I actually think that Biega plays better as a forward than as a defenseman. His skating without the puck is pretty decent and he's stocky for his height, thus he throws a pretty good check. He kinda reminds me of a very mini/poor man's version of Brent Burns, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy recovery and hope to hear a lot more of this next season: i agree with everything these guys are saying. but where do these guys buy their clothes? 1994?

I'm thinking with short gloves and slashing at our shooters. I used to make my son wear wrist bands like for tennis because of all the slashing.

If ND loses to Boston he's available to us (or Utica) If they win, we'll have to wait til next year. Utica is 1 point behind St. Johns for the final playoff spot in their division, with 12 games left. So no guarantee there either. Nope, but they are, essentially, in the playoffs right now. Every single game they play is the most important game of the year, and the intensity level of the games is terrific and the young prospects are eating it up. Its the most enjoyment I've gotten watching hockey since the 2011 run. I'd love to see Boeser get that experience and help the team. They need some goals. Then add in Gaunce and Goldobin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Wow. Granlund was as good as he was with a bum wrist. Damn. Well done, Markus. And well done Benning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDangles53 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Folks, maybe the hockey gods are smiling on this snake bitten franchise finally? We've been so unlucky this year in a year we NEEDED a high pick given our luck last year dropping back and the fact we really lack a second center to compliment Bo Losing one of our top players is certainly going to 'help' team tank - and not that i subscribe to that approach but once you're out you may has well shut down players and not care about losing. Get the highest pick you can! Come on Patrick/Hirchier or Middlestadt - personally I think CM will be the steal of the draft at 4/5 - and I'd be estatic if that's who we get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty crazy he was sniping like that with a messed up wrist. Maybe he couldn't feel it but there was damage who knows but still to be weakened there and playing professional hockey as well has he has been is impressive. Look forward to seeing even more from him when he's healthy next year. I suspect Edler and Sutter are injured too, obviously not surgery level but you can see it at least in Sutter, and maybe Edler is just worn down from being overused given the injuries this year on the back end.

As someone else put it, Sutter playing injured is the worst kept secret on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Geez, I can't wait to see what the games lost total is at the end of the season. Last few years have been really brutal for injuries. Alright WD, play Megna as much as you want. At least we know he won't score if given twenty minutes a night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Juice Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 8 hours ago, Pete M said: Looking at the upcoming schedule...that 65 pts projection may come true...need one more win to prove them wrong; All said and done, the prediction may not be that far off. Should get a high draft pick...1st, 2nd overall, hopefully. Hope Granlund fully recovers. We're not going to lose the remainder of our games. I expect at least a couple of wins here and an OT/SO loss. Got a feeling we can beat the Jets and the Kings to knock them out of the playoffs if they're not out already.

Then add in Gaunce and Goldobin In any case, whatever happens up here, sure looks like Utica got stacked quick! With Demko smashing planets, and you add Goldobin (hypothetically), Dahlen, Boeser, and sprinkle in the MacEwen's and the Chatfields.... I haven't watched that many games this year but I'm gonna have to tune in here more often over the last stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
