I, for one, would rather see a healthy Kulikov perform in this system than Bogosian or Gorges.
-
5TDs in the first half at Pitt. 497 yards passing, 72% comp pcnt. Averaged 48yds per TD pass.
-
If he can carry this over into games I'll be pleasantly surprised. I'm really hoping some guys like him can resurrect their careers. -
I'd say the only guys he's faster than are Larsson, Moulson, and Gorges... and maybe Risto. He's certainly near the bottom of the quickness rankings, ahead of only Bogo prolly. I'd really like to know the results of the on ice testing yesterday, and from last year, just to see how guys have progressed or regressed.

They lack speed, skill and awareness. If you have 2 of those 3 you can have success, they have none.
-
It helps that there is no chin up bar in existence high enough to get his feet off the ground.
-
I think they'll give Girgensons a chance, but ultimately I see him being moved as his skill set doesn't fit with the way this team wants to play. Larsson could find himself in the same position. Maybe not this season but definitely when Asplund is here next season.
-
ROR is too hard on himself as it is. Adding the "C" to his sweater might break him mentally when things aren't going well.
-
Thanks for ruining my fantasy that this will be their primary means of transportation to the rink for the next 20 years.
-
Bylsma had a plan for that too.... haha Seriously tho, I'm looking forward to watching this system, will definitely be more fun to watch... win or lose. Even as a Bylsma apologist, it's refreshing to have a progressive coach... seems like the players are excited about it.

They live adjacent to the arena? May need to invest in some studded tyres for the winter eh?

fixed

That's nice and all, and not to be negative, but what happens when Girgensons turns it over entering the zone... boom, instant odd man rush going the other way. That's my concern with firewagon hockey... .and they don't have a Pekka Rinne to back them up.

"Manhunt: Unabomber" was fantastic. -
You think JBOTs will have a talk with them about this bike riding thing? It's not exactly the safest means of travel for two of the most important pieces of this team.
-
Do you have any examples of this? This is an old wives tale IMO.
-
My concern is that once the puck moves to Girgensons, the play will break down because he has no hands or creative offensive ability, not can he dish the pill with any amount of regular success.
-
My concern with him is his stature and how that impacts his ability to win battles and protect the puck in the d-zone. Case in point...
-
Giving somebody the "C" who may not be completely ready for it can have a positive influence on their game. If it's anybody but Eichel I'll be shocked.
-
Any reports on Antipin? Is he NHL caliber?
-
Not a fan of Girgensons with ROR, or Pominville with Eichel. Maybe it will work, and I don't really know who else might fit there, so whatever for now.
-
Can Jack save us? That's a definite maybe.
-
I think there exists a very likely scenario where Guhle outplays Antipin in camp/preseason. Antipin I just don't see having much success on a smaller ice surface where his lack of size will be a detriment in the d-zone.
-
Every team in the NHL wants to play that way. Have you ever heard a coach say... "We want to play a slow and passive game, lulling them to sleep so we can sneak a few pucks by them". Can Housley get everyone to buy in? Will Kane cover for a rushing Risto? What about Eichel, do you see him hanging back so McCabe can spend some time below the goal line? I don't know.
