NAK has been a forechecking demon the past little while, so I doubt its him.

Its a tough call. Convention would say its Bunny who comes out but he hasn't played is way out.

As the cliche goes, its a good problem to have.

Personally I think I move Patrick to 4c.

I realize it's against Buffalo who as a team is disinterested defensively but Lindblom seems to be coming on.

Please tell me you guys can see the difference in speed and passing in flyers game is much better than yesterday.

Pretty much the same as yesterday.

Nice.

Or at least be in on the scoring. Have an effect on the game in a positive way. Ive been watching NP a lot when he is on the ice. He does seem to be trending in the right direction, going to the tough areas, imposing his will on the game. Yesterday more than today, but he needs to keep getting in there and playing less timid.

I thought the opposite. I thought he regressed yesterday but is better today. I want to see him shoot more. He made some pass attempts today where the play was there but shooting may have been a better choice.

see yall buffalo stinks easy game

JVR redirects are a thing of beauty.

Yes he was disappointed he didn’t get that other one from g.

Fair enough. In both games overall he is trending up. Lets hope it continues.

he played an excellent game yesterday, especially from a passing standpoint.

Overall he seems to be getting his legs back. The vision is there.

Am I the only one thinks of Gene Hart every time he hears the name Ristolainen?

We obviously need a 1A) or 1B) defensemen I’m not saying provorov is not an alpha in anyway but it’s just what needs to happen.

How and where do we find this option? Who has to go (if needs to be trade) to make it happen?

Hart feeling it now. He looked a little squirrely at the beginning of the game. Moving too much, scrambling a bit. Now he has that economy of motion and efficient play he has when he is on.

Hayes has to lose the stupid that seems to have taken hold of him the last few games.

hayes playing like poop today

Don’t let up. Need to lock down this 3rd period. Important kill.

hayes playing like poop today, and really since last year playoffs

Agree

He looks bored out there. Farabee and Hart had great games

see buffalo sucks they can't beat us we can't beat boston

Glad to see Hart get the shutout. He deserved it.

Happy for Hart. He needed that and happy the effort in front of him was better. Hope this translates over to the next pivotal 3 against Pittsburgh.

Back to back shutouts very rare!

Not to be a downer after a nice win, but NP again w/ 0 shots for the third game in a row on the top-line.

re--oh

mission accomplished, 4 points this weekend. Hopefully this is a spring board to a good week. What a pass by Farabee on that 3rd goal, wow!

Really? I hadn't noticed

I do think he’s been playing better the last couple games, but it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if they did sit him one game once TK comes back. I do think they’ll probably do what MB said in a previous post though. Drop Laughton to 4C, Patrick 3C, sit Bunnaman.
