I know play drops at a certain age. The baffling thing is he used to be a smart, safe player. It seems like his hockey IQ is diminishing with his skills which makes no sense.

Yup. He has lost 3 steps, and just blindly throws it up the boards constantly. Put that on top of his offensive ineptitude and he's just awful.

Whaaat!! DeSmith!

Turn that coffee into a joint, add a second dog, and that’s me and my wife at 39.

Caffeine, THC and vigorous exercise are key components of my functioning and productivity in life haha

He’s been passing it right to the slot. In the d zone. Not even making the “safe” play like scuderi lol

Holy (frank). Stand the (frank) up Jakey boy.

Haha I bet. I have to think the slaw is pretty simple. I think it was just a vinegar-based slaw with thinly sliced cabbage and no other veggies, but I'll have to look it up.

Salt pepper sugar apple cider vinegar and sliced cabbage. Maybe a little bit of celery seed.

Yeah. Just have to work out the ratios. I had the capicolla when I was there, so I'll probably do the same.

That’s my go to. Gabagool add bacon. Now that the HBK sandwich is no more.

Well, we’ve finally reached the point in the game where Geno will be missed.

Guentzel’s diving is becoming a problem.

Too many passes

Make a (frank)ing play! WTF!

Man oh man. 12 shot fakes, turnover is a bad PP strategy.

How is that inside?

Letang has to be a threat to score or he's useless up there.

I know we don't really have a better option but I hate him on the Powerplay.

That PP was atrocious.

Walks in to a one timer with Jake screening the goalie and he shot fakes it lol

He's usually DeStink in shootouts, no?

That PP was atrocious.

90,000 passes does not equal a shot.

He's usually DeStink in shootouts, no?

Correct.

Should of went with Boyle in the shootout.

Correct.
- Rinosaur

Yeah, no one scores for the pens but it’s Desmiths fault.

I’m surprised Jake didn’t fall down on the shootout and look at the Ref.

Stellar performance in OT and the SO by Letang there.

Dumo has to sit on Thursday. His play is just disastrous.
