Not sure that's where our money should go, though. Unless you deal Lindholm, which I'd be okay with. I actually was thinking I'd offer Coyle and Lindholm for Hanifin, Elias Lindholm and decent draft picks, if those two indicated they'd sign now contracts with us. It'd be worth it for them, because those are two FAs who won't re-sign and leave for nothing. Meanwhile, it gives us a #1C and recoups some of our picks (maybe the two 2s). While not taking a whole lot of our cap space for next year. Hanifin is 3 years younger than Hampus and I'm not very high on H. Lindholm thesis days. I don't think there is much chance they do something near that radical during the season. Hampus has a full NTC for another 3 years and he seems to like it here. Calgary is usually on every player with a partial NTC list because they don’t wanna live there Hampus is not what he was last season but honestly he’s still probably worth his money. Guys not providing a ton offensively so far and he takes too many minors but he’s a horse for them. Would be nice for him to get back to last season’s form, he was a legit Norris candidate. This is more than likely what he is going forward, maybe with a little more offensive production I was hoping he would forget to leave Calgary off his 15 team list, or would accept a trade if they threw him a few million extra. The way he gives out NTCs is one of Sweeney's worst traits. The fact that guys like Forbore and Lucic even got them is beyond ridiculous. |

Great. Bad call so we'll give you another two for arguing about it. Gotta love refs.

So far this is the best game they’ve played in awhile. So far.

Another horrible call.
These announcers are just killing themselves to justify all the garbage.

Very good win.
Loved seeing Lohrei get another and Geekie get rewarded for hustling around the dirty area

Very good win. Loved seeing Lohrei get another and Geekie get rewarded for hustling around the dirty area It was a strong game from Lohrei even if you ignore the goal. Which you shouldn't, because he did several good things in a row to make it happen. Only real downside to the game is that I really wanted Marchand to score after all the BS he went through. Would have been nice to get a shutout for Swayman but he got lucky earlier anyway on the play McCoy bailed him out on. Best game they've played in a while, though. |

Another well played game
McAvoy may be down for a bit. Looked like he hurt his leg pretty good colliding with the goalie trying to get back

Looked like he hurt his leg pretty good colliding with the goalie trying to get back Update after the game, there's a decent chance he doesn't miss anytime, he had a "stinger". It looked to me like he was very likely to miss some time and I was just hoping it wasn't worse, but they dodged a bullet instead. Geekies been playing well lately, seems like they are saying his name a lot lately and it's usually for a good reason. We need to get Debrusk going and he just might be starting a good streak with 4 points his last 2 games but overall he's been a real disappointment and someone who I thought would need to build off last season. |

Awesome news He needs to chill out around the net sometimes, he’s always either plowing into the goalie or dumping guys on the goalie |

Excellent game last night.
Hope it's true that McAvoy avoided serious injury.. Don't mind at all if he misses today, as long as it isn't significant time.

They seriously need to be asking the league if there it some league mandate to screw the Bruins.
I am not a whine about the refs guy generally, but this is getting so out of hand.
Can we juts plaster Gs when they leave the blue from now on? Probably only if it's done to us is it okay.

Only downside of last night was Merkulov hitting the post. He looks like he belongs- nothing sensational so far but responsible and you can tell there are good offensive instincts there. Did a real nice job of quickly changing the angle on his shot that rang iron

When it took so long to make the call, I said to the Mrs. the only reason it can be taking this long is because the are looking for some bs loophole to not call goalie interference and sure as shit I nailed it. It was a bs call and the league is up to shenanigans, I don't know if it was a spread call or something but can anyone really argue any different??? |

That call should’ve been pretty easy, it’s written clearly in the rules. That’s why it’s insane to me they made the call they did. Absolute trash call.

They seemed allergic to the puck for like the first half of the game. Passing it directly to the Pens or just dumping it where no B's could get to it.
Great comeback. Shame they don't get a point out of it.

The legend of Trent Frederic grew even larger tonight
2 goals and he hurt the guy that drilled Poitras late. Might be becoming my fav player.

Mostly was watching the national Championship but was watching for the tying goal. Everything about that play was awesome.

Funny how when we have had more PPs they avoid calling more penalties on the other team but it doesn't work the other way for us.

That's a shame, but a well earned point at least.
