Man, nhl.com is so terrible. So Washington is going with the Empty Net for the Shootout? Oh Wait, I refreshed the page, there is now 1 second left in a Washington PP in OT.

I haven't watched much hockey this year but I feel like Granlund is good in shootouts and I can't help but wonder why he's good at nothing else.

Shootouts were one of the things Tyler Bozak was actually good at. I use the past tense because it was true a couple years ago. Doesn't seem to be so much now.

And yet he somehow still knows more than anyone else in hockey and that's why you watch Coach's Corner!
Also because it's only 2 minutes and why bother changing the channel for that amount of time.

Young Bozak was good at faceoffs. This is Old Bozak. Old Bozak is only good at being on the ice with Mitch Marner regularly.

One day we will look back on Don Cherry and think "Hey, maybe he wasn't so bad." Of course this will be because Kypreos or PJ Stock are on Coach's Corner.

Disagree. And what the hell I thought Miller was supposed to be bad now. Leafs deserved the win. Ah well. lol at Bozak over Nylander (or even Shoshnikov) as the third shooter.

Edit: I know he's usually good on breakaways but I think nylander is the better option.

Miller is bad, he gave up probably a dozen juicy rebounds and was lucky to get away with them (plus a number of posts).

I don't mind giving the Canucks the bonus point though

Miller's not bad per sea, just overpaid and blocking the net on a team that should be jettisoning the elderly like a Viking warship

every single hockey media personality that is "pushed" has been a complete cherry knockoff. in many cases they go even farther and angrier, and somehow have even less charm about them.

is stock even still employed? i thought he was one of the purged

He gave up rebounds but he still made some pretty good saves and was positionally pretty good, getting to cross pass shots. I dunno I thought he was the difference. :shrug:

Edit: Like sometimes when I've seen Miller he's overplaying and out of position like mad. Not so much tonight.

That happened once in Columbus against the Blackhawks just after Chicago started using Chelsea Dagger as their goal song.

It wasn't too long after a CHI goal, either.

e- I'd forgotten that 7-5 gong show in this barn last year. David Clarkson even had a goal.
