Unbelievable, this was on the same shift O'Rourke called the hold on Fiala on, maybe 15-20 seconds earlier.

Embarrassing. Exact same penalty not called on Pettersson.

Yeah I thought I saw that too, But to me that's nothing until they called Fiala for less

Lewis showing those silky mitts again /s...

Man I liked Lewis the first go around but I am not sure what he brings to the table at this point. He is definitely my whipping boy this season.

Veteran presence, big part of the #1 ranked PK. Leadership, lead by example. I get it. But the hands have never been there, even the first stint.

He was a solid scorer in the AHL, put up 20 goals in his last full season in Manchester (wow that feels weird to see) in 2008-09 so I was optimistic when he became a full time King in 2009 but it became apparent almost immediately he does not have good offensive skills at the NHL level. Fast forward 15 years...yeah he still has no hands. I don't even know how he's got 7 goals this year really.

Curious why he's your bitch boy this season, what were your expectations? He fits fine to me in that B6/PK role and he's cheap. Doesn't really fit the BB role to me, there are far more others (Kaliyev for example, expected to be a major contributor this season) vs Lewis.

You know what you're getting with that guy, he isn't going to pot you 15 goals all of a sudden.
