Top two lines, especially second, and top pairing in Med-Gudas dominated too. Shame. Pk lost them this one.

Does this mean Vinny is in? Oh (frank) no. (frank). No. (frank) NO.

Just when we were getting back in the playoff race this crap happens...

Wow you really thought we were making the playoffs

2 clutch goals from the elite pavelski 1 fluke goal from giroux
- 2Real

And that was Pavelski taking it easy too

He was going to do the faceoff goal G scored but decided it was too passé. Elite players don't copy non elite players

Damn you're giving him too much credit

That's why he scored 2 beauties

No.

No. Send him down. Scratch him. Give him no PP time. Kid has to learn
- Mononoke

Play him on the 4th line

He's gotta come off that first PP unit
- SuperSchennBros

I think they wanted to give Streit some time before putting him back. I think he'll be back on there soon. Ghost would help the 2nd unit too

Not going to lie. I'd rather see MDZ or Ghost take VDV's shifts over Vinny. I'd rather see 7 d and 11 forwards all game. Against the Kings yet.

Nooo ghost should be on the 1st pp

Vinny is going to end up playing 4 minutes

I think the Streit unit is more methodical. G-unit is more fast paced and dynamic. But it can also seem messier in zone. Frankly I think it'd be better if only to improve Streit's trade value getting those points. I mean Ghost is awesome, but Streit has been a truly elite PP QB for a while. He's fantastic at it. They wouldn't lose anything either way.

I just don't know what harm I will do to myself in 4 minutes. Possibilities are endless

Had some time to think about the game and cool down from the loss...

We lost the last 2 games to a weak pacific division

Whatever you think about VDV the player, this is awesome. Go Olivia (his wife):

Didn't like that hit at all. Maybe it was the head contact. Maybe it was the blindside. Maybe it was the predatory aspect of it. Maybe it was the interference.

Maybe it was all of the above.

I love Burns as a player but that was just a hit that cannot be made. If he's not suspended I don't know what the hell to think. I mean Gudas was suspended for giving a guy a close shave. Rinaldo didn't get suspended though for knocking Coots out for weeks. I have no faith in DoPS to do the correct thing.

Imagine at that point in a 2-2 game if they'd gotten a 5 min major with like 6 min left to one of their stars...game changing perhaps.

Another thing. Reading what Olivia posted and the tweets at her (praying for you guys here's to a safe and quick recovery etc) is a reality check.

VdV is someone's son, someone's husband, and (maybe?) someone's dad or someone's brother.

We as fans forget that. I literally said "VdV just died" to my brother after he came back from the bathroom. That's poopty of me. As fans it's just a sports player getting hurt and then poof in 4 weeks he gets better.

I dunno. I'm laying in bed listening to Kendrick Lamar and typing this on my phone. It's rambling and not contributing to anything. Happy almost New Year.

Made sense to me. Happy almost New Year.

Why did everyone assume Raffl got it??
- SuperSchennBros

You just need to look at Analytic s.He is a role player with excellent possession numbers and one of the few players on the team quick enough to react in counter rush situations

Dude I've watched the hit over and over it's a clean hit. VdV only gets koed because his head hit the ice.
