    Reinhart so good at picking off passes on the forecheck. Tricking guys into coughing it up. He'll get a ton of assists like last night's over his career.

    Surprised to see so much doom and gloom on here. We're winning the physical battle in an increasingly physical game. One of my favorite Kane games to date. We are missing our best player and just traded a bottom six guy who was playing on our one. There's going to be games when the skill isn't there.

    A 3rd is a steal. Retaining half of the salary bumped it up from a 4th (I'm assuming) according to LeBrun.

    Yes his goal calls are terrible in my opinion. And no that's not the point to RJ's calls. His may be simple but they have a sense of spontaneity that match the moment. And to compare where mama hides the cookies or someone call the cops to who needs batman when you have robin or big heart sam heart for their supposed endearing terribleness is pretty off. (the latter wasn't so awful but the play didn't warrant it. sam went to the net but was mostly untouched and flipped the puck over the glove.) The two issues with Dunleavy's calls are that they mostly consist of bad, unfunny puns and these bad, unfunny puns often seem overplanned and unnatural. It's all a bit awkward. Obviously, this is my opinion. I'm just surprised people enjoy it.

    Dunleavy's strength is fitting his knowledge of the game into play by play. His glaring weakness is the laughably scripted and uncomfortable goal calls. Its like he's still trying them out in front of the mirror. Was surprised to see people appreciating the "big heart reinhart" or "who needs batman when you have robin?". So bad... McGinn understands its a business and really enjoys the locker room here. I think that is one thing we have going that we have not in the last few years. Players enjoy coming to work. The team is close and the coach is a player's coach. I think that bumps us up a few notches when he's evaluating his options next off-season. Get a second for him, leave on good terms, and begin discussions in the offseason.

    Haha, not going to have a discussion about feminism with a guy who claimed the country is changing because people were offended by hidden camera pics of an unknowing woman at a bar. We'll just stick to hockey k?

    Coming in late and it was probably said (I hope) but stopped reviewing at this point out of anger. The continuous posting of pics of an unsuspecting woman is beyond indefensible. It has nothing to do with a soft culture. My God man. Have some sense of decency. When someone says "this country has become softer than a...", take a look and you'll probably see a white male in a rapidly changing world. Update: the discussion of feminism that followed was comical. Thank you qwk and K-9 for providing the only substance in critical thought.

    Hahaha.

    Totally. Couldn't be happier. More a broad observation of the Board, especially for Lemmy.
  10. GrassValleyGreg
    Amazing that people evaluate trades period to period.
  11. GrassValleyGreg
    Lemmy keeping us in this.
  12. GrassValleyGreg
    Surprised the idea of keeping Johnson received a page of traction.
  13. GrassValleyGreg
    Phew. Doesn't seem like that long ago when people were clamoring for Mouls/Eich. Amen to that. A comment earlier mentioned how shallow the forwards are (and no doubt they are), but that is a lot of talent out (or maybe, hopefully not out). Would be pretty interesting if Ennis can return to form sometime this year.
  14. GrassValleyGreg
    Sarcasm right?
  15. GrassValleyGreg
    Good second. Growing pains. Positives in Lemmy's first very strong game as a Sabre. Sound positioning throughout (although flailing his 6'4 frame a bit in chaos). Hopefully, a couple more like these will start to turn the overwhelming pessimism on the Board. Eich continues to get more comfortable with smart puck possession (although still a number of lackadaisical turnovers followed by lazy attempts to get back to the puck). Looks dynamic on the PP (7 PPPs in last 10). Sound D until the shell. No doubt the group continues to get better. Good game from the 3rd line. Gionta with some good burst. Moulson sighting!
  16. GrassValleyGreg
    Don't think theres a bigger waste of space than Moulson.
  17. GrassValleyGreg
    Worst game from McCabe in some time.
  18. GrassValleyGreg
    Really unimpressive Bs squad right now. They were really living off their PP.
  19. GrassValleyGreg
    Awful sequence for McCabe and Frans there.
  20. GrassValleyGreg
    Just watched the first: I'm one of the bigger Kane critics here but when he is on, he is on. It gives you hope that he can weave his immense individual skill set into the team game. Taylor Hall, with a similar forceful high-skill game, has done just that this year, and is a point per game player. Is there anything more enjoyable than Eich and Sam cycling the puck? The two are yin and yang in style, but man is it fun to watch them develop together. I don't have kids but I understand the true joy of fatherhood. Bogosian is a neanderthal on skates, all broad shouldered and hunched. He's mostly solid in the defensive zone but man is he awful on the pinch. Not too gifted offensively.
  21. GrassValleyGreg
    Kane's game is so frustratingly counter productive
  22. GrassValleyGreg
    Fine with our PP1, but the second unit perfectly showcases the lack of offensive depth on the team.
  23. GrassValleyGreg
    Auston has looked very pedestrian so far; as has Tkachuk. Only two games in, but you can see AM getting frustrated. His puck control is all world, but his play and awareness around the net appears to be lacking. Looks to definitely be a step down from the skill of last WJC (which may go down as one of the highest skilled junior tournaments in recent history). Puljujarvi looks to be the top prospect after two games IMO, and I'd be ecstatic if we somehow lucked into the #2 pick.
  24. GrassValleyGreg
    This Hawks broadcast is brutal. How many times can you comment on the crowd and Zemgus's weird "foreign" name?
  25. GrassValleyGreg
    How does Reinhart take the puck away so easily?
