Whole (frank) that was an awful call and benning given the chance should do the same thing again. He played the puck but somehow becomes immune to being hit?

After all the shenanigans he pulled earlier, I’m thinking the refs weren’t keen on giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Traitor.

Read it again. I said “almost”.

I missed all that so fair enough. Don't piss off the refs. Ask Alex burrows about that.

Hang me please.

NO...do not mention Andrew Ference, ever.

He was far and away the worst Capt.t..n of the Oilers in history (I can't even type it). The only reason he was even given that letter is because he and Eakins shared the same passion for neon-vegan-fitness-raves.

This player under-performed on the ice consistently, but it was HE who was utterly distracted by off-ice activities. I recall specific instances when the team lost a game and within minutes...MINUTES...Ference was tweeting about his next 5am run or workout with his twitter and social media followers.

This guy was a joke of a player and a total joke of a team leader. Anything he says is pure nonsense and cannot be taken seriously at all. I bet he is just sour because he was such a loser that he didn't get invited to any team functions.

What a loser...wow. I can't believe he is still making excuses 4yrs later.

Stick your head back down the rabbit hole! This can't be a serious comment it's got to be a joke.

Khaira has been very good since being moved into the top 6.

How many goals has he got since being moved up?

With how Jones has been playing this year I feel like he can handle being on the 3rd pair to help out till Klefbom comes back

Injuries do this. You seen Boston's D corps this year? Most team's D corps look rough when they lose one of their top-2, especially ones that are already missing one of their top-4.

An injury like this might be a good time to pursue another blueliner. Even if Sekera is right around the corner, he'll still need time to get up to speed which will likely- and SHOULD- include a conditioning stint. Gunnarsson is a favourite of mine, should be cheap from a losing team like St Louis and he did well under Hitch.

Maybe if offense is the concern, add a guy like Gustafsson from Chicago; he's an adventure in his own zone but converts on his favourable matchups pretty well.

Holy sh11 guys...howzabout we don't trade Nuge...ever.

He has become the backbone of the team, a total complete player.

Big Win

Nuge is the trigger man on that line. Khaira’s level of play hasn’t necessarily translated to points, but he does have 4 assists in 5 games.

That'd be a nice pickup. Think Benning and a 1st would do it?

Any word on Klefbom?

Yes indeed.

Your turn now. I expect a 10 goal explosion vs the Flyers.
