Well by the time Zibanejad comes over, Alfie and Michalek will be gone lol

If we plan to fail for nail, he can come next year

Kind of irrelevant now, but that icing by FOligno was totally stupid.

And DaCosta is gonna be a player...

Meh I don't care anymore. I'd be pissed if we were in the running for 1st and we kept winning, because RNH is sick (Pierre McGuire ranks him 4th though, FYI). Or I'd be pissed if this was a Stamkos or Crosby year. But alas, tis not.

What impressed you about Da Costa tonight? Not ripping on him, just didn't really notice him

Just vision and his awereness on the ice. He caused a lot of turnovers by Montreal just by being at the right place at the right time. Kid has hockey sense. The pass to Condra was a beauty, then Condra dropped behind to Michalek who had a good scoring chance (you probably remember that play)

He's got skill but he plays like he's the son of Kovalev out there. No drive just cherry picking at centre ice.

He looked decent but he will definitely start in Bingo next year depending on how he develops his body and conditioning in the off-season, and depending on training camp.

Oh for sure, he's not even close to being ready, but he has a lot of things 90% of this team doesn't.

Nice to see his folks and his brother make it out from France though.

I think KK in Bingo can make an NHL player out of him in 1 season (or less perhaps).

Even Spezza was blown away ... "Wow "

I hate winning but that was just awesome.

That was Cussing brilliant. What a sweet goal. Nice to see he still has some in the tank. Ya, Gill feels like an idiot right now.

Derek Smith logged 7 shots on goal.

Yeah I saw that although my first though was he got a Volchenkov jersey on e-bay for cheap.

Derek Smith looks good out there, we could easily replace Kuba with him.

CBC called him Brian Lee a few times, can only see the '5' instead of '51'



Butler's goal ... Gotta love Spezza's reaction

So, you mean he's truffle picking?

I don't know if we creamed them. 3-2 OT win with their backup in goal.

Mind you, killing off that 5 minute major was nice. Who would have thunk it, a year ago, that a defense anchored by Phillips and Lee, with Spezza and Shannon replacing Alfie, Kelly and Fisher, would be the best in the league?

Credit to Carvel and Clouston ? With all the lineup changes and losing A-train we still have an effective PK.

Anderson is probably the biggest factor.
