  1. He doesn't have to be dirty. Its the patented smirk and french accent coated smack talk drive players absolutely insane. Theyre not sure what he said but picked out bits and pieces. Burr had this in spades. Miss that guy, but rous is making it easier to cope.
  2. "Tanevs physical downside". Not every member of the D have to throw hits to show Physical dominance. Tanev"s game is all about using his body to seperate man from puck which he does extremlely well. Without taking penalties. Hows that not physical when the majority of these guys out weigh him.And actually making passes that cross our blue line to someone.....In this aspect Edler and Myers over the last few games were not playing their best and actually fairly poorly. Eddy had a great game tonite as did the entire team. Im pretty sure Tanevs jumping in on sutters behalf was fairly physical even though he'd not fair well if he didn't hold on tight. In my opinion hes 1 defence that is a must stay for these upcoming years.
  3. Hes been playing some great hockey of late. A little youth injected into his veins from Quinn ,perhaps.
  4. Completely agree, Oscar has been playing well. he payed much better than Eddy and Myers in last nights game.
  5. Its not like we lost to the worst team in the league . Jesus, had a great first period. Tampa's been a Cup team for the past 3-4 years playing with the same core players. A couple of the D should be ashamed in how they played tonight which i believed turned this game into the crap show it ended up being. Take it out on the panthers, start a new winning streak.
  6. Lmao why link tanev in there... had the better game out of all the defence. Our rookiie D played a more complete game than edler or myers. would have been nice if either of those 2 could complete a pass could make a pass once in a while....
  7. O snap, cant wait to hear what we can get for Marky at the trade deadline.... im on pins and needles.
  8. This is the Jake thread all over again. because hes not a super star now hes a bust .Im looking forward to when he can beat this injury funk get back to his game and put all this nonsense to bed.
  9. it was a beautiful cross ice pass to erickson 4 feet outside our blue line is more of a concern
  10. Key phrase there is "hopefully" I can see trading Tanev when there is a player to replace.
  11. Myers doesnt look no where as good with Huggy if thats what your impying. Tanev allows Quin wiggled room to f up and not pay for it.
  12. Better be careful Alf.. walking a fine line to a 25k slander suit.. lol
  13. I agree. Tanev also has a very accurate first pass out . Double threat. Tanevs very smart at seperating player from puck and huggy is always prepared to take that pass and exit the zone. And as a note... exit the zone with possesion not scared $&!#tless and throw it up the ice. Tanevs never had that type of partner before. When i see that pairing on the ice, all is good.
  14. Hes avoiding a lot more heavy hits than in the past and keeps his feet moving constantly.I ,100% believe that the forwards blocking shots up high instead of him taking it full speed down low is making all the difference. Im a big Tanev fan and always have been. Hes the warrior that every team needs and i hope he stays ours for a while. Best defensive pairing the nucks have Tanev/Huggy.
  15. I tend to agree myself on most of your points. I also do see him as the weakest player of PP1 at the moment .Im not sure its so much of lack of skill as more so his reaction speed to incoming passes to taking a shot or passing. Seems to be a bit slow. When he keeps his feet moving its like night and day. He gets open to making that shot or getting his passes through.
  16. Beagle plays a huge part in that as well. We have a pretty descent fourth line thats for sure.
  17. It seemed they were. The players see loui as a Canuck and treat him as one..
  18. Theres not 1 D-man in Utica that can replace what Tanev brings to this team atm. Sure maybe a year or 2 or 3 maybe someone breaks out to provide that stability.Quite a fewD from Utica have been called up this year alone. Maybe they haven't played a game or more but coaching staff are definately having a look.during practices. Why trade a guy like Tanev away when he will be the guy staff will be looking for during playoffs.Could be quite an expensive gamble.I think as much as Tanev has done for Quinn the reverse could be said. Tanev very rarely gets hammered into the boards regularly, hes moving hes feet .Barely ever stationary. His first pass out is almost perfect to clear the zone. thats not dumping it down ice but a pass .The forwards have also chipped in blocking shots more often at the shooter not allowing Tanev to jump in front 15 feet away. I believe thats why Tanev is as healthy as opposed to years before. As i have mentioned before my belief is Tanev will sign a team friendly contract, both money and term to be part of this team. Ive heard it before and agree that we wont get anything close in return for what he offers us now. Hes a keeper.
  19. We will need what Tanev brings to this team during play off games. Hes having a great year so far and is playing strong. hes a much better pairing with Quinn than any other defender we have ATM. I bet he signs a team friendly contract both money and term.
  20. I'm not sure if i'm "nitpicking" but i do see where Brock gets into some troubles.Hes way to stationary on the PP which he either gets pinched quicker (as others have said)affecting his passing plays or is to flat footed to receive the odd pass just outside his reach. His point production is also elevated by the sheer intelligence of one Ellias Petterson(that being said you need that shot to score on those opportunities). Not sure how many points hes gotten when green shuffles the deck and hes on Bo's line.Brock is a superstar winger , but some skating work in the summer over "Da beauty league" or combined would put him over the top. Maybe its just a funk hes in also, with his dad being sick. that would weigh heavy on a young kid.
