So I haven't been around these forums for very long so I don't know much. But from what I can tell the same guy always does these graphics and I've been thinking that's pretty awesome. So thank you sir.

This makes me a sad panda.

That's unfortunate, he was beginning to look like a hockey player.

Doesn't make or break our team though.

What you said. Thought he's looked pretty good lately but don't think this is a game changer. Hell maybe Ian White can use this time to sort something out.

Do hope he gets better quick as possible though, sucks for anyone to be injured.

Wait you mean our third and fourth lines won't do our scoring every game? Top lines need to be changed, this is just getting stupid. Yeah our second line is good defensively, too bad we need to score. If I see Abdelkader or Cleary bumble more pucks I'm gonna throw some kind of temper tantrum.

Anyone notice the last 3 or so games we've been seeing a lot of 5 on 5 hockey? I'm seeing plenty of plays and thinking "oh jeez something is about to be called" on either side, and it hasn't been! I'm totally digging this, really enjoyable to watch some 5 on 5.

Why did Tatar only get like, 30 seconds with Datsyuk again? Finally shake up the lines to kickstart a, let's be honest, stagnant offense only to go right back to the same old terrible second line after Tatar fails to get a hat trick in two shifts. I think the second line is pretty reliable defensively, but Datsyuk should not be centering a grind line.  

Edit: I don't mean to sound like I'm whining. Definitely glad we won. Just wish the victory was uh... more convincing.

Refs suck. That isn't new. Missed calls, happens every game. Again it's nothing new.

Did it cost us the game? No. Should we have been on a pp? Sure, maybe. We also could have had a shorty scored against us. So skip the hypotheticals and deal with what the people who influence the game the most; the players.

Kronwall floating up, Emmerton leaving kopitar after taking down Ericsson.

Franzen virtually unsighted all night.

Pavel taking penalties on PKs, one an iffy call at best, the hook was fine. Busts his ass all game to provide scoring chances to have cleary and abdelkader do nothing with it.

Zetterberg and Brunner weren't great tonight I didn't think.

You can piss and moan about refs and penalties they called or didn't call point is the players lost this one, the refs didnt lose it for us.

Uh, wrong. While I can safely say I'm usually against using the refs as an excuse, to say they didnt cost us this game is ridiculous. They absolutely deflated our teams momentum, especially considering they wouldnt call squat against the kings. Hockey is just frustrating to watch these days. All these penalties just ruin the game.
