Phil!

St. Louis looked way offside on that rush after the penalty ended.

 

[L K]

Wow a 3rd penalty and the second really bad one by St. Louis.

 

[Bullfrog]

Ho-hum, just another two points.

 

[pnjunction]

Yes!!!  Way to get it done

 

[bustaheims]

Kablammo!

Phil Kessel. So hot right now. Phil Kessel.

 

[13th fan]

Wow nice ping pong goal

 

[ZBBM]

They went to the net.  They went to the net.  They went toooooooo wha??

 

[L K]

Kessel's starting another slump I see.

2 PPG in one game.  Wow.  Nice play by the team to get puck movement against the Blues PK.

Ho-hum, just another two points.

For Phaneuf, yeah.

 

[bustaheims]

Ah, okay. I'll take your word on that.

Don't take my word - the box score on NHL.com has been changed to reflect it.

Okay if I don't check?

Ho-hum, just another two points.

For Phaneuf, yeah.

For Bozak!

He's still on pace for 31 pts on the year. He may have improved his +/- but he's had anything but a good season so far.

He was on pace for 50-60 before he was bumped from to the 3rd line by Connolly.  A cut in PP and ice time combined with ice cold wingers like Lombardi and Frattin what can you expect.

True although it's not that hard to get 2nd assists when centering a ridiculously hot Kessel/Lupul line either.

I'd like to see more from the guy is all. If he can only play with world beaters then I question his true value.

How about 2 assists on the PP this period?    He seems to mesh very well with Lupul and Kessel, both shooters with a nose for the net.

I agree there is room for improvement in his offense but he has also made some decent defensive plays while skating on the top line.

 

[bustaheims]

Okay if I don't check? 

Your call.

Things ugly for the Blue Jackets again. Looks like they'll be 10 games below .500 by the end of the night, less the halfway into November. Yikes.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Columbus is down 5-1.  :-\

Although Grant Clitsome, their scorer, may be my new favourite NHL name.

 

[L K]

Wow, how has Columbus not fired their coach?  That goal they just showed was ugly.  Kane had a good 5 seconds to casually skate into the zone and score on that breakaway.  That is a team that has given up less than a quarter of the way through the season.

Scrivens bails out the PK there
