Max was fine the first three games, just couldn't finish. Still got 17 shots in 3 games. He didn't look great tonight though. That said, he doesn't have a centre who can get him the puck either, and thats always an issue.

Exactly, All four guys are over 25 minutes a night. I'd call that massive minutes. All four guys are also around 2:00 a night on the penalty kill. They are all playing hard matchups. Josi has the most minutes. But the other three, its a very minor difference from 2-4. All are carrying huge loads.

He played well. But they also limited him to just 10 minutes of ice time. Beaulieu just 13 minutes. Weber played just under 30. Markov 25.

He is averaging over 5 shots a game in this series. He's been fine. Just because he hasn't scored a goal, doesn't mean he's playing badly. If he keeps getting 5 shots a night, the goals are going to come.

Syracuse is winning 4-2 in the third. I believe the ice caps play syracuse if they win their game.

My girlfriend was also at the 5-0 comeback game. She wants a kickstarter to attend the rest of this series

Crosbys slash was the same slash we see dozens of times every game. The end result was unfortunate but it wasnt an intentional attempt to injure. Crosby himself takes that same slash more than any other player in the league as he carries the puck more than anyone. I dont think that is the situation that needs this type of retaliation. Are we going to have full out brawls and dirty play at every injury.

Best game ive ever been to live.

I dont care about his faceoff percentage. Hes better on the forecheck and creating havoc in front of the net as a winger. A few percentage points on the draw is meh.

Galchenyuk didnt work with max and radu. Plekanec isnt a 2nd liner anymore Shaw looks better as a wing. Hence the solution 67-24-47 41-27-11 62-14-65

Didnt you start a thread saying you were "tired" of him?

Patch - Danault - Radu Byron - Galchenyuk - Gallagher Lehkonen - Plekanec - Shaw Martinsen - Ott - Mitchell

Those are all true. There is also the whole idea of having a 1-0 lead in what is a low scoring time of year. Best case scenario... the next goal gives you a 2 goal lead.... Worst case, even if you give up the next goal, you are merely back to even. Of course the team that scores first wins over 70% of games.

Whose galchenyuk supposed to pass to that can actually finish??? Preach brother. Say it again.. Cause its correct.

Its chicken shit hockey. Afraid to give up a chance, so we can't put our skilled player on. I don't give a rat's ass about his defensive issues, he's one guy, and Price covers most of the mistakes. Get a guy with skill who can score on the ice.

The guy has led the team in shots and had the best scoring chances of anyone. He's likely been our best forward tonight. Guy gets chances and Lundqvist stops him, and he's the one you blame????

Julien has to take blame for this. A team that lacks offensive weapons can't afford to waste the few weapons they have.

On a team lacking skill, we put our 2nd most skilled forward on the fourth line.

They are not traumatized... its just the same problem we've seen time and again, this year and previous years. Not enough skill to finish the plays they make.

I didn't say it was his fault. I said (sarcastically) that I'm glad he was in the position to take the shot instead of chucky. The clear implication is against the person who put him in that spot.

Putting your second highest PPG guy on the 4th line is a problem.

3 times this period i thought the rangers should have been called for icing and they let it go. Oh and there is dwight king getting the great chance in the slot. Glad its him and not Chuck shooting that.

Why are we using two threads?

Dwight King is pissing me off.
