It is dying away but there are still scraps. Mainly I'm hoping Zack can play with Elias and be counted on to make sure the super swede doesn't get too badly mauled.

Goal:thecup Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 3 games in 4 nights after this SJ game; nice hard schedule, and in the division, somewhat similar to the playoffs. Should provide a good opportunity to sort the pretenders from the players. Only 15 days left until the trade deadline. I could live without Goldy and whichever yutes JB decides to trade. I think it would be cool to reward this team with a good LW and a good RD. We would have to, but we can afford to, give up Goldy and some others. Less, if guys like MacEwen can make the lineup. Who knows, with Hughes and maybe Dahlen, the team could start to round out. Then, make the playoffs and knock out the Flams in the first round. See where it goes after that.

I think Green has done a good job of expecting more of Goldobin - and fairly so. Goldobin has had a few short impressive stints this year, but highly inconsistent efforts. I still think that Goldobin is a 'young-minded' person - one that it sometimes pays off to be patient with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be more succinct, the enforcer is gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not ready to cut bait on Goldy yet, so long as he continues to be in good spirits and wants to learn and improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutter is an elite shutdown center. JV is a developing two-way winger - I don't see the point in claiming he's 'better' than Sutter - or even those other wingers for that matter - again very different types of players.

Larionov made a few comments as though expecting more opportunity - but haven't really gotten that vibe from Goldobin thankfully. He really has nothing to complain about - and if anything, has had inflated production via his situational opportunities. He just needs to play harder without the puck, quite simply. Guys that don't get that deserve the pushback they get from people that expect more of them. It paid off well for Baertschi.....Goldy is fortunate that injuries have provided him with perhaps more opportunity than he's necessarily earned this year. At the same time, he could easily have another half-dozen goals this season - he's been as unlucky as anyone where goalposts, insane saves, etc have been concerned.

Leivo’s been on fire so I’d keep him with Pettersson and Boeser. Playing with Horvat and MacEwen would be good for Goldobin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the Baer relapse, maybe. I don't see it now and there's a chance Baer isn't coming back for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighting is gone First part yes, second part no. Especially in the playoffs where tempers flare and gloves drop. The game is trending towards less fighting but it will never truly be gone.
