Tuch scores again and he  keeps playing well. Yet he has many detractors here.  It just surprises me that some of the fans who follow the team closest don’t like him. 
 

 

I feel this is directed and me and I've never said I don't like him 

no one can deny that he has issues with accuracy on both passing and shooting (obviously not on tonight's goal)

I would only consider trading him if he brought them back a legitimate top 4 vet dman who you can pair with Power or a #1 center 

when I say he can be the main part of a trade that brings back that type of player, I obviously think he has a lot of value.

It’s cause of his inane commentary 

Tuch could use a Post Game Interview Coach, no question.

Not really directed at you.  There are lots of folks that pounce on his missed shots or whatever he may do that isn’t perfect.   He seems to be held to a higher standard than what is realistic.

Samuelsson doesn't deserve to be on the ice the same time as Dahlin. 
 

it's disrespectful

Agreed. I posted this in a different thread about him earlier, but since he has been here, hes closing on on his 2nd 30+ goal year in 3 full seasons, leads the team in Plus-minus, he's one of the better forecheckers in the league.  I hardly remember any goals allowed where I said "that one's on Tuch" as he doesn't make hardly any positional mistakes..oh, and he's the best clutch player on the team, No one has more game winning goals than him since he came here.

Not sure what else you want in a winger or why you would want to move that.

[Pimlach]

Was that really Krebs that buried it ?  

[Doohicksie]

 

following a theme

[mjd1001]

Why would Cozens ever have a single game where he gets more ice time than McLeod?

McLeod is playing so well for a '3rd line' center.

The team is better when McLeod is on the ice.

He's about to have his second 30 goal season here and plays a very solid two way game. I'm not sure what people were expecting.

[Indabuff]

Entertaining game

[Believer]

Boom!

Krebsie.

Great patience picking his spot.

I think my stream of the game is actually a bit ahead of where it normally is.

Usually I find out about goals on this forum by people posting before I see them on TV.  Tonight it seems the opposite. Maybe an ESPN vs MSG thing for me.

I can help you with that.    The last couple of games vs mtl .  His defensive play at the end of the 2nd allowed MTL to score with 1 second or so left in period.   he was called out by both Dahlin and Ruff after the game 

in the other game , with the goalie pulled.   He makes a terrible pass into the feet of JJP that leads to a turnover and MTL scoring

All true.  But when he shoots a puck wide or misses a pass lookout. You can go back and review the GDTs and you will see that I’m right. 
 

[Crusader1969]

Omg Clifton has absolutely zero offensive awareness 

[EM88]

McLeod looks like he does not have much of a weakness in his game as a middle 6 center.  I would say he is one of the better 3rd line centers in the league watching him play.  He is so much more enjoyable to watch than some other players on this forward group.

[Believer]

Great period.

No one is perfect. Overally I think those mistakes he makes happen a lot less than other players. He certainly to me is one of the better 2 way forward on this team.

Maybe it's an organization decision to try to make him look as good as possible 

that pass up the middle with absolutely no touch was classic Mule

As posted above he's not perfect and does make mistakes, just a lot less than some other forwards.

I agree.  Just said you couldn't remember any.  Thought I'd help you out 

and again.  I like the player, very happy he is on the team.   
BUT he isn't on untouchable list 

[JohninMinn.]

Krebsy has a little sniper in him. Didn't see that coming.
