/Skated pick up with multiple nhl and college players in 80's and 90's. Rule one was do nothing to hurt them. Rule two was beat anyone who did not follow rule one. The skill level and power was otherworldly. just amazing.
Greenway should sit before Malenstyn. He is not physical, does not grind, is slow, does not score etc... He had a chance to go after Nurse last night atend of 2nd period. Instead it was Krebs who fought and Krebs is far more valuable than Greeway.
Thompson has been working so hard lately. Others are feeding off it.
Bo is a much better player. I don't think Power is tradeable with the contract.
Power is what he is. Tyler Myers part Deux. He will not become more physical or better defensively.
Timmins is a 3rd pairing guy. Nothing in his history nor his play this year changes that.
we have been watching different games. He is not physical even a little bit.
far more often than not, the unknown is worse than the known. Local buyers are nonexistent. The Rink needs hundreds of millions in renovations. A person buying the team would be more likely to do so to move the team.
Johnson is a Cale Klague level player. 8th dman. he was never a star in 4 years of college. not a star in AHL. We should have taken the draft pick compensation instead of sign him.
we are playing well right now. I definitely want Kesserling in when he is healthy. Not so much Greenway. As long as we are playing well up front, we do not need him back until there is injury. Which will happen unfortunately. Forwards are playing hard and physical. Greenway is not physical and does not play hard all the time.
I have only watched last three games. Quinn has not been good in two of those. He was better last night. Skated much better, and no bad giveaways i noticed. Hopefully, upward trend for him. I was really impressed with Thompson and his work ethic. He is working hard every shift. Playing 200 feet. Being physical in a smart way. Someone talked to him about what he needs to do to make the Olympic team. This is exactly how he needs to play. Exciting to see. The goals will come.
We need players like Doan who are high effort guys that play 200 feet. Hopefully his offense can stay consistent. If he is not scoring there is a lot more to his game. Peterka, if he does not score is not contributing anything really.
I watched and he was awful defending. In our own zone and in transition. So were byrum and samuelson. 3 of the 6 dman were really bad. Pinned in our own zone so much due to it.
Power is a bust for the first overall pick at this point. He is not looked at favorably around the league as some people think on this board. The more he plays the more he is exposed. If he had to play against other teams best players he would be in deep trouble. We have far too many soft defenseman. Power, bowen, Samuelson, Bryson. Timmins is average and dahling is only physical guy.
Hopefully he can be slightly above average which is improvement for us. UPL is a hypochondriac who is always hurt. We have a soft team might as well accept we have a soft gopalie.
