Ovechkin looks terrific so far. 3 goals in 2 games, and he almost had a 4th (went off the pipe, then off Vasi who grabbed it just before it trickled in). Huge for the Caps.

AND AS I TYPE SERGACHEV TIES THE GAME!!! LET'S GO BOLTS!!!!

I don't get his fascination with giving old players extended minutes while passing over younger players like Wahlstrom and Mayfield. Makes no sense.


Wahlstrom was the only isles player to score tonight and when Trotz was asked about him the only thing he said was Ross Johnston and Matt martin want to get into the lineup so every game is important for him lol - the kid is already one of the isles better forwards. Trotz is truly a bizarre coach. I really can’t stand the guy

Does Trotz have a personal vendetta against Wahlstrom? He's looked quite good, but everything Trotz says about him is negative or neutral. Almost like he doesn't want him in the lineup...

Trotz is looking for a reason to take him out. He does this with most young forwards for whatever reason. He did it in Washington with Vrana and Burakovsky, Nashville he had friction with Radulov and filip Forsberg.

Penguins look surprisingly very good so far, and all without Crosby and Malkin. Smashed the Blackhawks tonight, who are on the other end of the spectrum and look surprisingly awful so far-no defense whatsoever, Fleury is getting shellacked, and they keep falling behind early.

Bobcat’s Post Game Notes, Game 2

Jackets win 2-1 in overtime over the Seattle Kraken.

-For the first three periods, Phillip Grubauer was standing on his head with his eyes closed. That was an amazing performance.

-Rosie was playing super hard all game. Heard his name a lot on the radio broadcast.

-ERIC ROBINSON, YOU ROCKSTAR! What a shot to tie up the game!!

-Patty Laine and his drip powers willed us to the win again.

Lafrenière scoring in his first game at the Bell Centre was written in the sky.

Oh f*cking hell. Dallas offense is sometimes just so f*cking miserable. Often times here Bruins' penalty kill has looked more dangerous than Stars' PP.

We can't have Luke f*cking Glendening, Radek Faksa or Jacob Peterson being our only forwards that can score the puck in the net and expect to win games.

That’s what happens when you put Esa f*cking Lindell QB’ing your number one PP.

I think your just overreacting

Marner has been fine. His shots are going to the net, his defensive plays are still sharp. The goals will come

They don't have any better options with Klingberg sidelined. Heiskanen needs to carry everything else. The guy played almost 30 minutes tonight.

Honestly even the most basic things, like making and receiving passes, seem like an insurmountable challenge for this team.
