Is that the first time ever Kap got superstar treatment and avoided a penalty?

Leave it to Kap to bring it home.  Rough game, but they battled and won.

KK97. BALLGAME. SUCK IT PENS.

Love how they cut it off for commercials while MAF does his lap. Stay classy regional sports networks funded by gambling.

I 💓 KK97.

Rats, I missed the Faber fight. How was that???

Faber whos been on the ice for a minute or so gets tangled up with Sid  and has to fight a guy fresh off the bench whos probably sat there  whos had maybe had 7 or 8 shifts up until that point  .

Reminder that Zuccarello took a PAYCUT...god what a start.

Lies. Geurin only overpays over the hill vets.

Faber got a pretty good uppercut in at one point.

Held his own pretty well for what I think is his first NHL fight. Stayed on his skates at the least but he ran out of juice quick.

lmfao poor Brock. You can see the disappointment in his eyes that Sidney Crosby played him so dirty in this game. XD 

He had your jersey as a kid, Sid!! Go easy on him!

Well so much for being a top 5 team in the league.  Back to back losses to bad teams on big losing streaks should put that to bed for a while.

This aged well.

That’s three games in a row of 3 points for Kap. Pretty good I’d say.

Imagine what this team could do with a number 1 center, another top 6 winger and top 4 RHD.  Team has it but need to figure out how to get those pieces.  But do not break up Freddie, Foligno and Trenin.  That line belongs.  Hartman to 4th line or traded. Ohgren still not ready.

Wild on 7th. Mikko talking about Ek warms my cold almost dead heart.

If they're going to play like this, I don't know that they need a number 1 C. Those are prohibitively expensive. Let's see what Yurov can do first. 

They already have a top-4 RHD in Spurgeon, but if they need some depth there could be some possibile options at the TDL that shouldn't be too expensive.

I do think a 4th line of Lauko-Khusnutdinov-Hartman could be pretty epic...

Sorry but Rossi is not a 1c and was absent again tonight and spurgeons time has passed and we need to find a way to move on from that contract and find a replacement.  Then I think we could have something. Yurov looks good but we still need a top 6 winger guarantee

Johansson gifted 3 points by Boldy and JEE is on pace for roughly another 30 points. I'd say keep playing Ohgren line 4 and put Hartman with Boldy and JEE.
