    Good fight from our squad tonight in this lost, good for the tank AND good for the culture. I hate loosing, especially against BOS but if it had to happened, this is the way.

    Suzuki and Guri are rapidly developping a good chemistry, but still, every one looks good beside Captain. It’s not a jab at Guri at all tho, i really like what he’s bringing to the table so far.

    Dach is such a beast, so fast and smart, his level of compete is though the roof. I missed him.

    Let’s just take a minute to think, Kent turned Romanov and an unmotivated Petry for Dach and Matheson.

    Honorable mention to RHP for his nonstop work in front of the net, he created himself a few good chances.

  2. real fun game, Matheson and dach are fucking ballers

    xhekaj not available for any game vs boston is a travesty

  3. HabChronicle

    Zukes with his ~~second~~ **THIRD**-straight two point night, KIRRR ↙️….BYYY ↘️ ….DAAAAAACCHH 🙅‍♂️ with his second goal in two games since coming back. Cant be too mad about this, everyone fought hard.

    (edited)

  4. Sentenced2Burn

    Perfect tank game

    Nick and Kirby have giant whopping peeners like wow

  5. FakeCrash

    Fingers crossed for a Ducks win later tonight

  6. BillyShears19

    Played well. Big 0 points on the road. Fuck the Refs.

  7. thomas_bombadill

    Refs are so bad it’s impressive at this point

  8. sean_psc

    This is literally the only game I can think of this season where we outshot the other team by a wide margin. There might have been others, but none stand out.

    Anyway, Suzuki and Dach scored, we lost, and most of the other relevant games broke our way tonight too (we just need Pittsburgh to come back and beat Dallas). A good day.

    Evans put in a lot of hard work in this one.

  9. jhenry137

    This game pissed me off so much. I’m sure it was a fun one but man I hate the damn bruins.

  10. DDDenver

    Flyers win, Panthers lose, we maintain our low spot even though Zuke and Dach score.

    Hell, what’s not to like.

  11. realm_fury

    I’m happy Pasty didn’t get 50. Good tank game.

  12. Shifty_Pickle826

    Matheson and Dach were cooking something fierce tonight. If Matheson scored on the spinorama, that’s easily goal of the year. Enjoyable game all around, despite the terrible officiating.

  13. Grizz709

    The guys fought hard. I did like some of the setup plays between the younger guys. Definitely looking better, and we don’t even have some of the regulars in there right now. Not to mention some more of the newbies that we have now.

  14. Not saying we would’ve with better refs but the officiating was dreadful.

  15. Acidraindrops22

  16. Predictable and desirable result.

    We’re putting some distance between us and the Yoted/Flyers while remaining within 6 pts of the Ducks.

    Anaheim needs to go on a tear.

  17. sean_psc

    At this point with most teams have 10-11 games left, the range of possible draft outcomes has narrowed considerably, especially with respect to our pick. We’re six points back of fourth and four points clear of two other teams in sixth and seventh. With only ten games left to play, it’s fairly unlikely we move in either direction, especially as both the Flyers and the Coyotes are playing well at the moment (a real relief with Philadelphia in particular, who were in absolute freefall for a while).

  18. Drouin has really been stepping up lately, that pass to Gurianov was like watching one of his Mooseheads highlights, even if tonight it didn’t produce a goal, the new found effort is noticed

  19. thomas_bombadill

    Would y’all trade Floridas first for Dubois? I hope Kent doesn’t do it and sits tight. I’d rather get some good young talent in this deep draft and risk not getting him as a UFA then guarantee having him

  20. MildlyResponsible

    I watched it on delay distracted at work. Why wasn’t there a penalty on Boston at the end of the second for the blatant leaping elbow to the head of Evans?

  21. Offthepine

    What in the holy fuck was that officiating?

    Rat should’ve gotten a 10 min misconduct for that pummeling of Evans on the ground in the 1st and settled everyone down.

  22. marquetteian

    If we had the sheriff back in the lineup none of that nonsense would have happened

  23. shadopup

    I hope Suzuki can beat his personal best 61 pt season.

    I hope Dach can go a goal scoring tear and reach 20 goals.

  24. I’m always content when Suzuki, Dach, Gurianov are getting points. Matheson’s always been sneaky good too.

    Wish Allen was finishing off the season stronger. He’s from the same province as I am so I’ve always had a soft spot for him.

  25. tehsdragon

    Zukes and the Dachtor 2 points, the boys fought hard against the big, bad Bruins, but came short with an L in regulation. Philly won, FLA lost, we take those.

  26. CheetahLynx83

    Fuck the Bruins. Fuck every single one of them.
