He and Barron have both looked weak for a long time now....why they continually play while Kovacevic languishes in the pressbox and Wifi is left in Laval is beyond me.

I've seen enough of Barron....he has been stinking it up for weeks now. Soft...constantly getting pushed around, losing puck battles, and messing up clearing chances. He needs a one way ticket to Laval, and he can take Armia with him. Recall Wifi immediately.

Attaboy Slaf....another strong game, a scrap, and the shootout winner.

Sabres taking liberties out there...I want The Sherrif back in the lineup

So happy for Josh Anderson; hopefully now he can relax and score at something resembling a regular clip for him. Slaf looked good tonight...offered up a glimpse into what he might become once fully developed.

Monty has made some beauty saves, and Newhook is having himself a game!

Gallagher back to looking like a total bum tonight: -2, and cost us a point with the idiotic double minor late in the game. He should watch the Boston game from the pressbox.

There were some great saves made, but there were also too many high/wide shots on great chances that let Markstrom off the hook. Agreed...he makes big mistakes far too often.

Sigh...the lack of shooters who can finish on any regular basis bites us again.

Total no-show by the team...the bums deserve to be bag skated at 7am tomorrow morning.

They went on the road and played the best team in the league, a team with size and skill that would have given them fits the last two seasons....and they outplayed them for large stretches of the game and came out of it with a point. That's a solid result.

Exactly. The purely logical part of my brain is saying that the Devils will win handily, but after watching New England beat Buffalo this past Sunday I am reminded that outcomes don't always make sense.

First time I've seen Gallagher earn his game pay in a loooooong time.

I can't watch any more of this garbage. Minny owns us the way Aaron Rodgers owns the Bears.

I was of the 'give him 10 games to maybe prove he's turned it around some, then pressbox him if he still stinks' mentality. But after watching him for two games, I don't think we can afford to give him that long with him being as useless as he is now. If he shows nothing in the next 3, then let him sit and eat hot dogs.

He's been an absolute bum.

I don't put much stock in preseason games, but...it sure feels like the same old "horrid powerplay, lack of finish" story.

Hey, ham sandwiches can be big ticket items in some places nowadays: https://nypost.com/2023/04/14/inflation-raises-price-of-ham-and-cheese-sandwich-in-nyc-to-29/

I remember watching that game too. That and the Flyers Penguins 5OT game stand out in my memory as the best long games I've watched.

Now that the Oilers are out, I look at the remaining teams and ask myself who I want to win the cup. I dislike Carolina (history with Habs), not a fan of the Kraken (too new, the far-left city they represent, dorkiest home barn name in the league)...so I guess it'd be most palatable for me if Dallas or Florida win it all.

Same. Back then, out of market hockey games were not a common on TV. You'd get the odd glimpse of a series featuring American teams on TSN, which was the only sports channel on Canadian cable.

Can't help but feel disappointed that we didn't have some luck and move up a bit. By the time we pick, Fantilli will definitely be gone, and almost surely Carlsson will be gone too. Michkov will surely fall, so we have to pray someone takes Benson over Smith if we want a blue chip centre prospect.

EXACTLY!

Screw the position of that Florida pick we hold...I want the Leafs GONE!!!!
