I'd say Gryba before Chiasson. Got away with a bit of an elbow there.

For the knee on Karlsson? Yeah. Someone should fill him in.

And Stone should skate up to Elliott and shout something at him in a falsetto voice. Break his concentration. And then when Elliott is laughing crush his larynx.

Both good hits.  It's just that on the first one it was ruled interference.  It's funny, you plaster the guy into the boards 5 seconds after he passes the puck out of his zone and they call it "finishing your check" but if the guy dumps it in and chases in after it and you hit him a second after (and before he gets to it) it's interference.  

By the way, I was talking about his second hit, on Lappy.  No call on that one.

He wasn't called for the hit, it was the stuff after the hit. He needed to leave him alone and skate away, he didn't. Bad decision.

Grybes should have hit him harder.

Why was there no call on the interference on Lehner? He was right up against the goal and got run over. On the other hand, if that was Tim Peel we'd be killing an interference call against Lehner.

Ott on Karlsson was a knee that wasn't called. Stone got hit in the stones by Elliott and that wasn't called either. My jaw dropped when the didn't miss the high sticking on Neil. The guy doesn't bleed, does he.

I thought the arm went up right on the hit.

The STL line. So imaginative

Best part of the game so far? "Question Period" with Bruce Garrioch.

Karlsson come on man

That's that.

ishhhh... it's gonn be hard to come back from two

I can't wait for Karlsson to stop sucking.

That's a good start

We can win this. We're playing better. Noing to lose now

I'd be a little surprised but maybe. Too bad the intermission is coming.

We get a pp to open the period. Just stack it with the top players

I think this is actually one of our beat games of the year. The Michalek ZBad Neil line has been solid and really getting quality zone time.

By the way, Neil was the guy going for a useless hit on a guy without the puck on the Tarasenko goal. It was against the board next to the faceoff circle and the puck was going to the guy behind the goal line. Sure, Tarasenko was Michalek's guy to cover, so I'm not going to say it was on Neil, but still.

A game of mistakes, and the Sens are certainly ahead in that stat.

Game in, game out Neil is rock solid. Michalek takes a hell of a beating out there.
