💯 for Kuch! Hopefully we can the momentum going
Once again Kuchy making 4 points look easy, could have had a couple more. What a fucking player. Big win LFG
What a way to respond these past two games after that shitty homestand. Just huge all around.
Hagel is now tied for 5th in even strength points in the NHL
Taking away points of both teams that are right behind us in the playoff race, and on a back to back. Definitely makes up for those shit losses at home.
i accept this score
Loved absolutely everything about that game. Pretty close to perfect outside of a bad bounce on the PK. Jojo in net and we gave up 19 shots, very little dangerous. That third period looked like a shut down period from the cup runs. Gave up absolutely nothing. Game easily could’ve been 6 or 7-1, gotta love that effort.
Four points for Kuch today, seven this weekend, in back to back games less than 24 hours apart.
To help us get a much needed sweep of these games.
And we only allowed them to take three shots despite having two PPs. Great defense and zone work.
winning back to back away matinee games is the most impressive thing this team has done since it’s cup runs
also, obviously a ton of credit to kuch & hagel, but shoutout glendening for becoming a huge player for us, dude gets the toughest assignments and has been so steady
Dream performance from the team in a must win game. Jojo comes in cold and plays great, team played really well as a whole. Sheary is still just absolutely awful though, twice Stamkos is alone and both times Sheary fails to get the puck over to him. At this point, just scratch him and see how badly he wants to be here because it looks like he doesn’t care at all.
Well this weekend was the turnaround we needed. Hopefully can carry this momentum into Philly
Wtf I love weekend back to back matinee games now
In an absolutely huge game, they showed up.
Stars led the way. Great game by JoJo. Blocking shots and playing smart in our own zone.
Big game from Chaffee and Crozier.
Big game from Luke Glendenning and Hagel.
Most importantly. They stood tall and brought it home with prejudice. Closed it out.
This was a huge game for NJD too.
Absolutely classed them today.
Enjoy it everyone! See y’all Tuesday! ⚡️
I hope that games like this airing on national broadcasts will bring more attention to the fact that Kuch deserves the Hart.
Also just can’t say enough good stuff about Hagel. He deserves to be talked about way more than he is.
Nikita Kucherov
Wait. I love TNT now? What’s happening? They are talking up Kucherov hard post game.
The masculine urge to say “we’re so back” after spending the whole week saying “we’re so cooked”
So happy we won!
Also this has to be the end of the road for now with Sheary right? He’s bottoming out.
The kids are waiting and the time is NOW.
We just need Detroit to lose and it will be a solid day of hockey
If we make a deal for Hanifin, Sheary NEEDS to be going the other way
The Tampa Bay Lightning currently has 69 points.
You know, this team causes me to drink more than I should but sometimes I feel we can really do serious damage if we can just figure it out and sustain it…. These lines and again, these kids are the difference makers from what I’ve seen. I feel a few pieces and yeeting Sheary would dramatically change our fortunes….
I just wonder, who do y’all see as someone we can bring in?
Personally I think Brannstrom would be a good possibly cheap addition from Ottawa
Please can we scratch Sheary in Philly. Any of the Syracuse kids would be better! Hell, I probably wouldn’t be much worse and I haven’t ice skated in 20 years!
Really impressed with Crozier today.
Very good win and more consistent performance than yesterday. Defense worked, it’s not flawless though and we are still making things harder for ourselves than they need to be in our own zone. Crozier is great, hope he stays. Lilleberg is a bit on-off, mistakes here and there but the effort is good. But Cernak, he needs to find his game and I really hope he does because right now it’s not the EC81 we know. Tough season for him and hope he stays healthy. On to the next one.
JoJo was crazy today, well done
