Lol what other matchup could he possibly be trying to avoid???

It’s not that hard on a face off

Rule #1, don’t put the slowest line in the league on the ice for a face off when your opponent has the opportunity to counter with an elite offensive weapon that Sobotka line is effectively our ***** 4th line... you do everything possible to never have them on the ice vs the opponents first line.

Yes, so don’t ***** out the Sobotka line out for a face off when the Panarin line didn’t take the previous shift

It’s on torts to get that matchup, and on Housley to prevent it

***** Sobotka line vs Panarin line again... ***** you housely

Best shift of mittelstadts career

Come on Jack... not good enough

That’s an actual opinion around here?

Interesting... I think Reinhart opinions can be very telling...

Reinhart does so many of the little things at such a high level...

Bring back the drop pass please

Go back to the drop pass! lol

Tage can wire it

Yea Reino!

Tage, sobotka, poms vs Columbus top line... everytime it happens, Housley is getting owned by Torts... and look, prime scoring chance yielded... shocker

It’s like you’re trying to be wrong

McCabe-Risto yay

Watching Tage without the puck is neauseating

Mitts with skill = good sign Loving Erod’s Game all year

Same answer.... Quality of Teammate definitely impacts outcomes, it’s just not part of the definition of sheltered usage. its like this... Mittelstadt is heavily sheltered via, very high ozone starts and low QOC... but his outcomes still suck, his ***** quality of teammates are a factor in that

Pilut playing with Risto doesn't protect Pilut from facing those d zone starts, or from facing the top lines... Risto's presence does nothing when Marner is barreling down on your through the neutral zone. What protects you from that... is not facing Marner.

Incompetent GM: Losing has impacted one of the two star players on the roster, solution... trade star player Competent GM: Losing has impacted one of the two star players on the roster, solution... build a winner Botts took an ~80 point team... turned it into a ~60 point team... and then traded a star player who hated losing. Thank god this clown lucked in to Dahlin and Skinner or we would be so screwed

That's fine... but it's already defined term in the hockey community.

Actually it wasn't credibly reported at all during the season... I mean, sure there were some dumbasses that carried the "they didn't fist bump" narrative along... but, I mean... that's just National Enquirer level stupid....I agree, it became a magnified narrative after ROR's post season press statements that the ***** Buffalo Media went wild with.
