Lateralous

I was pissed about the refs blowing Akira's regulation win with the BS calls but it was kinda worth it for the Luke Hughes OT goal. We jumped to our feet the second Hischier pushed the puck up to Jack because we all knew what was coming.

It's early enough in the year that if he shows he really belongs, you "burn" the year and get him for 3/4 of a season. I mean it's clear the way this season is going that we're always going to need an extra body back there and none of us want it to be Smith. If he looks really out of place after 8 games, send him back and save the year.

fvck. Luke just got smashed

I'm more worried about the Capitals. They won again last night and have games in hand which tonight is the Ducks (free 2 points?). I didn't have them taking up a playoff spot before the season started, so this is concerning.

It was a really pretty snipe though. Glad to see he’s not just collecting garbage points

Funny seeing Trouba out there. I could have sworn I saw him with a chop to another man’s head over the weekend that was a sure fire suspension.

Yeah, I would prefer to see how Schmid looks if he could ever get a run of games from Lindy.

Spoiler: It’s not

I don't mean this to be snarky but should I put much stock in any chart that shows Edmonton with 3 of the top 6 D in anything?

I'll be in the building. LGD!!!!

Well, looks like I picked the wrong game to head out and miss the 3rd period. The 2nd was tough to watch but glad they figured it.. Lazar is easily an upgrade from Miles Wood for 1/3 the cost. I'll be at the game in Philly on Thursday. Akira better be in net.

Schmid needs to get a run of games because right now, VV is not the answer
