QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

“It’s a fast-paced game. It’s easy to slow down and let your brain think when it’s going half speed, but you’re in the middle of the game and I don’t think it was malicious. I don’t think I jumped. I stayed on my feet, tried to tuck my shoulder and put it in their chest.”

— Jacob Trouba on delivering thunderous hits in back-to-back games

GIF to HYPE:

[Valriera]

Expecting a good response tonight after taking the night against colorado off. Except Trouba, who absolutely fucked shit up that game.

[Phil]

I hope Trouba puts someone on their ass on his first shift. Let's keep this train going!

[LindG1000]

Let's see a third straight Gordie from Trouba, a good rebound game from the boys, and how about a goal each for Kakko and Laf?

 

[Ozzy]

REALLY looking forward to this one tonight!  Big win for us!

Trivia answer: Chris Drury!

[Keirik]

Pat LaFontaine for trivia. 
 

 

Important game to just get back on a roll.

I'm not pointing fingers but it was definitely @Morphinityand not a cloud server issue.

[RichieNextel305]

Just saw the video of Igor joining the morning skate. Definitely good news. Hopefully he will be back shortly.

Also, in the video, the players are all wearing blue helmets. I’d imagine we are wearing our home jerseys tonight up in Buffalo.
