I feel like Chicago had so few SOG throughout that entire stretch. Darling save after Darling save.

Much appreciated, we'll need it

Get outplayed for 5 minutes of the game and lose... tough one but it was a great game to watch.

Not too worried. We need one in Calgary now, but we're right there. A couple dumb mistakes.

Violations of the rule/protocol specify automatic fine of $25,000. No word from NHL if Cameron's post-game comments qualify as violation.

Ban not only extends 48 hours after a game and/or hearing, "prohibition extends to incl formal team statements to media."

When Brendan Shanahan headed up @NHLPlayerSafety, he instituted written protocol against teams lobbying league for supplementary discipline.

If NHL so chooses, door appears open to fine OTT head coach Dave Cameron/Sens $25,000 for potentially violating so-called "48 hour rule."

Hawks better not throw the towel in on Crawford or my $30 playoff pool ended on day one...sigh

 

[jjs07]

[dmxfury]

Fans and team better get fired up for game 2, can't drop first two at home

Fun games last night

 

[ijumpmani]

Unfortunately, we have a dumb/fairweather fanbase for the Caps. I'm not surprised

Where was the sense of urgency last night? Dudes were sleepwalking through the entire game. I didn't see any hunger or fight at all. It would be easier to swallow a pill following a hard fought loss than what we saw last night . It was lightwork for the Islanders. While it's only 1 game and I didn't expect a sweep, things HAVE to change for the Caps in game 2. I just hope Tom Wilson is ready to go, because the team can use his physicality on the forecheck to help create turnovers.

Also, Trotz needs to stop with the dump and chase BS. Let guys carry the puck in and be creative when entering the zone.

SO frustrating.

TRUTH.

The dump and chase strategy was my major pain point under Oates and to see Trotz following a game plan is aggravating.

Yeah this is what I was talking about,he deserves that fine for going all Gregg Williams after the game. Doesn't matter if he grew up a leafs fan and hates the team,heck he should be suspended imo if they do end up intentionally trying to hurt one of our guys as retaliation.

*update:

@Real_ESPNLeBrun: NHL discipline chief Stephane Quintal confirms P.K. Subban not facing any more discipline for slash on Stone. Penalty last night sufficed.

Their coach can eat it

 

[stillin729]

PK should have gotten 5 minutes and that's it

 

[rolaholic]

No analyst thought he deserved even a major for it,Stone just sold it like a champ but it's all good. Things would've been very different had they lost but they didn't . Looking forward to having both him and Max 67 back in the lineup.

 

[gil23]

Worst part is PK acting like he didn't do anything, just for that Im ok with him getting ejected *Kanye shrug*
