Stads Posted December 15 Report Posted December 15 That scuffle will surely get the boys going, eh? Quote
K012010 Posted December 15 Report Posted December 15 (edited) Can anyone with a better memory detail a bit for me what the difference between the team we’ve been trying to build over the last five years or so versus the team that was built going into the lockout year and then after in 2005 - 2006? Why was that team different? What were the differences in approach? I have a few ideas, but I’m curious if anybody has really thought it through. I just absolutely loved the blend of youth, veteran leadership, grit, speed goaltending, and balance that those teams had. I can literally remember every single guy on an individual basis. I have the panoramic picture plaques of the whole team standing together for both of those years. Why did the rebuild from the Hasek teams work then versus what has failed so miserably now?

HILLsabre Posted December 15 Report Posted December 15 I think Zucker would have scored if he would have got some wood on it! Quote

It added Briere and Drury. Darcy had the foresight to see the league was going to crack down on the defensive clutch and grab era and built a team immediately ready to exploit the wide open game that would come post lockout. Darcy was a great GM. 1 Quote

Dreams Burn Down Posted December 15 Report Posted December 15 Great net front presence by Kulich on that goal. Quote

Carmel Corn Posted December 15 Report Posted December 15 Maybe Kulich should be on the PP in front of the net....we haven't had a good tipper since Samson....maybe Kulich may have some talent there??? 2 1 Quote

Darcy was a great GM. Nice yeah I definitely remember that we were basically on the forefront of the new NHL post lockout and took advantage of the new rules. But then kind of got bogged down in the playoffs. At least I think 06-07 run when they allowed more clutching and grabbing again. Unless I’m misremembering. Edited December 15 by K012010 1 Quote

Porous Five Hole Posted December 15 Report Posted December 15 FIRST shift with Cozens in the box and Benson/Kulich get to play with Tage. Goal. Cozens is an anchor to anything involving offense. 1 Quote
Big Guava Posted December 15 Report Posted December 15 Zucker has been credited with the first goal now Quote
