Deflected?

Lange and Bourque said it was deflected off of Bortuzzo.

it absolutely was deflected

[nocera]

When will we start putting Jokinen out there just for face offs?

It was an icing faceoff...

Well... you know man, that's just like, your opinion.

[BurghThing]

What are you guys going to do when Brooks scores a series clincher in this years playoffs?

I predict Murray scores before Orpik

[DelPen]

Trip Tracey was talking about the first goal and how Staal had leverage on the face off and they completely missed the 2nd goal.

[offsides]

Sure hope we go to the playoffs healthy, because this ain't gonna cut it. We should be dominating this crappy team, even with the injuries.

Is it bad that I'm not super interested in this hockey game?

I predict Glass scores before Orpik

[Lt. Dish]

Have face offs just been absolutely horrible this year compared to last year or does it just feel that way?

Too lazy to look it up, but it does feel that way to me, and it feels like a loss results in a goal an inordinate amount of time.

You're watching PHI-NYI. Admit it.

Let's not get carried away here.

[shmenguin]

Adams and malkin are bad at faceoffs. Everyone else is above average. It's not a concern.

Sign Zigomanis.

First period of a road game and we're missing our top 2 D and two in the top 6. Settle down.

I predict Orpik commits a turnover which leads to a goal against and he'll stare down the ref as the Canes celebrate.

[GDR]

Iginla getting owned by Joe Corvo was kinda sad

[DontToewsMeBro]

Malkin looks fine to me.

Now you're just talking crazy

Lol, just updates. I can't watch that team.

Except for Sutter in his own right dot

I didn't think it was in reality; I figured my feelings were overreactions, as I've been pretty stressed out lately.

Anyhow, I'd like to see Geno and Iggy exert their will and take over this game in the 2nd. Let's go.

We've been horrible ever since Sid went out. There's no excuse for it, we've stuck to a system before while missing key players for lengthy periods.

I just don't understand it, we absolutely look lost in structure. We can't clear our zone, we are losing tons of battles, we have no cycle or offensive zone time.

Fleury is up and down again too.

[Gaucho]

Pens allow two goals after lost faceoffs and people all of a sudden detect a season-long trend. Funny how that works.

[penny lane]

Fleury is up and down again too.

[scals37]

Fleury is up and down again too.

yes, I had to at this too

[Lt. Dish]

Joe Corvo's being interviewed on the CAR feed. I'm LOLing because the last time I saw him interviewed on TV was when he was shellshocked in the 2009 ECF and could barely speak. It was something to behold.
