2-1 loss. Kane with the goal. Eichel an assist. Great to see lehner get off to a good start in his return

Good start? He sucked in the Boston game. And last night he was inconsistent at best. I think we'd be better off staying with Johnson. Let's hope this isn't going to be an EJ Manuel/Rob Johnson moment where we start him just because we gave up a big fat pick for him.

yeah, he's played 4 whole games in the last year, he should be in all star form by now!

I didn't say he should, but anyone that said he has had a good start back from the injury hasn't watched the games. He was flopping all over the ice last night.

Shaking off all that rust and stopping the puck is the most important thing right now, but alas, you are correct, I haven't been able to watch the games as frequently as id like and didn't see the game yesterday.

But from the sounds of it, lehner is playing well, and thats a positive step forward after a bad training camp and subsequent injury in the opener. Gonna take him a few weeks to find his groove, but so far, so good.

Yes, lehner LOOKS good tonight

Re: Season long Game Day Thread

Not going to win too many games when you get out-shot by almost 30 (45 to 19 with less than a minute left).

Re: Season long Game Day Thread

Lehner is almost the only one who looked good...

That game against Detroit was brutal. It looked like last year's squad. Granted, they had at least 3 Amerks putting in significant minutes in Varone, Cal O'Reilly and Schaller, but that's no excuse for being thoroughly outplayed. Literally the only highlights were a few nice hits and killing off that sloppy 4 min penalty (which was immediately negated by the goal).

Tonight's game is on national TV again so hopefully we'll see the team that played the Caps and not the team that played Detroit, but I doubt it.

I wish we were Detroit.

Re: Season long Game Day Thread

Losing their 3 main stars soon due to age. *shrugs* detroit hasn't done anything really in a while. They aren't a cup calibre team, but they do make the playoffs. While right now, they are clearly better, I'm not sure that it's going to be that way once datsyuk and zetterberg and kronwall all retire. Larkin looks pretty damn good, but he and zetterberg have insane chemistry. Hard to replicate chemistry

Re: Season long Game Day Thread

Moulsen has to go.

Yup

Re: Season long Game Day Thread

I'm losing my faith in this rebuild. Eichel, Reinhardt, ROR, Kane, Risto, Girg belong. Everyone else, not sold.
