Dobes let in two that he had to stop. Very disappointing to come out of that game without one point at least.

Dach with a lazy hold rather than skating hard....yet again. Useless.

The boys need to go all-out to get 2 points tonight, because travelling to Washington to play the ultra heavy Caps on tired legs tomorrow night is a tough assignment.

Miss him? He does nothing that one could miss: his only memorable moment in the last game was a lazy penalty. He makes maybe one good play every 3 or 4 games that he plays. He's been trading on potential for years, and never realizes a fraction of it.

That's how I'd play it also; prioritize the divisional game. Dobes' bigger body might also be better suited to the traffic in around the crease that Washington's huge forwards will likely generate.

An ugly winm but two points is two points when things aren't clicking. Demidov can't get back soon enough...the power play is broken.

Mike ####ing Matheson....

Demidov out multiple weeks hurts. It was obvious that he was trying to play through something in the first two games...his speed wasn't there.

This is good news...the ones they used before were tiny.

I'll take the point. Many mistakes made, we rang a few off the iron that should have been buried, and blew multiple breakaways. Matheson was ass tonight.

Whenever Marchenko has a big game (and he will have some), we must remind ourselves that they were likely asking for Slaf in return.

It wasn't a work of art, but an opening night win against the Leafs is a nice way to start.

I hope our top 6 has a lights-out showingm Dobes resembles a brick wall, and we come out with a win. Dach and Texier on the 3rd line has the potential to be awful...not feeling great about that combo. One or the other with Xhekaj would look a lot better.

50-27-3-4 2nd place in Atlantic 3rd in the East 103 points for Suzuki 31 goals for Demidov 85 points for Hutson 5th in East for Leafs

Anything that ships Dach out is worth exploring!

I like this creative deal sweetening scenario.

If this gets to arbitration, can the Canadiens present the cost of having their training staff working overtime to constantly treat and rehab his brittle ass as part of their case? Because they should be able to. I hope they give him his walking papers instead...I've seen enough of Mr. Glass.

All these deals going down, and silence where our team is concerned. I'm starting to get nervous.

I'd bet against Raddysh scoring nearly as many goals going forward; Kucherov drawing most of the penalty killers' attention gave him much more room to get off his shot cleanly than will be the case in Toronto.

I could have sworn that there was a trial that debunked the accuser's narrative as not credible, exonerating Hart (and others). Guess you missed that?

Fantastic accomplishment for our captain.

I back Vegas only because I cannot help but hold a grudge...my hate for the Canes goes back to 2002. If you beat us, I wish nothing but misery on your franchise. I still hate the Flames because of the 1989 Cup final.

I won't watch, but I will be following the results of the FInal. #### the Canes...go Vegas!

Pulling the goaltender down 5-1 is just stupid. God Marty pisses me off sometimes.

I can't tell if Nick is exhausted or hurt...but he's definitely not himself.
