If McCabe doesn’t hit, or enforce, or play a good PK then what good is he? He's not. Unless Laine is playing. 2 minutes ago, French Collection said: One of the things that annoys me with him and Dahlin is they seem to lack a sense of urgency. Their calmness can be an asset at times but they are too relaxed for important moments. I'm not ready to compare Dahlin to Eichel in that regard. Dahlin at times looks tentative or overconfident with it, but their body language isn't similar, and Dahlin also doesn't have to worry about driving the net, really.

What a meathead Mittelstadt was slapping his stick on the ice for the pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro60 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 IMO this game will dictate what the rest of the season will be. So far this team has underwhelmed. Lose tonight and the outlook is bleak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole local boy thing and their star centers are aging into the mid 30's rapidly. Buffalo needs goal scoring, along with tenacity. Pastrnak and Coyle for Eichel? I'd pull that trigger, Pastrnak is a beast on the puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastrnak is producing at about double the rate for about half the cost so, I don't think the Bruins make that move Edited November 15, 2019 by Thorny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been converted on this issue. When he is away from the puck, he does look casual, but he is big enough and skilled enough to be in the right place while conserving energy. Watch McDavid. He does the same thing. They both kick it into gear when they get the puck. But my problem is when he has the puck, he doesn't use his line mates anymore (like he did at the beginning of the season.) I can't think of a meaningful pass not on the PP by him to a line mate in the last 10 games. Edited November 15, 2019 by SwampD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of a meaningful pass by him to a line mate in the last 10 games. He doesn't drive to the net, he's kind of a perimeter player. A very good one, but one nonetheless. Quick, name the last time he roofed one from the slot. Ala Briere on that breakaway vs Carolina in 06, I think game 3.
