Don Cherry: "Hockey gods will always come back to get you"
OP

Pens haven't beat a playoff contender since 12/19 (Caps). Next game will be a good test.
Every so often, Cherry gets it right.
But then I'm one of the few around here that still loves Coaches Corner.
I'll still take it. Better than losing to teams that they should be beating on the regular.
Most def. I think we were as low as 2nd last in league standings right around Thanksgiving. Few more wins on this streak and we could be 2nd best behind Bolts.
I'm sad I missed the game but at least we have highlights and Athletties gifs
Like they're not even there

With Hutch in net, I think this "Next Gen Game" is only going to inspire another generation of disappointed Leafs fans.

unfortunately the stringent all star selection rules almost necessitated it
if they sent Domi then a different even more deserving forward would have been snubbed for sure
That's true, just a stupid setup overall. I haven't tuned into the All Star game in a few years anyways.

Some thoughts from the game last night:
-Hogberg was good for the Sens, especially in the first when the Canucks carried the play. Give Petey enough open looks though, and he'll score. The Sens defense is... not good.
-Sens did well to tie it late. The Canucks got a bit sloppy and complacent and let them back into it.
-Boeser had 7 shots but missed a few and whiffed on one opportunity. His shot still isn't 100% but he made some good passes to Pettersson.
-Leivo was injured so Green rotated some wingers on Pettersson's line. Baertschi looked like the best fit, but we may see Goldobin back there tonight.
-Pettersson was on both power play units. I notice though that he usually just stands at the blue line and tries to "sneak" into the zone behind the puck carrier. While he did score, I thought he was too cute at times and tried to feather a cross-ice feed, which got picked off and resulted in a breakaway the other way.
With Horvat's line deployed defensively, the Canucks were a one-line team when it comes to scoring. We'll see what happens when Sutter is back to take on more shutdown duties.
EDIT: also they were showing the World Juniors on the Jumbotron. We saw Canada's goal and then the penalty shot during intermission. When they cut away to start the third, the crowd booed. And they booed more when they showed the final score.

What did you think of Horvat's line? Is he still capably shutting down offences?
I feel for Sparks and hope he's not concussed. I'm excited to see Hutchison though, and hope he will steal the back-up role. Sparks may have a decent record, but he swims a lot and I don't have confidence in him.
I wish I was home to watch it from the start since class ended early, but I scheduled a meeting for later this afternoon without knowing it was day game day.

Yea and to be fair, some of the games we've been winning look a lot better on the scoresheet than when watching. Even Sid said that 6-1 win over St Louis was a lot closer of a game than that. Still, pretty much smacked NYR
Did anyone play that game the Leafs released on their app to promote this tilt? I spent maybe 30 or 45 minutes with it overall
This is so corny, if they really want kids to come to games they should bring back the Coca-Cola zone
That kid standing beside Boudreau is so taking his job
