Puck I agree with your comments on Carlsson. He looks really good. I went to the game in Seattle when Ducks were in town and he was the only one that was making any plays. Good size and speed and already has confidence. Dylan Guenther in Arizona is another rookie that I think is going to...
I like your post. I haven't bagged in him much yet, but I think the frustrating part for me in watching him is what you touched on a bit. Some shifts he looks so dominant, and other shifts appears to not even be trying. You know the capability is there to be more physical and I feel like if...
I dunno if I would say he has good talent around him when he is playing on the 3rd line with Grundstrom and Laferriere. The problem is the top 2 lines have had such great chemistry you hate to mess with that but I do think it puts PLD in a tougher spot playing on 3rd line.
Definitely a frustrating start, but it doesn't feel like they are way off. They laid an egg in the game against the Predators, but otherwise I thought hung in there with Vegas and played well enough to get the W against the Blues and Avs. Feels like they are missing on their shots. Hitting a...
I caught some chunks of the games. The Coolley goal was pretty impressive. I thought Fiala looked great. Hard to put much stock into preseason games, even though it was more of the regular players.
I hope that line of Iaffalo Lowry Appleton is their 3rd line or that is one of the worst 2nd lines in the NHL. That line will work you to death but not gonna put many pucks in the net.
I watch most of the Kraken games and he was terrible for them. He had a decent stretch during Grubauer's injury, but his terrible tending was overshadowed by Seattle's offense that gave him a ton of run support. His stats are so crazy... his win/loss record is pretty amazing for how bad his...
Well in NHL there are only 6 positions on the ice, and in NFL there are 22 and that's not even counting special teams. So in theory you could get the top ranked (insert position here) in a later round just due to shear numbers, and typically earlier rounds draw the attention of QB's, linemen...
I live in a smaller town north of Seattle smack dab in the middle between Seattle and Vancouver BC. We have one rink with no actual seats, just some cold metal bleachers. The rink is owned by the city and they could care less about upkeep, in fact they had it as a potential homeless site...
Byfield for Lafreniere, would you do it? I wouldn't, personally... But based on manys feedback of Byfield on here I am wondering if those would. Both underperforming top picks, maybe a change of scenery would help and it feels like Kings and Rangers are common trade partners for these type of...
Pretty much sums it up right there. Oilers did some great moves before the deadline and I think an underrated one is adding Bjugstad. He was an excellent 3C for them and did lots of things in the series that I felt were key but did not show up in the box score.
Gavrikov added some size but...
I think the fact that we are in same division made us a less attractive trade partner. Also now that most teams went out and got their defenseman, a lot less trade options for Coyotes.
I listened to an interview with John Hoven today and he said something that made me feel a little bit better about the situation. According to him, Quick doesn't think he is done after this season and wants to continue playing. With that being said, it wasn't as if he was a few months away...
Removing all emotions from it, I love the trade. Fills 2 glaring needs.
Adding emotions to it, I hate it. I really hope it doesn't mess with team chemistry and I hope they find a way to redeem Quick and his legacy.
For reference:
- 2 Games (Oleksiak elbow)
- 3 Games (Kubel hit to the head)
- 3 Games (Skinner cross-check to face)
- 2 Games (Slavkocsky boarding)
Yeah, I'll take the loogie... :)
