  1. we are playing well right now. I definitely want Kesserling in when he is healthy. Not so much Greenway. As long as we are playing well up front, we do not need him back until there is injury. Which will happen unfortunately. Forwards are playing hard and physical. Greenway is not physical and does not play hard all the time.
  2. I have only watched last three games. Quinn has not been good in two of those. He was better last night. Skated much better, and no bad giveaways i noticed. Hopefully, upward trend for him. I was really impressed with Thompson and his work ethic. He is working hard every shift. Playing 200 feet. Being physical in a smart way. Someone talked to him about what he needs to do to make the Olympic team. This is exactly how he needs to play. Exciting to see. The goals will come.
  3. We need players like Doan who are high effort guys that play 200 feet. Hopefully his offense can stay consistent. If he is not scoring there is a lot more to his game. Peterka, if he does not score is not contributing anything really.
  4. I watched and he was awful defending. In our own zone and in transition. So were byrum and samuelson. 3 of the 6 dman were really bad. Pinned in our own zone so much due to it.
  5. Power is a bust for the first overall pick at this point. He is not looked at favorably around the league as some people think on this board. The more he plays the more he is exposed. If he had to play against other teams best players he would be in deep trouble. We have far too many soft defenseman. Power, bowen, Samuelson, Bryson. Timmins is average and dahling is only physical guy.
  6. he is hurt far too much to be always hurt enough not to play.
  7. Johnson is just an extra too. th type guy like Clague was.
  8. Hopefully he can be slightly above average which is improvement for us. UPL is a hypochondriac who is always hurt. We have a soft team might as well accept we have a soft gopalie.
  9. this does not make sense. They have been functionality suspended since this came out a year and a half to two years ago. They were found innocent.
  10. Lidstrom was an elite defensive and offensive player almost from moment he came into league. Would love Power to play the positionally genius way Nick did. He does not, and appears lost at times.
  11. he hated Bettman and the NHL for ignoring the CTE crisis with ex players. His book mentioned above is a must read. all his books are. His scotty bowman book is fantastic. He also suffered from tall mans disease lol. his back would get sore from being a stand up goalie and he was 6'4". his famous picture leaning over his stick were to give his back a break. It is what drove him to retirement eventually. if he was born ten years later he would have been butterfly goalie. Met him once in Amherst. nice guy. very quiet. he listened more than talked if that makes sense.
  12. Tuch is not a gritty two-way player. Thompson's success has been mostly as a center on an awful team. He needs to prove himself as a 200-foot winger who can still score. How he plays without the puck is the biggest question with him.
  13. Tage needs to show a commitment to a 200-foot game and play the wing all year or he will not make it. Tuch is a candidate for fourth line but would have to be playing unreal to make it. Tuch needs to show an aggressiveness he rarely does to make it. The games against Canada are mean nasty affairs.
  14. Lot of mileage on that body plus roids plus coke plus lifestyle... Will miss him. What manager would you choose: Captain Lou Classy Freddy Vlassy Bobby the Brain Mouth of the South
