Victory! Pleasant lack of 3rd period 3-goal-lead anxiety! SHUTOUT!

The wings have disregarded themselves tonight.

Kostin is an absolute horse. Deslauriers is one of the last true "enforcers" in the league he was looking to go for a few shifts there. Kostin stood right in there toe to toe. I love this dude in the lineup and sure hope he's not the healthy scratch when Kane gets back, otherwise dudes like Deslauriers will run around all night hitting Raymond/Larkin/Dcat etc.

That was such a crazy deflection. Good for Seider though.

LGW!

Kostin is a pretty big, pretty tough, dude. I don't think the three of us could hold him down. Also, the phrase is "run a train" not "do a train". I'm very very pleased with Augustine's play so far this year, but I'm going to need to see him play well against AHL competition before I'm ready to say he's in that conversation. So far he's been good at the World Juniors (tons of s***ty goalies have been) and good in the NCAA (a VERY low scoring league). Until he proves it against professionals I'm going to hold my judgement.

Is Lyon/Cossa next year. Husso and Reimer are dust.

That's a great win. The Flyers are solid and we pretty much dominated that game. I love that Lyon went out a responded after a shaky game against Dallas. He's far from perfect but he has earned the net and I'm really loving how the standard in Detroit is changing this season. You want a spot on the roster you have to go out and earn it. That is going to bode very well for this team down the line.

Vegas next. To be the best, you gotta beat the best.

This is our best regards I love Torts. Team didn't play for 58 minutes? I'm not pulling the goalie for you in the last 2. Suffer like the scum you have become.

My all-time favorite "mickey-ism" is his thing about "Hudson Bay rules" lol like there's no law man in Hudson Bay, so anything goes out there. MCCARTY DROPS THE GLOVES, HOLY JUMPING ITS HUDSON BAY RULES OUT THERE

I think it's fascinating that fighting in hockey is a penalty but not an ejection, not sanctioned but not prohibited. Just like it's sometimes wise to hook or trip someone (e.g. on a breakaway) and take the penalty, sometimes it's wise to fight and take the penalty. Fighting in hockey is basically treated the same as intentionally grounding a football. Sure you get a penalty but it's often necessary.

This is actually the first season in a long long time that I might actually have one tiny sad feeling when these guys leave. Perron, Sprong, Fischer, Ghost. They've all done exactly what we needed them to. In another life they would have helped filled out our cup team.

The only real enforcer left who can't seem to hang is Reaves. Enforcer is just become something your Abdelkaders have to do instead of having a whole position for a guy like McGrattan I'm liking the Gadhovich kid in Florida

Flyers are ahead of us in the standings.

I still wish our defense would step into guys in the open ice more often. Walman just passed up a chance to kill a guy.

Copp shortie! Holy cow!

Too bad for them they didn't have their rape goalie tonight

Larkin is so damn good. He was drafted as a guy with good wheels and decent two-way play and he's turned himself into a genuine offensive force.

D-Bo$$!

Torts is just a coach, he can't hurt you Torts:
