Rob_Zepp Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 EP is playing wing on a second line - coaches seem to want him to ignite a couple of guys who have been slow getting points lately. Yikes, Frolunda followed up a great shift with another goal. Bit of a hole for the Lakers at 2-0. Come'on EP, your teams needs a goal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 14 hours ago, Ray_Cathode said: Does Tanev play for us? I thought mostly he was just hurt. Last year he played 53 games, if we are lucky, he might get that many again this year - that is if we count all of the games when he is subpar because he if playing hurt and thus less effective. Staying healthy is a skill, and Tanev does not have it - it s not merely a matter of chance that some players are hurt so much and others not. Injury is more attached to the way players play and train. Players that are injured a lot tend to keep getting injured until they breakdown entirely and can no longer play the game. The time to move Tanev is before that happens, and with the way he keeps getting hurt, I’d say we have a closing wi where his value in trade diminishes with each new injury. You nailed my main reason for wanting to move Tanev over the past 2 seasons. To many fans assume skilled players last like the Twins. Tanev's career could end at any time just like any other player. The dif is as you outlined he plays a dangerous game that leads to injuries. As SilentSam clearly points out the value that Tanev offered is likely going to shift downward. I'm hoping the Laffers get booted out of the playoffs quickly and see the value of a shutdown d-man like Tanev. He gets to go back home and gets a CUP shot with the Laffers next year. The Rielly-Tanev pairing at World's two years ago was golden. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, who knows? still the same, I would think. If he doesn't get that, he doesn't move him 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't get that, he doesn't move him It's kind of irrelevant, since the chances of JB moving him are vanishingly small. Tanev is the type/quality of player a GM looks to acquire, not the kind you dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat has a good combination of both size, speed and puck handling ability.... let him be a "Bo" in a china shop, Boeser with the snipes and Pettersson with the set-ups. It's not blasphemy... it's just incorrect. If anything, Pettersson plays the wing and Horvat the center. Horvat doesn't play wing, but Pettersson has/does. Besides the fact that center is so darn important, it makes more sense to have the more experienced of the two playing center as opposed to wing. However, at some point I 99% expect it to be Pettersson manning the 1st line center, and Horvat centering the 2nd line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Zepp Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 EP's team lost 2-1 today and Frolunda did a great job tying up EP. Mattsson made some good saves but Lakers didn't look as dangerous as they usually do and this was probably the least impactful game I have seen EP play this year.

Was wondering about that game as I didn’t get to watch today. Seemed like the Lakers offense was really suppressed (just going by some of the stats). Solid game plan on the Frölunda side or did Växjö have a poor outing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzlyAdams Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Frolunda badly outplayed Vaxjo today. Didn't look like Vaxjo came to play, based on what I saw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForzaTikare Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Växjö was missing som core players, hasnt had anything to play for sin christmas and with just 3 games left to playoffs i think its quite expected They might have a few "off moments" First period was all Frölunda, second was Växjös and third was 75/25 to Frölunda... EP had som good setups to OpenOffice players in the slot which They failed to score on, i agree They didnt play on their best, neither did EP but even on a bad day you can see his ups at moments.. Thats the reason he has all those points, you can never leave him at his own at any time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
