The Isles just tied it up late. They’ll jump the Pens in the standing by at least a point. Although we have 2 games at hand on them.


Dallas gave a point to the Caps too.

Hahahaha. That’s a classic

The story is absurd from end to end. We were originally planning on all getting in to Vegas Saturday early in the morning but since our reservations at Circa started at noon, we were like “hey let’s just push back to Friday night, all agree to take it easy and go to bed early just so we can hit Circa running.” Well, that didn’t work out. And then around 10:30 we got wind of a midnight Ja Rule concert in the casino we were at and I started pushing. Everyone ended up refusing but a group of girls there had adopted me as essentially their court jester while we were (frank)ing around at the casino bar and offered to pay my $30 cover. I said hell yeah and then woke up in a bathroom stall with my pants down four hours later in the same casino with no phone and no wallet. My wallet showed up completely in tact with nothing stolen the next day at the casino, so I wasn’t robbed, but my old phone is currently in Oakland according to FindMy. Don’t even want to know what I did to lose it.

Yikes. That sounds like a horror story. I hope it all ended well for you. Because I’ve heard stories like this where it ends much much worse.

It'll be 3 games in hand on them, no?

Yeah it was a no harm no foul situation. I have a really bad track record of blacking out and losing stuff which obviously needs to be reigned in at age 30 but nothing bad actually happened this time around.

I'd keep rolling the PP like last game (and late the game before) . I know that personnel setup didn't convert but it looked souch more full of life and urgency, had a number of good looks.

I know it's a bye week coming but there's a lot of teams playing Monday to Wednesday... And I think it's crazy the Pens aren't one of those teams. The schedule has been fn wack for them for weeks now. Hard to keep a groove going.

Yeah dude. Just drink cheap beer and smoke weed. I’ve been doing that for like 10 years now and my life’s greatly improved.

I like our second line of Rakell/Eller/Puustinen. They got us a goal and played well last night. Puustinen is one of our top points per 60 guys. He just needs to start burying his opportunities.

With his emergence and Poulin starting to play well in WBS. It's time to go younger, long overdue as a matter of fact. Trade Acciari and Smith, it shouldn't be difficult.

Absolutely. The best our PP has looked is when Puustinen is on it.....go figure. Not sure why Sullivan didn't stick with it a month ago. Actually, that's not true. I am sure why he didn't stick with it.

This schedule sucks. Mid Feb through the end of the season is gonna be rough for an old team.

It sounds like there’s some exciting movement in the standings! With the Isles tying it up and potentially jumping ahead of the Pens, and Dallas giving the Caps a point, it’s definitely shaping up to be an interesting race.
