  1. Oof.. Goli is scaring me every time he’s near the puck.. give him the Merrill treatment, 1-2 minutes max per period

  2. We’re playing pretty flat this period. Hopefully they pound a couple of Red Bulls during intermission

  3. Addison wasn’t nearly as bad as Goose. Dude is a complete liability out there, and that’s putting it lightly. He makes Merrill look like a top pair shutdown D man lol

  4. Think the puck was left hanging in front of our goal longer than we were in the o-zone.

    That 1st line shift with Kap/Boldy near goals was gorgeous though.

  5. I’m a 28 year old lady but sometimes you just need to eat kraft Mac n cheese and chikn nuggets for dinner you know??

    What is everyone else eating?

  6. dropping hot takes on the intermission report, “it’s tough to come back in the nhl when you don’t score”
