Nice save Ray!

greatest player in the world isn't doing crap to generate any scoring chances tonight

This is because the Penguins are idle tonight.

Is Jake playing?
- LJF

evidently about 9 guys were healthy scratches tonight.

LIne change...
Jake to the second and Downie to the first.

Does Raffl know that he is supposed put the puck on net? Not at all impressed with him and I don't get why he is in and not McGinn.

I meant he has been invisible out there.

hopefully Emery realizes he needs a shutout to get the win.

yeah, that's what I meant too.

looks like they are back to normal now.

I actually really like the way Raffl has been playing. His shot is way off, but Couts couldn't hit the side of a barn earlier either.

when you look at this team then at him you realize he's just average

He's better defensively.

but Coots still has his defensive game to justify himself ... not sure what Raffl is doing for the good of the team if he isn't hitting the net with his shots.

Sure, I'd trade him for an upgrade. But even if he is just average, he's still our best Dman, and I don't see why you would trade him and further downgrade us.

I can't figure out if I think that lady from the Dewars commercial is attractive or is actually a dude.

those 2 Flyer fans didn't look too masculine.

I heard this weird rumor that there are more aspects to hockey than shooting

In 6 NHL games this season, McGinn went without a single shot on goal in 3 of them. Raffl's had 3 games with no SOG, but he's played 14 games.
