a 3 goal lead. We win, Flyers lose.....make my night.

Actually, that's too good for Nash. We'll go with Allen Iverson

I'm putting WIP on later.
Though they'll probably just talk Iggles.

Sergei Bobrovsky standing tall so far. 25 shots faced through 2. Somehow the Jackets are still in it with only 8 shots on goal.. 0-0.

You've seen the Jackets more than I have this year by a substantial margin...tactically, if you notice, is that what they normally look like? Their in-zone coverage is different than what I remember seeing earlier in the year. I might want to steal it and tinker with it...

Probably gonna need to watch harder for that, but earlier in this game, they had 3 guys around their crease and one in the slot when the puck was below the dots. Jack Johnson ran into the ref and turned it over horribly, and they still got 3 guys down to break up the scoring chance.

Puck gets dumped in, they have 3 guys working to get it out, which typically is more than the offense has.

They take up a lot of space in the slot. At times, it looks like a box and 1, where they look like a PK with one guy pressuring the point. Other times, it looks like they're playing a compressed version of the 1-3-1, keeping guys to the outside.

Then, there's other times where you wonder what the hell they think they're doing. So far through this Vancouver game, though, they've been really strong and tight.

Of course, all of the above is based on the last 10 minutes or so when I was actually trying to pay attention to it, so I have no idea if they've been doing this or they're running it against the Canucks as a strategy.

Bobrovsky stones Jannik Hansen on the breakaway with :30 left in OT. Both he and Schneider get the shutout. Going to a shootout.

I have both of them playing on my one fantasy team. Do I get 2 shutouts?

[mikey287]

Yes you do.

And yeah, I noticed 3 men down below the circles and then 2 at the next level high...I haven't seen much of that on a consistent basis. It's interesting because it reminds me a bit of the left wing lock but in a super condensed area...allows for constant out-numbering down-low against a team that likes to cycle (namely, the Sedins). I'll go back and watch some Blue Jackets tape and check out if that's the norm.

Canucks win 1-0 in the shootout. Road point for Columbus, a rarity.

Left Bobrovsky out to dry in the shootout

Really, Johansen and Calvert... trying to be too fancy. Anisimov makes the same move every time (4 out of 6 on the year counting tonight).

[bhaw]

Eberle pretty much took care of the Blues himself. Two goals with the third goal caused by his breakaway and taking Allen out of the net with it.

Calvert looked like he was gonna do something cool and just kind of got away from him...he came in with the puck right on his heel the whole way, I was thinking, "boy, he's close to losing that thing..." and then he goofballed it right into Schneider's paraphernalia...

Still like Calvert, always have, going back to his days as a Wheatie...

??? Iverson was a four time nba scoring champion, won an MVP award and took a team that started Eric snow, George lynch and Tyrone hill to the finals.

[shmenguin]

Nash has been exceptional this year.

We talking bout practice.

Nash has the talent to be a great player. He's just so inconsistent/lazy. He picks and chooses when he wants to show up and play. Other nights, he just goes through the motions.

AI was awesome

ouch

[canaan]

I didnt care for AI's "team game" but the dude could shoot. its a shame the way his career ended, wallowing in self crapulence.

[NashvilleCat]

Subban is a dirtball but why is Lucic allowed to play with blood running down his nose?

[brwi]

This MTL-BOS game is pretty good. After MTL lost to the Pens 7-6, they came back the next night and beat Boston on the road and looks like they are bringing their "A" game again tonight in the same situation. Quite a rivalry.
