Oops I copied the wrong tweet from the previous game but Augustine is starting in the Gold Medal game too lol versus ASP, wish I could watch

FWIW I didn't take that as a whinefest, some people just don't see any value in taking a goalie in the first round which I can sort of understand as it is more risky than any other position. I feel like I'm somewhere in the middle of the pack on goalies in the first round, wary but open to it. I was shocked at the Cossa pick (I have to come clean and say I wanted Wallstedt) but Wallstedt did go five picks after Cossa so if you wanted either of those guys you had to use a first rounder. But I also definitely get why Yzerman did what he did with Cossa, you can't teach his athletic gifts. Plus the Vasilevsky pick really helped push the Lightning franchise forward previously.

Ryan Whitney and Chiclets have really been pumping ASP's tires this World Juniors, calling him the next Swedish defensive super star. The kid just has such a nice release on his shot....gives me Rafalski vibes.

Right now I'm holding onto the Cossa lottery ticket and letting him develop. I don't think he would command a ton of value on the trade market right now because his development is so up in the air. I am not saying he's a bad prospect but I don't see him being able to fetch a NHL ready player that would be worth it. I could definitely be wrong, I'm sure there are GM's that still see former first round pick + physical traits and are intrigued.

This is wild, I would have loved to see some games, all of these guys had 1 more point than Danielson combined: Rumors of a Danielson trade in juniors going around too AlJo seems to be getting more comfortable with North American ice as this season goes on, good to see Stolen from a hfboards post: Berggren 2+3 = 5 points at last 4 games Mazur: 5+1 = 6 points at last 6 games Söderblom 1+3 = 4 points at last 4 games Kasper: 1+4 = 5 points at last 6 games Johansson 2+2 = 4 points at last 5 games

Seems kind of odd, Buggs seems to do alright stuffing the run and he is one of the guys leading the pre-game speeches for the trenches at times. I woulda thought he would be kept around but it has been an odd season with him being active and inactive.

Augustine has me very excited with how he is playing

Wow Saros just absolutely robbed Kane

Chiarot with a bumbling play at the Predators blueline leads to him ultimately putting the puck in front of the Wings' net right to an open Forsberg who buried it. I feel like Chiarot has looked solid this season but man what an awful sequence. Special shout out to Petry for trying to join Chiarot below the goalline for some reason.

Larkin makes it 1-0 against the Predators while on the penalty kill, unassisted

I hear the deck chairs on the Titanic need rearranging too

1-1 late in the first against the wild. Wild struck first after Seider and Perron took each other out at center ice. Kane tied it up shortly after with a nifty shot.

I legitimately cannot stand Payton and it pains me that Campbell seems to look up to the guy

he ended up getting credited with the assist Someone on the hfboards watched Buch play and said he has been trying really hard to play defense, just doesn't have much skill in that area haha.

The type of player who pulls the piano.....some people made a career off of it 😆 I've read nothing but good things about Danielson's line so far though. I don't have NHL Network so I can't watch.

Kane has been way better than I thought he would be, he puts in the shoot out winner

This is a wildddddddd game

Nice to see him back on the ice

Not NHL but old friend alert.....Frk you can't do that wtf was he thinking
