They need one more! Can't sit back for a whole 20 minutes.

Benning had him pencilled in all summer. I don't think they are sending JV back to junior next year.

I get that Virtanen's game is better suited to an earlier start in the NHL, and he certainly has the size for it, but a lot of people were pencilling Shinkaruk into the lineup as late as training camp

Benning and Linden both said, to make the club you need a mans body ( strike one against Shink) and be responsible when you don't have the puck ( strike two)

JV has the physical body ,so let's see how his over all game is when he gets here.

Can anyone comment on his defensive game? I think that will be the main factor, and is a reason why I think Jensen will get the nod over JV

Sbisa just destroyed Jagr

That was a great hit

Of course Burrows decides to get involved

Bernier missing a great chance and can't lift the puck...I'm shocked!

That was a turn of events.

We traded a 2nd and 3rd for him. Then matched the Blues 2.5m offer sheet. Then traded him to the panthers with grabner and a first for Ballard.

In Gillis we trust

You know your team sucks in faceoffs when sportsnet labels a 53% winning percentage in the facoffs as circle dominance.

All of those moves were ironclad Scooby. You need guys like Bernier to win the President's Trophy

Huge block from Edler. I hope we start seeing him throw some more bombs from the blueline. The lack of D scoring is a bit of a concern

I was thinking the same thing

Faceoffs are overrated unless you have a truly elite guy who can win around 60% or a guy who sucks at 40%. The rest of them are gonna have on and off nights.

That solves that.

Miller > Schneider

(frank)ing Calgary, trying to make a game of it late again. Gotta respect that teams heart.
