Blah...I kinda knew who it was..but couldn't think of the name, so I had to google it. Won't spoil it for any who want to guess though.

PK was a second . Now when a team drafts high they have done their homework . You have never seen this kid play . He has the bloodlines . How do you he is not going to be good pick high in the draft. I have seen him 3 times so far and does not disappoint. Going January 24th to see him in London.

Of course the teams do their homework but that doesn't matter something could happen to the draft pick he can take longer to develop I would rather take a risk on a winger ,center than a defenseman

I didn't watch the game too closely, did he play well?

The 2nd goal looked like it jumped last second, but I couldn't quite tell if it was deflected for sure or not. The 3rd was just something fluky.

He seemed on top of his game, making the nice glove saves, playing the puck with confidence. None of the 3 goals he let in were "bad" goals.

I know the game was totally different then and there were virtually no high shots, because they'd just do the same to your goalie, but that is insane.

Lehner was one of the only positives tonight. The whole team looked flat for most of the game. Girgensons injured, didn't come back. Kane took a slash to the leg limped off the ice towards the end of the game but stayed on the bench.

Yes, Craig MacTavich.

You have lost objectivity.

No bad goals by Laynore. I'm happy with his performance. Defense continues to hurt us.. Granted, offense didn't produce. Looked good except for the score sheet.. Where it matters. Oh well. Moving forward. Looking forward to Lehner succeeding.

Cheevers was pretty cool. Had my own home made copy.

Just saw Ex Machina last night on Amazon. In a word, bizarre. In more than one, it was very good, a total mind(frank), and somewhat thought provoking.
- Wetbandit1

I liked it

that game sucked. Why do we have no net front presence until 3 minutes left of the game when we're losing?
