    lol Ozzie trying to suppress a grin when Ken says the Pens could see their playoff appearances streak end.

    One of the missing. Many such cases! Sad!
  3. "Let that be a lesson to you all. If you talk s*** about this organization, and you're a depth player, we will send you to a slightly more competent organization and you'll get to play with a generational superstar."
  4. Too late, I already declared yours the official one. (I'm thinking maybe we should bring back the GDT signup system.)

    Yo @MabusIncarnate, this here is today's official GDT. You can lock or delete mine. thx!
  6. We can use yours! I feel kinda bad about hogging all the GDTs. I just assume no one else really wants to do them.

    Howard = Average

    Good observation. I've mentioned a few times that Blashill's "scoring chances, not shot counts" philosophy has slowly won me over, but I've only talked about it re: our o-zone play. Our phalanx-esque zone defense is consistent with that philosophy: we're ok with allowing shots if all the shots are coming from outside the danger areas.

    Howard = Average

    I haven't been saying much about Howard or the goaltending in general, mainly because I kinda don't want to jinx things...but it really needs to be said: Howard and Bernier have both been outstanding for us over the past ten games or so. IMO, goaltending's the biggest reason why the team's had a great November. Is this level of goaltending sustainable? Probably not. But this is a good lesson in how valuable solid goaltending can be.

    31 Thoughts [Sportsnet] (That was published before last night's game, which saw Howard boost his SV% to .924.)
  10. Four points behind the 2nd Wildcard Habs and three points ahead of the last-in-the-East Panthers. I like it; I can entertain thoughts of making the playoffs and I can also entertain thoughts of us being a serious contender for Hughes.

  12. Gonna be really interesting to see if he can keep this up.
  13. Correct. When it pays off, I love it. When it doesn't, I hate it. At the end of the day, I think Blashill's right to be preaching the importance of holding the puck and making plays and trying to create big-time scoring chances.
  14. That's what I tell myself! ...while doing my best to ignore our unsustainably good goaltending and our pillow-soft November schedule and our tendency to sleepwalk through the first 20-25 minutes of the games and...
  15. Looking ahead... we've got the defending Cup champs tomorrow and the red-hot Sabres on Saturday. Sabres have won seven straight and, like us, are 8-2-0 over their last ten games. Should be a good test. Also: Happy Thanksgiving!
  16. Not really, no. But the games are entertaining!
