Simmonds taking a stupid penalty

Simmonds taking a stupid penalty

Sure did.  Negates his pretty assist.

 

[azzurri63]

Simmonds pick your spots don't give them an opportunity to get back in it.

 

[ZBBM]

Giordano having a tough game

 

[azzurri63]

It's early but Samsonov plays goalie the way I like goalies to play: quiet and positional.

When he's got time he squares up to the shooters and good rebound control but I find he swims a lot. Even the commentators said that was his issue in the past and I can see that early in the season. If they can get him to not be so active I think he can be a good goaltender.

 

[azzurri63]

Sitting back too much for my liking. A lot of perimeter shooting from the Jets but gotta pick it up.

 

[azzurri63]

Matthews going to bag one on a counter attack. C'mon Papi.

 

[ZBBM]

Beautiful rope-a-dope period so far by the good guys.

I haven't noticed that except for one time tonite when Chris C. pointed it out.

Now, playing the puck is a different matter....

You?d think Matthews has a bad wrist or something.  The last time he went through a slump like this where he was fumbling passes and shots was when he had his wrist surgery

Imagine if we still had Mrazek?

I hope not. I think he's just snake bitten but you're definitely right something seems off.

He is definitely off. Missing the net a lot and his timing isn't on. It'll come though.

Yet he's dishing out some very nice assists.  I just think teams are really plugging him up well right now.  He's not getting many open looks.

 

[azzurri63]

Look at the positive could put us in the running for Bedard.

 

[azzurri63]

Well that goal may put some excitement into the last 2-3 mins.

 

[ZBBM]

Bunting with the sharp-angle DAGGER

 

[ZBBM]

That's a solid win, y'alls.

Left lower back is hindering his range of motion after he took that cross check the previous game.
