They improved upon my most frequent complaint, that the transition pass is too often to someone not skating.

And kept Toronto from getting any points, it was feeling like Detroit would be lucky to survive with just one.

While neither were great I thought soda was better than Rass.

That was wild.

Are there even any rumblings? It seemed like in the ole days there was always a hurricane of rumors. I don’t even know where to look anymore.

Edvinsson’s got to try and muscle through plays like that.

This appears to be one of those nights where everyone we need to lose is winning. Games aren’t over yet but Boston, Columbus, Tampa and the Rangers are all ahead.

Fortunately just about everyone else lost as well. Wings are further behind Tampa but no worse situated to those chasing them.

Patrick Kane too, right? Though one team less so not as impressive a coincidence.

I think that’s what was intended by some with the name submission contest but the official statement from the Blue Jacket’s organization stated it referenced the Union uniforms.

Yes, but I was responding to a post that seemed to be suggesting it would be preposterous for their team name to be affiliated with an actual blue jacket.

I thought their name was a reference to the Civil War uniforms being manufactured in Columbus.

They are supposed to be a blue jacket/coat.

I was surprised a few times that Boston wasn’t penalized.

I haven’t watched many games this year, but I caught the last half of game 2, and I was impressed with the stick checking effort and effectiveness by the Bruins. Those of you that watch regularly, are any other teams succeeding in this area as well as Boston? The team seems to be bought in. I think it’s fair to recognize this as a distinction between talent and coaching.
