The Growth in Girards maturity, coolness with the puck, and decision making since we've acquired him is amazing. The guy is looking like the most seasoned vets out there and he's only 21 years old.

Bellmare had himself a fantastic game too. Not only got his first goal by whacking at Dub like a pinata, but was amazing on the PK. Just a really solid game from him.

Rantanen... Wow... by November the popular opinion may be that he is this teams best player.

Grubauer started shaky again, but just becomes the terminator in the 3rd period. That save on the breakaway against Donato and the one that ended the game... Wow.

Cale Makar ladies and gents

Might have to see about going to the game in Boston in December.

Montreal is closer to me but the Boston game being on a Saturday is appealing.

Timmins sent back down to AHL.

It's because Cole is coming back. I'm ok with this move.

It's just weird how much they pumped up Timmons making the team. The stuff about how it was 100% unanimous...

For what? 2 games?

Jeez.

Wonder what the plan will be for next year.

Makar, Girard, Byram, EJ, Timmins, Zadarov, Graves, Cole.

Who are they getting rid of?

All should make the team and none of those should sit, except maybe Graves? But they are high on him.

Do they let Zadarov walk? I hope they can keep him, love the grit.

I love Z, but the feeling I have is they let him go. Id rather see EJ go than Z. I also really like Graves and Cole is just a solid guy. LIke him a lot too. EJ is super cool, know him. So it would suck to see him go, but he hasnt been playing as well lately and we need someone like Z to lay the thunder and give us some sparks with hits.

They didn't expect Cole back until December, so the fact that he's ready to go early makes someone have to be the sacrificial lamb.

Got a good game here tonight.

Another nail biter. Beat a damn good team.

Was a good game. 2 overturned goals. Incredible.

I'm hoping for burakovsky. Still not sure he has it, but I'll take his game winner.

It took a lot of luck to get the W, but good teams find ways to win.
