I know. Could you imagine what his stats would look like if he finished even 50% more of the opportunities he's gotten this year?

If he was scoring at his avg of ~9% of shots. He would have 15-16 goals instead of 12.

Reinhart was our best forward last night.


one play i wish we had back was when Eichel was in with Kane. Instead of Eichel shooting high, he should have passed to Kane who would have had a tap in.

The concept of "rewarding" a player a shootout attempt because of a good game he played irritates me to no end. Love it or hate it, the shootout is now an important aspect of the game. Send out the players who are best at it, just like the power play and the penalty kill. And it's not just Bylsma that does it. Most coaches seem to.

I guess for me it depends. I can see both sides of it. If a guy is having a good game, they may feel that their confidence is high. That can tend to lead to better attempts and stuff. I can see both sides of it. Kane tends to not hit the net it seems, but he did score last night earlier in the game.

And just think how many times he shoots and it doesn't even hit the net. A good portion of his "misses" probably aren't even registering as shots on goal.

I did like Reinhart's game last night as well. I do, however, have an issue with him getting put on his ass by that little rat Marchand. He can't let a guy that small drop him like that so easily.

Last night.

The Good:
Kane - was a force on the forecheck, everywhere.
Samson - who knew he would be such a good net front presence with his other skills?
Johnny - just because of that glove save in overtime on Bergeron.

The bad:
O'Reilly - looks defeated out there lately.
Bylsma - shootout choices.
Officiating - very inconsistent.


The ugly:
Bogosian - walked around like he was pylon by Marchand on the game tying goal.
Foligno - injured again.

While I agree with the sentiment, that hit had just as much to do with a veteran taking advantage of a rookie as it did body strength. Marchand caught him when he wasn't paying attention.

I know. I just really hate Marchand, so to see Reinhart go down so easily when he hit him irritated me.

He'll never do it probably because he's done the same all his life, but I think he needs to change the curve of his hockey stick. The way that thing takes off on him can be remedied by a flatter blade.

Those two have the worst kind of chemistry.

On the other hand, Reinhart battled Chara on his goal.

I fully expect Reinhart to be a minimum 60 point player in this league at full potential.

re: McGinn

Don't be so quick to believe he'll automatically get traded.

was he like that in Winnepeg? hopefully he is just snake bitten and he will turn it around and do just that to become a top scorer on this team

agreed they should not be on the ice together

Marchand had a nice play when he undressed bogo.. i can't believe bogo just did make him sit down

It's being nitpicky. I know. I just really hate Marchand.

That play infuriated me. Bogo needs to man up and take the body. Don't let a guy just skate by you. His lame attempt at a stick check was just awful

For as much as I dislike him, I would gladly take him on this team. The guy has a load of talent.

If we resign Mcginn I don't want in for more than two years. Fasching, Bailey, Baptiste, and whoever we draft this year will be ready and I don't want him taking up a roster spot
- Smittyx36

If Moulson wasn't on the roster his contract, it would be easy to resign McGinn.

Unfortunately, that is not the case.

I don't get the McGinn love fest. He's having a decent year...perfect time to cash in while he has value. He will end up like Bryan Bickell and be on waivers in 3 years

people love over achievers, esp in blue market towns


in a year where ennis, gionta, moulson, and til recently gus failed to produce numbers anywhere near realistic expectations, mcginn has consistently produced


3 year 13 mil total, or 4 year 16 mil

no more then 4 years should be the offer

I would do it in a heart beat, but I believe Pirri is a supposed locker room cancer
