  1. Sneaky play. He didn't have to lean into Bo like that and drive him down to the ice. No attempt at avoidance.
  2. I have to admit, when I saw the notification of a reply by Deb I was "uh oh" . You are a better fan than I. Usually always able to look at things half full. I respect that. Maybe I shouldn't have responded to the original post. I wasn't being critical of what he did, just amazed at how low the bar we've set now for Louie, that he has a game where he makes one noticeable play, and its like for some, if they had the opportunity, he'd have earned one of the game stars. He did fine And he'll probably be fine tonight too. Go Louie Go!
  3. It was a good play. But a play that is normally expected by a professional NHLer. But I get it, Louie's bar is set very very low for some. He did an adequate job standing in for Motte, a perennial 4th liner who earns less than million. Great. Lets celebrate. That was Louie at the top of his game, well rested and all p'd off about sitting, coming back in to prove everyone wrong. I'm not complaining about his play, I just don't think there should be a double standard. He played OK. But a number of other players played better than OK that game. Just keep things in perspective.
  4. I don't get all the Eriksson praise for that game. Is it because he didn't screw anything up? Cause an own goal? Oh right, he forechecked once, going into the boards with two other players. He didn't come up with the puck, but he did dislodge it, So yeah, no assist on the play, didn't actually come up with the puck on that forecheck, but he did engage in the play, and it caused a turnover which bounced out to Beagle, to set up Schaller.. WooHoo! Extend him to another 6 years before anyone else nabs him! Did anyone notice him much at any other time in that game? Play Gaudette ffs. But LE we all know will play, he'll play on crutches, because of his sucky contract.
  5. Hughes mentioned he's been called "Q ball". Pretty good. But Huggy Bear will stick. One question; how does Sutter pull out a character from an old 70's American kitch TV show as the first name he can think of? Okay, a theory; Starksy and Hutch are Boeser and Petey, and Huggy is the third piece, the backup defender.
  6. Alright. whew. Now get that second point and all is forgiven.
  7. On top of that, doesn't the NHL want the stars to shine? BS not to call that, which was developing into a scoring chance.
  8. Don't know if its true or not but it seems like goals for is way up all across the league
  9. That late goal should help to keep them on their toes going into next period. In theory
  10. I can't believe they let go Daliwal and Auld, but kept Sat Shah
