Eleven Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I've seen enough of Porter (as with Ellis), and Hammy has me convinced that Armia isn't ready yet, but Larsson or Varone would have been great choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Such a stupid move. Really, what was the point? and who is making the moves.....Nolan, LaFontaine or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Such a stupid move. Really, what was the point? Tank Nation. It's the only one that makes sense. Lets ensure the player we bring up will have no positive impact what so ever. Last year, they brought up Porter and Flynn and got better. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two or less Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 and who is making the moves.....Nolan, LaFontaine or both? Paul Hamilton said it was Ted Nolan. He was at the Amerks outdoor game the night before and was impressed with Ellis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Oh, no. No. Nolan's decision making process is questionable. Being "impressed" with Ellis, playing Foligno on the 4th line, waiving Tropp in favor of D'Agostini, playing Flynn at all, sitting McNabb with regularity. Not impressive.

nfreeman Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Well, I think Nolan and PLF both believe in playing veterans who play responsibly and passionately over more-talented kids who haven't really learned the NHL game yet. Given the night-and-day difference in the team's play under Nolan, I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt on these decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our goal is to win the SC, isn't Foligno on the 4th line just about right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 If our goal is to win the SC, isn't Foligno on the 4th line just about right? While I know why you say that, on this team he's top 6 potential, on a contender I see him as a 3rd line guy who can play top 6 and the PP in front of the net. He's too good to play the same minutes as John Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'm torn on the Foligno front because what ink says is true. At the same time, I appreciate the idea of some tough love and Marcus seems like a kid that might benefit. He certainly hasn't played the way he can and was a liability yesterday.

bunomatic Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Lets be clear. All three coaches last year and this have had zero talent to work with. If Nolan is juggling guys like Flynn, Ellis, Tropp, D Agostini , Scott and losers like Stafford and Leino in and out of the lineup he clearly doesn't have much to play with. I'm sure I missed some. This team sukcs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree with you 100% (and of course it's been obvious all season), this post really hit home as to how far we are from being a championship-caliber team.
