  1. Can't wait to see a top line of Shink / Horvat / Kass in about 4 years
  2. ya when he's 27 and scoring 30 and 55-60 pts and terrorizing defenses and making an impact in the playoffs you'll say differently you so called fans are so blind its unbelievable you think players develop over night, you assume they can just be stars automatically idiots oh the sedins (so called busts) say hello so does kesler (so called top end 3rd liner) so does burrows who started in the echl so does naslund who was traded not ever player breaks out like bure you infants
  3. All you 'if he doesn't pan out in 2 years' people May want to consider the age at which the Vancouver Canucks traded for one of the best power forwards to ever play this game (Bertuzzi). You may want to consider what the knocks on him were in New York You may want to look at his age when he came here, the point totals he put up in his first few years here You may want to look at what age he was when he finally put it all together Then,, take your stupidity and shove it in your stupid pieholes
  4. I really want Nashville to win, lets get a high pick...its getting annoying seeing Winnipeg not jump us, New Jersey, Nashville, Ottawa, and Carolina continuously squander their games in hand.... If Tanev, Daniel and Kesler are out, I like our chances for a loss! VANCOUVER GP 71 P 72 NEW JERSEY GP 69 P 71 WINNIPEG GP 70 P 71 OTTAWA GP 68 P 69 CAROLINA GP 69 P 69 NASHVILLE GP 69 P 68
  5. One question, why did Burr photobomb after dropping a deuce? His pants aren't even up yet
  6. To be honest I am just enjoying seeing a young player with some emotion and energy and who is big, can skate and score! Jensen is a real keeper and look at the energy he's given to Henrik and Burr...those two look like their old selves all of a sudden...that at least is promising!! Hansen, monkey gone!
  7. Yup! and he'll probably trade him for a 2nd rounder and a defensive prospect lol....
  8. quite smart of the coaching staff to use players that Lou isn't used to seeing in the shootout Jensen, Dalpe and Mattias
  9. Very good point, Jensen being ready, and his confidence, smart hard play, well some of that credit needs to go to the Utica coaching staff....good sign for the future if they can help players who are close make the jump!
  10. I don't want us to get hot and just miss the playoffs, that's pointless Yes it helps the confidence for next year but it will also make our pick worse, not help us make the changes we need etc I like that Burr has found his game and that Jensen is showing he has elite hands and great size and speed. He is what that line needed, it was too slow with Daniel as well. Jensen proving he can stick there is enough for me this season. I hope we can just play hard to the end but not mess up our pick, hard enough that we don''t crack Eddie, Jensen gains confidence, Kassian / Schroeds get more ice to develop. Next year, assuming we move one or two of Kesler, Garrison, Edler or whomever, or sign a good UFA with Booth's savings and Lou's savings, well we'll be competitive. Our season was a mash / clusterfack...this really has to be written off. This team is not as bad as we saw over the last 3 months but it also needs an injection of youth, speed and enthusiasm, therefore changes. Should Jensen continue to play well, if Horvat and Shink push next year, and if we can sign a strong UFA...even without trades we will be a very competitive team. This isn't a bad team folks! and we have 8 mil to sign players if Horvat can't make the jump but I think he can, and having him play with Daniel and Kesler would help him develop incredibly well. The kid is a great distributor and a 2 way player, isn't that what we need from the Kes trade? So keep Kes and use the guy we already have! No brainer here. If Shink pushes, wow, we will have a log jam of young guns pushing. I believe MG was hoping this would happen at the start of the season but it appears we were one year behind...so be it...get another high pick this year and we have some depth. I think most are pleasantly surprised to see how good Jensen is, he is a true sniper folks, not a maybe 2nd liner, he has elite potential, something most of us assumed only Shinkaruk has...

  11. I agree, he seems to have a hunger that many of our players seem to lack...including Kass at times...I love that he seems to want to be a difference maker, and is being one, and more importantly, he clearly has recognized his opportunity here...and is taking advantage of it... If this can allow the twins to be split, Daniel is moved to the second line and can come back a bit more 'normal' next year, sign a ufa and keep Kes we may not be too bad. I do think MG expected Jensen and Kass to play a bigger role this year, and some rebound seasons from Daniel/Booth but didn't get any of that other than a nice progression from Kass, and add in a mess from the rest of the team, and we were done... Granted its only Florida but at least we're seeing some improvement recently in our scoring
  12. Screw you Burr haters And umm Is it me or have we found a replacement for Daniel in Jensen? Daniel to the second line next year and Hank/Burr/Jensen is our new number 1? Burr / Hank / Jensen Daniel / Kesler / UFA Mattias / Santo / Kassian Higgins / Richardson / Hansen Hmm...not so bad And that excludes guys like Horvat or Shink making a push and any signings other than a real second liner
  13. Man that play by Jensen in his own end then to keep control all the way down the boards...this kid is NHL ready...his size and speed are tremendous.. He may be alot better than people expected..wow What I like about him is he is not shying away from battles, going hard to the net, etc...most players even if they are big, when they are young are a bit intimidated, he is not physically intimidated by anyone, time in the AHL appears to really have helped him... this is great!
  14. Higgins, Mattias, Santo worked out, Markstrom we will see Booth, Ballard, Garrison all junk and guess what, all the biggest contracts, seems like we appear to be Florida's garbage collector
  15. He has been using his body well for most of the year...If he was being paid like the 3rd liner he is, he'd be fine to keep, but 4.25 is too much... If he was being paid 2.5 I'd have no problem keeping him for his speed and hitting...that line of him/schroeder and Kass is actually pretty good at eating minutes and cycling, but just hasn't put it together...but yes for 4.25 has to go...
  16. yes..apparently...I guess he'll get a new on in the offseason...but it is what he did, for real
  17. Positives 1. Lack is ok 2. Jensen is a keeper - where are all those 'He's a bust' people lol. This kid has hands and size..amazing what happens when you allow young talent to play with talent vs trying to turn them into grinders (aka Kassian) 3. Mattias again looks good, not bad value in the Lou trade if he plays like this consistently and we got the cap removal....so flexibility 4. Kassian is playing better and better hopefully next year he can make the jump to a permanent fixture on the second line 5. Burr appears to be back, couple of goals a few games ago, great chances and a cross bar in Washington, sweet pass to Jensen tonight Negatives 1. Garrison is garbage 2. Why was there no one who went after upshall? our season is done, imagine if that happened to the Bruins? jeez
  18. Ask Gillis....if that's what he gives Torts that what Tort's has
  19. Positives Higgins having a terrific game Matthias actually looks like he will be a very valuable player, as much as I hate MG, the Lou trade actually looks pretty good given the salary unloading, and this kid's size and skating ability, and he plays hard Jensen looks more ready than Kassian already...seems to have alot more confidence, great goal and goes to the hard spots, he is actually making the first line better than with Daniel..great sign Lack comes back from a few tough goals with a big save to hold us in... We scored more than 2 without Daniel and Kesler If we can make some decent deals this offseason (Kesler and maybe one Dman) we may have a decent future And we lost which helps our draft spot Better to lose with effort and not mess up our pick!
  20. Its the Winnipeg fans...didn't you hear about the 11 yr old kid wearing a Tavares jersey vs the Isles and took abuse from adults? Tavares, the amazing guy he is, heard about it, had the team send him an autographed Jersey and has said he will meet the kid and his mom and a morning skate next year.... All class, too bad the winnipeg fans aren't....
