  1. I got a ton of confused faces for saying this in November. Petey is so small he gets manhandled a lot.
  2. Stecher didn't even touch Nylander with his hand. I miss John and John. These commentators make me mad.
  3. Beagle comes flying in. Lol. I love this guy. Team player. Overpaid? Not even a little.
  4. Gillis for a rebuilding team? Interesting. Or maybe they think they have the young future core pieces and trust Gillis to surround those kids with quality vets to put em over the top. Gillis inherited the 2011 core from past GMs but can't discount the players he brought in around them through trade/free agency. I'd like to see Gillis in the NHL again just to see how he does.
  5. Props to Greener for not hooking Demko, sorry to the fire Green crowd. I missed the first 5-10 minutes but it's great that he gave Demko his trust after those 2 weak ones. Demko has looked great ever since.
  6. Honestly, the one thing I actually like about Eriksson's game is his forecheck. But he is abysmal or meh at everything else. Lol.
  7. Hard to have confidence when every little mistake is under a microscope from not just the fans but the coaching staff too. His leeway to make plays is so short. People make every excuse in the book for other players but Jake gets called lazy and unintelligent all the time if he has an off game.
  8. I been hyping shot since his draft. It's why I always get so frustrated when people say he should be more of a powerforward. Let the man rip shots. His clapper has some mustard on it too.
  9. Controversial opinion but I honestly think Jake has one of the best shots on the team. If he gets a bit more active in the ozone he could be a deadly scorer.
  10. Point shots with traffic in front seems to be the plan. Or wingers chucking low percentage shots from the half boards.
  11. Couple nice blocked shots by Beags and Motte too. Hopefully it's just a stinger on Beags.
  12. Thought the same thing when I seen Jake with Petey and Miller. It was temporary. We aren't allowed to have nice things.
  13. Sedins actually connected on them. Not sure why this group is doing it.
  14. Weirdly enough, this will probably get the Benning haters going, the only player Benning has traded for an extended without actually seeing them play was Sutter. Lol. I was also hoping a Toffoli deal would happen shortly after the trade. I wonder if they are just seeing what Virtanen, Tanev and Marky want/will get before committing money to someone else. I think Virtanen's asking price will matter less because he is an RFA and doesn't NEED to be re-signing before/around July 1st.
  15. Other than Eriksson I don't think any of our vets are underproducing, maybe Benn. Edler has been good. Tanev is paid fair for his production. Myers has been good, we all knew he wasn't gonna be a defensive zone stalwart. He looks good overall. Miller, Pearson and Toffoli have all been great. So again, not sure how Benning has overpaid underproducing vets. Overpaid? Yeah in a few cases mostly Eriksson and Sutter. But underproducing seems like hyperbole. Sutter could be better but it's hard to expect middle 6 production from a guy being played on the 4th line. Everyone else is fine.
  16. I mean, we've largely been running the same line combos for the last few weeks (few small exceptions but the 3rd and 2nd line have been the same pretty much and the 4th line just seen Schaller replaced with Motte). We are 4-7 in our last 11 games. Something has to give. These games are too important to be playing favourites or sticking with the "safe" veteran picks. Eriksson had a good run in November/December. But he does not belong in the top 6 of a playoff team. Our best players need to be playing in our top 6. Eriksson is arguably our worst forward. Him being in the top 6 is nothing short of criminal.
  17. Didn't take long for people to turn on Demko. Not like this is his first year of being a full time backup. Stops 37 of 40 shots against Boston, nobody bats an eye. Gives up a softy against Ottawa and all of a sudden we have a problem with the guy. Lol. Lets give the guy a fair shake before we jump ship on him. Or not, what do I know.
  18. Possibly. With the back to back it's true you probably don't wanna be running the guys too hard. Petey had some pep in his step against Ottawa. Other than him, Miller and Toffoli were the only other forwards that looked like they had their legs under them. Tough to tell if it's too much down time or if they were just sleeping at the wheel cause it's Ottawa and they didn't really respect them.
  19. They’ve had a lot of time off the last few weeks. Even more if you include the bye and all star weekend. Maybe they are out of rhythm from all this time off.
  20. Leave it to Vancouver to get scored on 3 times by a guy with 1 goal in 17 games coming in. Poor shot selection by our guys. Was hoping to ride a high from the Boston game. Oh well, on to Toronto.
  21. I really like Hoglander, sure many of us do. But I'd be 100% okay with him staying in the SHL one more year, or if he's willing Utica.
  22. I don't see how Tanev is worth more than Muzzin. At best Tanev is worth similar to Muzzin but to make almost half a mil more, I'd rather just let him walk. If I am Benning I offer him 5ish mil or he can leave. Tanev's offensive total is partly due to Hughes. Watching this guy make moves in the ozone leaves A LOT to be desired. Except that one move he made in OT that one time. Lol.
  23. Missing half their defense? Psh, try being a Canucks fan where that seems to be the norm every season but this one. Knock on wood it stays that way.
  24. And looking at the moves Pittsburgh made this may all be for nothing. Lol. Tampa must really be tired of busting in the 1st/2nd round. GM is on the hotseat I guess. These picks won't matter to him if his team fails in the playoffs again. This will be a problem for another GM. With that said the team isn't old by any means. The main cast will still be kicking 3-4 years down the road. So if I were Tampa I wouldn't sweat the picks. I do think the players they got were me though.
