    Hahahaha, look for line shuffling, and the biggest change 'is the scratching of Guilliame Latendresse'. So the line shuffling is nothing.

    Stop f@#$% with every line except for Koivu's. Put Kovalev on the wing and drop Ryder to the second line. Fak fak fak, what a year this is gonna be...

    Quoting yourself lol, yeah they looked pretty good last night, only if they didn't shoot so many shots right at Vokoun and make him look so good.

    Quoting myself in all my glowing accuracy.
    They outplayed Florida like mad and, as predicted, cannot score goals to save their own skins. You're right though, they must really dislike their logo, hitting it so often.


    Kovalev's goal was a beaut, though.

    It showed his abilility to roof the puck in such a tight area.

    Scroll back a few, I believe I mention Kovy's inability to shoot lower than the cross bar - it's all dependent on how close to the net he is, the angle is always the same :P

    Kovalev blame the coach in the media after the game... AGAIN!!! I can't believe what i've heard, get rid of this fat mouth, as soon as they find a taker, rumors are coming out of Calgary... just hoping it can be true...

    Currently it is Hamrlik, not because I think he's bad, but because I think he's not worth his inflated salary. Kovalev is probably my biggest love/hate Hab. The guy has a magnetic stick and can carry the puck around almost anyone in the league, but he can't aim below the crossbar....even from the edge of the crease...

    I don't really hate any players, but Bouillion, Dandenault, Murray and (until he was cut, ahhhh) Lapierre we can do without. I only mention Lapierre cause it was sweet relief to see him sent to the AHL.

    Ryder can be quite annoying at times too because of foolish mistakes on the ice, not to mention his yearly arbitration visits.

    Well maybe he should have used this in the shootout, instead of a deke along the ice, he shoulda went roof daddy on Vokoun.

    Maybe, he put in a solid effort last night. I'm thinking Kovalev's stick must have broken on the way in on the shootout cause he left the puck on the ice.

    Would be better for you to find the complete post game interview, but here are some links, most in french:

    Here's what's left to say: "That's the best 60 minutes we've played, but the last two minutes killed us," Kovalev said.

    "I think in those situations, maybe we should have taken a timeout. You know they're gonna put everybody out there. We just weren't ready for that. Maybe we should have taken a timeout," he said.

    Kovalev rides again

    Mais il y a pire.

    Il y a les commentaires d’Alex Kovalev.

    Le beau Alex, bien assis au banc alors que son équipe écoulait la pénalité qui a conduit au but égalisateur des Panthers, a indiqué après le match que son coach aurait dû « à ses yeux » réclamer un temps d’arrêt pour mieux préparer les troupes à affronter les deux dernières minutes qui s’annonçaient difficiles.

    « On savait qu’ils (les Panthers) retireraient leur gardien. Nous aurions donc dû, selon moi, profiter d’un des arrêts de jeu pour réclamer un temps d’arrêt afin de reprendre notre souffle et mieux nous préparer. Car on semblait vraiment désorganisés lors de ce désavantage », a plaidé l’attaquant russe.

    This is what he said? A timeout would have been a great idea, I don't see the problem with his statement. I also don't speak or understand most french so that is lost on me too.

    Yeah players should be open to rip into coaches and the fans, just as along as they don't rip into there team mates.
