Which save was better, Price on Risto or Lehner on Galchenyuk? Lehner's was spectacular partly because it looked like he was defending an imaginary net next to the net before the shot was taken! What an awesome save though.

Win still feeling great this morning. The 3 poster boys for criticism all scored. Franson and Bogo both did something to remind you they suck then scored right after too. Franson with a fluttering shot on goal with no one in front before commercial break, I thought for sure Bogo was gonna turn the puck over right before the rush in OT when he sent the puck around the boards to an unsuspecting Kane. Just what Bogo needed to boost his confidence a bit.

I thought the Lehner save on Galchenyuk was best. That goal was labeled and he had half the net. A beauty.

Fedun is better than Gorges. assuming we ever get all our D healthy again, Gorges should be the one to sit. Someone will give Fedun a one way contract next year
- jcragcrumple


That should be us. If they let Fedun walk it will be another huge mistake. Solid, low-cost defenseman don't just fall into your lap and this guy has earned at least the 6-7 spot on this club.

pleasantly surprised by his play, started off as a tire fire in his own end but really looks like a solid #6.

Agreed. I like the way he plays - creative and borderline risky. At $750k he's a steal. A perfect 6-7 d that can move the puck.

I don't think Murray gets enough credit for Fedun and Falk. Without that depth, we would be sunk

So if this team is within 5 points of a playoff spot at end of February, are they buyers or sellers? How many players get moved?

his credit for fedun is washed out by the fact that the D is somehow worse when it's healthy

5 points in this nhl with the amount of teams you have to jump needs something like a 10-2 run just to claw back in. He's said numerous times he won't mortgage the future for that kind of run

Hopefully both.

Try and get a young speedy bottom 6 winger for someone like Franson or Kulikov instead of asking for a 2nd or 3rd.

Justin Bailey now has 25 goals in his last 50 games in Rochester

11 games in 18 days in February before the bye week. That is nuts.

It should be interesting. I'm really not sure what they would do. Maybe a little of both.

They jumped a few teams already. Lina about the only team in their way to the last wild card that is a concern at this point. They got games in hand on the rest. They gotta make hay while the sun's out in February. With that schedule intensity, the entire EC will have games in hand on them by the end of that month.

Price put a lot of fluff on that one for the fans. Reminded me of Orr diving on the game winning Cup goal in '71 (??). Drama.

Sellers. Ideal world - Franson, Kuli, Gionta, Kane, Nilsson. If you could somehow get rid of Gorges and/or Moulson that would be incredible.

This would open up spots for Bailey, Baptiste, Nylander, Guhle and cap room for a Top 3 D-man and Top 6 forward.

Sign Fedun and bring back Nilsson during Free Agency.
