I'm pretty sure that all of Risto's points so far are second assists, but I disagree that he's not looking right. Is he looking like a #1? Definitely not. But I feel like his play last night was that of an average #2 guy. He tilted the ice in our favor last night.

In what universe does Moulson score 30 this season and we're still sellers at the deadline?

I like him as the 13th forward.

:lol: :lol:

I think it's right to say he projects as a winger then. Barring some sort of disaster; Reinhart, Eichel, and O'Reilly, are going to be here long term.

The dude is a football player, do you expect him to present a thesis? The NFL is one of the most obnoxiously conservative entities in America. I find the military worship rituals to be unnerving, and it seems to me to be the perfect time for football players to let their opinions be known of the state of affairs. It definitely created conversations about the state of racial relations, productive and otherwise. Most of the "otherwise" being a massive amount of racist fueled hatred poured Kaepernick's way. Just because you weren't involved in any of the conversations doesn't mean they didn't happen. Social media is a thing.

I'm at 1945.

:D

Oh and Zemgus. Did he ever find his way out of the locker room?

[Haven't read the thread yet] Great game, great win! Larsson was a beast as usual. Grant getting PP time over him is ridiculous. I'm so glad Johan picked up where he left off last season. Great night for Gionta as well. Foligno looked like a plug in the first period, but got better as the game went on. I like him working the boards for Gionta and Larsson, but I'd love it if our depth could push him down to the 4th line. Ennis played the part of an energy guy pretty well tonight. I don't know if this is part of Hot Daniel's plan to get Ennis going, but getting him to start with a solid simple game might be a good way to go. I still don't agree with having him play with Deslauriers and Fasching. Other than the last shift where he held the puck behind the net for a while, I didn't notice Fasching at all. Another great game by Bogo and McCabe. Those two look really comfortable together, and McCabe especially looks confident with the puck. Risto was good. His 1st period started a little rocky, but he was instrumental in this win. He was methodical and slowed down just about every play he could: cutting off passing angles and keeping the fast Edmonton forwards digging on the boards. I'd love to see him with not Gorges. Not to knock Gorges, he played a nice game as well, I'm just sick of seeing the flow of our attack die down every time Risto goes D to D. Reinhart was a little awkward on the boards in the O zone, but other than that I thought he played the left side well. He was really nifty the way he'd protect the puck on the outside then pick the perfect moment to open up towards the center and pass it. I'd like for Reinhart to have more of an effect 5 on 5. He really seems like the kind of player that would thrive with the play flowing through him as often as possible. Please, Hot Dan, get this kid at center soon. Okposo was smooth. His playmaking was on display tonight. What a great signing. O'Reilly looked faster today. Great game as usual from him. Bless Matt Moulson. He worked his ass off 5 on 5, even though he often didn't win us possession back. That goal was the first time I've seen him look like a confident shooter in over a year. The first one was mostly Reinhart, that one was mostly Moulson. Awesome for him. Kulikov looked good with the puck, but struggled at times in the D-zone. Both Edmonton goals looked like poor decisions while backing up to catch up with the play. Could be rust, injury related, or a lack of chemistry with Franson. Lehner made some more awesome saves tonight. The only time I get worried is when he has to recover from a save when the puck remains in play. He seems a little bit slow to get back to the line, but maybe that's just part of having a monster huge goalie. Nice game by him. McDavid was largely kept in check by our team defense, but he still had 2 or 3 phenomenal passes that could've easily ended in goals.

Didn't realize the context of his adopted parents being white. So, yeah, that chirp is definitely racially motivated. You're right. My bad.

OL had a tough time in the beginning but then pulled it together.

I kinda like the thought of Reinhart - ROR - Okposo / Ennis - Larsson - Girgensons But it's wasting too many centers. That's probably why Dan would love it.

Yikes. I miss Eichel.

Yup. He's average af.

Yikes.

YES! So many reviewers are lame.

If you think it's bad, I'll know you for a fool. :p

I really want Sam playing center, but with Kane out I don't even see 1 winger I'd want him centering.

Nope. Not a big fan of South Park.

Lights Out was an effective movie. I still think about it when I'm in the dark. The script isn't great and the filmmaking was in need of a lot more creativity, but it's pretty good. The Gallows is a pretty excellent found footage movie. It got abysmal reviews. Has, like, a 10 on rotten tomatoes. But I LOVE IT.

Fowler's probably a 2/3 tweener. His skillset is badly needed by us.

Bogo and Fowler are the same type of player? Noooo. No they are not.

Wow. That was almost as bad as the fumble play.

Nah. It's more like insulting a hockey goalie for sucking.
