We also have Jake looking for a raise. If we sit him to start it Devalues his pay if he doesn't perform well in the playoffs. As it fits greens description of him not being ready. It's a win win in some regards even tho him playing well is our and the orgs preference.

If Jake came out like a ball out of a cannon I would be stoked. For all we know this is part of greens maturation process for Jake. He has taught him how to play the right way. Now green wants to make sure he plays the way he trained him for his first NHL playoff game. If he goes flat into his first game it won't sink in. He needs to be refocused like a sensor. Once green has his dialed in he can release the beast. Imagine Jake and Ferland both hitting everything that moves . This may not be a he's fallen out flavour but more this is his fine tuning so he knows when it's playoff time you play hard. You can't go through the motions as a player like Jake. His style of play requires a hunger and intensity for him to be effective. I believe this is just an elaborate teaching moment for green. More so then Jake losing his spot.

Green is a phneomal poker player. So is Jake. Perhaps this is an elaborate rouse to trick Minny into thinking Jake won't play. Then bamm. Jake scores in the first 10 minutes!

Saros is getting ventilated lol Go Yotes!

A look back at the start of it all. Jimbo on Day 1. This is the man, our saviour, our GM! Jim Benning! yay baby
-
One video I watched on the incident. a guy mentions it looks like MT is trying to slow down with his right foot but his skate bounces off the ice and kicks up. Makes sense from the angle they showed it on. But MT is still a dirty player either way.

manny's look at the end of that Tofolli video is hilarious hahaha
-
We definitely need more teams lol. Unless we are starting in the conference finals haha I love how this is almost an exact replica of the 2011 conference finals btw. Chicago in place of San Jose lol.

I like the overalls - Newhook is probably a touch higher maybe 75 and Kaprizov is likely an 89 I only say 89 because I have him on my fantasy team here on CDC hahaha. (Fingers crossed) he is as good or better than Panarin. Newhook destroyed the NCAA. I watched a lot of him live here in town. I noticed you are from Victoria too? Did you get a chance to see him out in Colwood with the Grizzley's the last couple of years?

This series is all about "PLAYOFF EXPERIENCE". I will try not to get emotional or mad at the players when they are learning. But if Sutter or another vet screws us its on! lol I think we need to temper expectations some. Most of us feel confident, I don't want us (myself) putting unnecessary expectations on the guys. If we can beat the wild then we can get amped up and start talking cup win! But this first series is going to be tough lol. Let's not freak out if we lose.

Will see how you fare on Day 2.

The round robin teams will just be re seeded. Wanted to show them where they are at after each day. As Greens said. Waiting until the conclusion of day 2 before worrying is probably wise. Most if not all game 1 matches will be complete by end of day 2. I for example only had 5 players active last night and I will have upwards or 12-14 tonight. As an example though: EAST ROUND ROBIN EAST ROUND ROBIN #1 NEW JERSEY WASHINGTON #2 #1 VANCOUVER WINNIPEG #2 7 PTS 26 PTS 43 PTS 10 PTS VS VS #3 DETROIT FLORIDA #4 #3 ARIZONA NASHVILLE #4 33 PTS 11 PTS 26 PTS 23 PTS You already know this I am sure but I feel like explaining it anyways lol: Let's say this round ended today the teams would be re-seed DET #1, WSH #2, FLA, #3, and NJ #4. which would mean DET (you) would play the lowest remaining seed out of the teams through 5-12. So DET (you) in theory would have to play one of: PHI #12, PIT #11, CAR #10, OTT #9, or MTL #8 in round 1 of the actual playoffs. (The play-in teams would be "relabelled as seeds 5-8 in each conference too due to the play-in not being an official playoff round even though they are counting play-in points as playoff points... silly nhl lol)

I don't like Louie's commenting. They lack synergy and Chris Cuthbert is a boss and legend. DeBrusk is definitely the weak link. If he talks up our Canucks though I may give him some leeway in judgement lol.
-
Rooster talking smack. I approve. That will make his line the line of focus on the ice. Guess who's on that line? Ferland hahaa. now when they think of Roussel they will quickly think of Ferland. When they get hit by Ferland they will think of the Rooster. 200 IQ mind games, les go!
-
Love the conversation in here. I think we may actually see Pearson on our 3rd line if we go deep at some point. I'm curious how we would look if we shifted him down that would give us a PK'er potentially in our bottom 6 (if he's any good at the pk). I hate having top 6 guys doing pk duties. Makes it so you can't put them out there right after a PK to generate offence and momentum.

That series is over my friend. Sscheifeeleeeee and Laine out. That is a wrap. Unless Roslovic and Harkins somehow become stars.
-
This size conversation is starting to remind me of the whole wingspan discussion from a few years back.
-
So 6'1 something? sounds about right.
-
They might actually win something if they do. He would be a fantastic fit there.
-
Can I throw in a towel? lol I just got my butt kicked in day 1.

Mangiapane did me in tonight with a late 11 PT add to PIT's totals. Well played kid, well played!
