WBS destroyed 2nd best team in the AHL (Hershey) by a 9-0 score:

--Murashov in net for the shutout, 27 shots against
--Koivunen with 4 goals
--Ponomarev with 3 goals
--Kral with a goal and 4 assists
--Bemstrom with 4 assists
--McGroarty with 1 assist

Koivunen now leads the AHL in points by a rookie with 35. Good to see the kids in WBS doing well.

Keep them down there away from Sully. Because if you can’t PK as a forward you will be a healthy scratch.

MacDonald has these Younger Forwards continuing to show promise as the Year has progressed.The results are showing a bright future for these guys.

Has any other major sport change a rule because one player, one single player, was so much better than everyone else at something that they decided to take away that advantage? Just because Brodeur could play a puck well shouldn’t have lead to the stupid trapezoid. It would be like changing a strike zone because one pitcher was so good, narrowing the uprights because one kicker was so good. Maybe the 3 point line moving it out in the NBA but seems like every player adapted and it wasn’t some weird angle cut out where you could only shoot in a certain area.

[DelPen]

EK does something that should be routine the last two seasons, I guess woohoo?

[DelPen]

It feels like Rakell isn’t even playing.

[Zalapski33]

EK with a nice read and great shot to tie it.What he should be doing for what he is being paid.Terrific Play there.

[Zalapski33]

Sullivan is sticking with rolling the 4 Lines and giving Boko and Acciari regular shifts here.How about giving Lizotte a run at the 2nd Line Center for his energy and sitting Glass who hasn't done a thing again?

[DelPen]

Sounds like Edzo didn’t like Constantine

I don’t disagree but Hayes is up on the 2nd line, Glass 3rd but I guess that depends on which line is 2nd or 3rd. But LIzotte on the 4th is **** stupid

[Zalapski33]

Sounds like Edzo didn’t like Constantine

Constantine criticized Edzo back in the 1997 Playoffs against Montreal when he was a Minus 4 in Game 5 when that was a 2-2 Series,said he wasn't tight enough defensively.Edzo has a long Memory.

My Bad,should have recognized Hayes up there.

looking at the wings, Bunting-BO vs DOC-PoolParty it’s not a big difference. But Lizotte has to be between one of those pairs and that line would be the 2nd line.

[KG]

I mean, do we even want them to win this game?

I keep hoping that if they continue to lose something drastic will happen.

Been waiting for a few years now.

Edzo was far from a 2-way player. Keenan wouldn’t play him either. Sullivan would never have played him either lol.

Mel Blount would like a word about this subject.

Good Point.Constantine handled that wrong.He kept sending Edzo out there when he was basically a PP/4th Line Player who never fit that system.

That’s somewhat comparable. If you want to know more: https://www.nfl.com/100/originals/100-g ... hangers-46

[Zalapski33]

So is Sully going to give Acciari an OT Shift as the "Jeff Carter Possession" Guy now?
Just run Sid and Rust out here.

[DelPen]

So many passengers tonight. None of the forwards have been notable. Nor the defenseman except for Pettersson fo0r a goal and EK for being both bad and good. Seems like the team just wants to get home.

[DelPen]

Hayes **** around instead of attacking or changing was dumb

[KG]

At least Sid got the GWG.

[Zalapski33]

Sid as usual does something special to finish it off.What a Play.
He got his Goal in Utah,LOL.

That looked like a Sid goal from 15 years ago. Incredible move to win it.
