Pens gonna blow the worst lead in hockey.

Jackets and Stars are apparently played on a surface sponsored by Slurpees. Absolute garbage ice.

It must be 80s night in Montreal as a guy named Stastny is a Habs killer.

I won’t say Marino is having a true sophomore slump, but he’s definitely had his struggles this year.

He'll never win a Super Bowl.

They need to ask if they can decline them.

The comeback is complete

Flames up 2-0 less than three minutes in - What kind of sorcery is this?

Now 2-1 lol

The Matheson-Marino pairing has been a disaster tonight.

PLD with the OT winner in MTL

The Matheson-Marino pairing has been a disaster tonight.

Marino was shaking but Matheson is complete garbage.

At least I know Marino can be good. Matheson on the other hand is a younger JMFJ.

Yep. I won’t say Marino is without blame, but I believe at least some of his issues arise from playing with Matheson. He doesn’t seem to struggle like this when paired with others. Hell the few times he’s been out there with Joseph, they looked like seasoned vets.

Which also begs the question...WTF is Joseph not out there?

so much form my thought about there being two ways this game could go.

If that first goal is an indicator, look out.

Without a doubt he has had struggles.

As for PO Joseph/Marino why that isn't a full-time pairing going forward I don't know.

Quinn Hughes has 79 points in 100 games. That’s good, right?

According to my math, that's a .79 point per game pace which is excellent for a defenseman.

Indeed.

Also, Sean Monahan's next goal will be #200 for his career which is also pretty good.

If it wasn’t obvious before, it is now. This is Demko’s net.

Dube with his first career hat trick!
