Off the face off win, Despres with the wicked slapper and the same Sutter scores, way to stay with it. They earned this one!

He gets that shot of quickly. That's one thing I've noticed about him, doesn't try to pick a corner or anything just gets it on net asap.

Soooo sutturd scores two ? That will make Bartley lose his cookies.

If Kapanen improves from here to Saturday the way he's improved from Tuesday to today, he'll have a hat trick and a couple helpers. Totally different player.

Kunitz/Crosby/Kapanen
Spaling/Malkin/Hornqvist
Bennett/Sutter/Dupuis
Comeau/Goc/Downie

Which is precisely why you shouldn't get too excited about his long term prospects this year.

He's just a kid and while he will almost certainly be a contributor in the near future...he will need to show the coaches he can maintain a certain consistency with his NHL game before that is likely to happen.

IMO, Sundqvist is fearless going to the net with skill, some moves and most of all, very good hockey sense. I like what I see from him.

AND he is 6'3" and 210lbs. Where did this guy come from?

Sutter!

I am willing to take that gamble.

Cooke may end his career tonight.

The Swedish elite league. He's been playing against men for a while now. His team won the championship and he had like 6 points in 12 playoff games or something like that

Haters gon hate on Bennett. He will have a break out season this year and he will be a regular on the top 6 by next year, and this team will be the better for it. This kid manages to improve each year despite the fact that he misses so many games due to injury. Hate playing "what ifs" but I'd love to see where he'd be at if he could have stayed on the ice over the past three seasons.

Can he be our top 6 guy we are dreaming of, a true power forward? Kevin Stevens, anyone?

Stuck with my usual, red wine. About 4 glasses though. And, Sundqvist did remind me of a big power forward we have all been dreaming of, not lying there. *Kevin Stevens*

This is exactly what I'm hoping for. Sutter can center a scoring 3rd line IMO, but he will never be the center piece of a true shut down 3rd line. He's just not physical enough. For some teams, triciary scoring is what they need, and that's great, but our top two lines have the two best players in the world, so a third line who's main purpose is putting up points isn't really what we need.

Like I said earlier, I want Sutter on this team this year because I'm liking what I'm seeing with him and BB. However, if HCMJ is smart and gives number 19 his due and promotes him to a top 6 roll, I want Sutter traded and I want Sundqvist to be given a shot at 4C with the idea of moving him to 3C next season. If not that, I want Flats moved during the offseason to make room for Oskar the Grouch. Kid just needs to be here.
