What a game after a very long layoff. I thought it might end up being a trap game but they took care of business
Go bolts baby
I hope Baker Mayfield had a good time
1st 4 game win streak of the season! Go Bolts!
Fuck ESPN+ for not letting me watch it.
Got a nice winning streak going, but for god’s sake can we beat Buffalo next?
LOVE THE 2 POINTS
Boys took care of fucking business, I’m happy
Really happy with the effort. Outside of a couple breakdowns that was pretty dominant. A little disappointed we didn’t make up ground on the metro teams that played. Somehow Washington and Philly continue to win. But at least we’re controlling what we can control. May just have to do this the old fashioned way and grab the A3 spot. Go Flames!
Why am I kinda sad that Kucherov ONLY had 3 Points, I am to invested in his hart campaign. Keep up the winning LFG
Longest win streak of the season, depth players starting to show up, top 6 are clicking, and the call ups have showed us the farm might not be as bad as advertised. I think things are trending the right direction.
I don’t care if Sheary finally did something good by assisting on Waltuh’s first goal, he still sucks.

I like to think Patty and Bogo sabotaged the wild so they were even worse than normal.
Can’t imagine how heartbreaking it is for Patty to walk in his arena and play his friends as the opponent. I mean, I’m heartbroken for him.
Man I love seeing Gustavsson get lit up.
If we make the playoffs we will look at this homestand as the catalyst.
Really happy with how our AHL prospects are performing. Too early to say obviously but I wouldn’t be surprised if Crozier and Lilleberg are full timers next year.
Man I actually love Lilleberg’s game, Hedman/Serge/Lilleberg down the left with De Haan on limited 7th D minutes is not too shabby
The boys just find ways to win when the new year comes around
If Carolina beat the Wings by 12 goals tomorrow we are clear in the playoff spot!
Nice to see some offense get going all through the lineup, now let’s keep the vibes going this road trip! Need 4 points from those 3 games, and Detroit is a must win.
Offense has really been clicking and the new guys are looking good too. Feels like we could be truly turning a corner here but trying not to get too excited. Detroit game is going to be really big.
Can we never pair de haan and perbix together ever again please!
Edit: to add amazing win!! I’m just nitpicking but they were glaringly bad together in an otherwise awesome night!
congrats to Merela for his first NHL goal
Did not see this one but very nice win. LGB.
