Fanuck Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 4 minutes ago, Where'd Luongo? said: I still have hopes for a calder run. That team should eventually have Demko, Lind, Gaudette, Gaunce, Archibald and maybe Hughes at the end of the season. That would be a HUGE addition to the team and would give them a great shot at making a serious run. They aren't that far away right now, a 5 game win streak. I truly hope you're right for the sake of the development of the entire franchise. But they've only won back-to-back games ONCE all season so.....but I'll try to be more optimistic like you.

Every interview or article I’ve heard or seen on him, he’s had a positive outlook and is working hard to improve every game. He admits he’s not ready to play in the NHL and is improving in all areas. It’s not easy to transition to pro over in NA compared to Europe. I imagine it hasn’t been easy for him, but he’s taking it in stride. Thinking the media is probably to blame for those stupid rumours No one can say Dahlen does not have character after what he did in Sweden last year. Stayed with his team when he could have moved up to the SEL. Enough said. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already know what Archy does to the AHL too. We haven't seen the Utica Comets yet. Edited November 22, 2018 by Where'd Luongo? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media are the same guys providing us with the interviews and articles that, as you note, portray Dahlén with “a positive outlook” and “working hard to improve every game.” Nope, I blame the fans. And maybe the call-in radio shows, but their content is driven by the fans anyway. Same goes for Twitter. But at far as the more legitimate media, like the ones with actual articles and interviews, they’ve generally been pretty good with their reporting on Dahlén.

I think Dahlen will be a key part of our top 6 in two years time. If its sooner then thats fantastic and will only speed up the winning process.

I know that Pettersson and Dahlen played well together in the summer. actually loved the way they played together. Goldy has 15 points this season, putting him at 3rd on the team. Now you can make the argument that he is playing with our best player, but it is still impressive. He also has a below average shooting percent at under 9. The kid seems to hit a post or 2 every game. With a little puck luck those numbers could be boosted and he could have several more points. That's not even mentioning that he generally looks much more engaged (all be it not always effective) away from the puck. Goldy has been a huge positive this year Completely agree about Poo though, he has looked rough lately. I cant wait to see the swedes reunited one day.

I agree, so I am not addressing you with what follows ( I enjoy your analyses whether I agree with them or not - I like that you always give a firsthand viewpoint from your own perceptions). There are a lot of people who make a lot of comments without seeing anything for themselves - they just echo a bunch of naysayers or yahooers trying to sound cool. I believe the proper thing to do is watch the games,analyze the play as objectively as you can. Take into account the player's level of development, and make a reasonable judgement based on what you see with your own eyes. If you misread something, at least it was your own judgement based on what you see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray_Cathode Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Dahlen with two goals, seven assists, nine points in his last eleven games - so far, with two periods to go. Looking much more confident in his adjustment to North American hockey. Pettersson’s Once and Future Left Winger? (If you liked The Lord of the Rings books, T.H. White’s “Once and Future King” is right up there.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
