  1. Glad to see Jake back, a bit rusty(to be expected) but nice to see him comfortably using his body.
  2. I could be wrong but i think the "sophmore slump" onus should be placed where it belongs. In their first years players are put in positions to succeed. In their second or Sophmore years they have a laundry list of skills asked by coaching and training staff to work on. i think brocks a prime example. First year was leaned on to fire pucks at the net from the half wall 5v5 and 1PP. During the summer months i bet he was asked to work on his legs and core so he wasn't getting pushed off pucks as easy. With his lower back injury, i believe he could really only focus on his upper body. Brock has been working on his 200' game all year. He retrieves pucks ,works the boards, HIs passing and puck control at speed has improved remarkably. And still has that wicked wrister. I believe this 'Sophmore slump" issue is expected/accepted by management who are actually looking at year3 to see what they got. I believe Brock to be lights out next year just by how hes improved his other details of his game this year. Hutty this year is another prime example.Petterson is the anomally, hes improving everything all in game his first year.
  3. And what are your thoughts of his play in the first period of last nights Vegas game.Id rather see an Eddy that has some form of consistancy. Isn't that expected out of every other player?
  4. Hes been given his opportunity and is proving himself quite well .
  5. Ridiculous statement. good at sitting and waiting ?
  6. Absolute Myth. Because of injuries they haven't been ABLE to sit him in favor of a failing, over-hyped "prospect" in pouliot. When guddy stayed in the line-up having horrible season production/numbers and doesn't even do what he was signed to do.Saving face on both projects maybe? Biega is fast, good puck control, great on the boards, hits, he can actually get his shot through to the keeper while keeping it completely tipable or playable for rebounds,can actually hit the net with more consistency than others. I just don't see why he wasn' t offered these kinds of minutes in the past over a tired beatup mess they've been trying to play all year.Loving what sautner has brought and schenn is doing. Trade Tanev (always liked him)but need a guy who can play a full season.If Eddy wont sign a 2yr 5-6mil deal let him walk. These 2 guys are replaceable !!!! Pouliot is gone.(pls) Lets drop all this sentimental crap and get this team moving forward.
  7. I haven't seen anything publicly announced but i have a feeling TM is playing hurt. He hasn't been fore checking with his body much at all over the last 3 games. Yes,he gets in there with speed but recently with just a quick poke check with his stick or light bump on the D. This IMO really hurts his line as i see him more so as the driver ,energy supplying force of our 4th line than is line mates. If anything has been said about a possible Motte injury i would love a link so i could get caught up.
  8. I liked brises first kick at the can game last night. So calm on the ice ,passes were right on,fought in the corners , always shoulder checking for anyone sneakin in on the back door. Funny , his calm demeener on the ice had a soothing effect on me as a fan when in our own zone. Looking forward to watching him play again.
  9. I wonder, if benning has talked to sutter about a possible trade? It could be he was brought back in to soon after his previous injury but he just hasen't been putting his all out on the ice since then.He has no speed in his first couple pushes , his top end gear has slid also. He seems a bit behind on every play. Green has obviously given beagle the lying share of the harder defensive Match ups also. Was he tired ,trying to get back to game shape or a bit dismayed?
  10. Hey, he is what he is. Id prefer to see what the comets have brewing over what pouliot offers to the team. I believe hes gone this summer. Hoping actually.
  11. Maybe not as bad as some descriptions of his play, but he can have some stinkers of a game.
  12. Only 1 way to find out if our young star defense men are better, is to play them. Maybe we have an AHL star this year that can hold up in the NHL level better than way pouliot has been able to do. Pouliot has had an awful year defensively Bring up the young guns, see what we have. Can't hurt any more.
  13. LMAO Absolutely loving that

  14. "Replacing a hutton wouldnt be that hard."> Why the hell would you? Hes progressing perfectly.
  15. Does anyone have his interview that could share?
  16. Pacific division player intros coming up.Super excited. They about to introduce this kid named Elias.....who dat ?
  17. I took tre mac's comment on " not every dam forward needs to be a selke candidate as obvious sarcasm. Which leads me to believe it is about his defensive play (play without the puck) that is keeping Goldys butt parked on the bench.
  18. I thought his lack of ice time was related to his atrocious defensive play also. what is it about then?
  19. Unfortunately was at last nights game against the Leafs. The team as a whole was a mess, an absolute mess but Loui when he did get out there was a joke. I don't see anything he can offer the Youth coming in as beneficial unless we wish to promote lazy , uninspired game play. Embarrassing effort from all to be honest.
  20. Brocks a talented young man for sure but still has a lot to learn and get better at to play as an elite nhl player. He has all the tools just needs to put in his time.
  21. A great AHL player tops. Cant play defensive period , has the odd great pass or play offensively.2 years not showing any progress or promise. Send to help Utica, and or put up to see what you can get at TDL.
  22. With Beagle back I wold be very happy with Sutter traded at the TDL. Put Gawd back in and or give BigMac a good look. Sutters outlasted his use here. Get something for him JB.
  23. Why would he have been overlooked for the junior squad putting up those numbers with a strong physical presence?>
