Bobcat’s Post Game Notes, Game 23
Jackets lose, 4-2 to the Detroit Red Wings.
-This is the same Wings team that embarrassed us not too long ago. Time to get revenge.
-This should be the point where the new RRs begin to grow on me, but they’re just not. They’re just… BAD. I don’t like them.
-We’ve had a couple of turnovers in the offensive zone, but Ville Husso shuts them down.
-A defensive zone turnover gives the Wings a good chance, and a Jonatan Berggren shot gets deflected behind Korpi by Austin Czarnik. Looks to be a repeat of last time…
-Patty and Boone find themselves on a 2-on-1, but we mess it up because of course we do.
-I don’t get it: Ville Husso has looked human against every other team, but AS SOON AS HE STEPS INTO NATIONWIDE ARENA, HE BECOMES DOMINIK F*CKING HASEK. This sounds calloused as f*ck, but at what point do we get the novel idea of crashing the net and taking him out of action? Perhaps Alex Nedeljkovic would be better for my blood pressure…
-Laine throws the puck towards the net, Boone is right there to get a rebound, but again, Ville Brodeur pulls a rabbit out of his *ss. For the love of Christ, GET THAT BISCUIT IN!
-Joe Veleno gets a break, but Silli stops it with a tap to the hands, which is somehow hooking. There was no hook. I hate the enforcement of hooking.
-Dominik “Future Free Agency Mistake” Kubalik scores a PPG on a power play that shouldn’t have happened.
-ANOTHER HOOKING PENALTY, ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. In the words of Jay-Z, “I don’t respect the f*cking referees.”
-Eric Robinson gets tripped on a rush, but they don’t call it because OF F*CKING COURSE THEY DON’T.
-We kill it off, and after the penalty the refs miss a trip and goalie interference. I DON’T RESPECT THE F*CKING REFEREES.
-Not too long after the second period starts, Gavin Bayreuther gets sent off for holding. I completely missed it because I was on the phone with my dad, but if the last two penalties are anything to go by, it probably wasn’t holding in the slightest.
-Not even a minute into that PK, and Rosie trips Dylan Larkin. Okay, that was a genuine trip. Finally, a penalty I can’t complain about!
-A 3-on-1 for us, but Husso shuts it down again. Man is standing on his head with his eyes closed.
-Hey, we finally get a power play! Oskar Sundqvist almost kills Rosie on a hold. I guess that’s what it takes to get a penalty these days…
-FINALLY, VILLE HUSSO PROVES THAT HE’S HUMAN. MARCUS BJORK SCORES HIS FIRST GOAL AT HOME. WE’RE BACK TO WITHIN TWO.
-David Perron gets sent off for stick-holding. Very obviously an accident, but he still did it.
-That penalty doesn’t lead to a goal, but after the PP ends, a scramble in front of the net leads to a Kent Johnson goal! We’re back to within one!
-Dylan Larkin puts the puck in the back of the net, but it was determined offsides via coach’s challenge. We actually won a challenge. It’s a goddamn miracle…
-…But then we give up a legitimate goal. Andrew Copp beats Korpi over his shoulder. Not much daylight there, I’m surprised he made that.
-Second verse, same as the first: We’ve had a couple of turnovers in the offensive zone, but Ville Husso shuts them down. It make-a no sense!
-Yegor catches Joe Veleno on his stick. Let’s kill this off.
-We killed it off, and even got a power play of our own, but couldn’t capitalize. Although we lost, i can’t complain. We did get a few penalties I didn’t agree with, and that hampered us, but our play this time was SO MUCH BETTER than last time we played Detroit. Good progress.
