Cory Schnieder and Pekka Rennie are not franchise goalies. Sure they are GREAT in the regular season, but neither has done jack squat in the playoffs. If fact both are crappy under extreme pressure. Schneider cramps up, when under stress. When he was here didn't he say he takes medicine for some mental thing? OR he used to? It was right around when he cramped up in that playoff game and Lou had to go in. Maybe a smart poster could find it.
-
Alf agrees, to a point. Goalies needing more time to mature, might be better off staying their full four years, and thus becoming UFAs and choosing their NHL team. The other guys, especially the top ones, have no incentive to stay in school. They just lose money.
-
All very true. However, the value of Demko as an asset is very high. Offer him the world, get him signed and then TRADE HIS ASS to Edmonton for something shiny. How's that plan?
-
Hey! More people die IN THEIR homes than outside. Alf has flipped on this issue. Demko will sign with us, and be on the Utica team for their playoffs. Alf reserves the right to flop, for he is great.
-
Whoops! Sorry.
-
Alf appreciates these posts. They present other points of view. JB didn't get the job done signing those two. Boeser is ready now, and offering him a big money deal like the Wings gave to Larkin was hopefully presented. If it wasn't than JB messed the bed.
-
JB clearly can't say that to Demko, so maybe we need to trade Markstrom sooner rather than later? The closer Demko gets to UFA status the less reason he has to not go all the way.
-
Meds taken, but their affect is still swimming upstream against the scotch. but thank you. Both Boeser and Demko will be on our team next season. I wonder how many goals Boeser will put up in college next season?
-
Okay, now Alf is getting extremely frustrated with JB and our management group. Is there some sort of negative reputation swirling around our management now, and these players don't (or won't) come here because of what they hear? Comments from media about our ownership pulling strings, to our Captain calling out the rookies, to our goalie coach leaving. What's next? The sky will fall? Come on JB. You got to really encourage these players (and future friggin stars) to sign with us, by making their contracts and situations super attractive!
-
We need all three! We deserve all three! The All American Connection. Oh Boy! Bye Bye Tanev and +, we need that other top five pick along with winning the lotto! Tanev + to the Coilers for their pick!!!! Make it so JB!!!!
-
We can still make trades, the players are just not eligible for the playoffs. So Markstrom is OUT and Demko is IN, but not until next season. anyway.
-
What do you think about extending Miller for 1 or 2 more seasons after next year, trading Markstrom, and bringing in Demko as the 'next one' after he plays one season in Utica? Then there would be a clear path for Demko to become the starter, while we still keep Miller here to buffer the transition.
-
No, of course Alf does not. Demko will be our starter in two seasons! Alf has spoken the truth, bow.
-
Boeser looks AMAZING! Plus, he's a kid in a big heavy body. He's only going to get faster and quicker and stronger as he physically matures. He would look great beside Matthews next season!
-
He must be from Cranbrook. That's where some guy was walking down the street, and a helicopter fell out of the sky and squashed him DEAD. Life is really scary in some places that don't have transit, so don't blame him for his pessimism.
-
When do the Comets start the playoffs? Alf needs good news, especially after this season and the Burrows stuff after Saturday's game. Very sad times, that even bathing in scotch cannot help.
-
Alf thought they could play in the A. Larkin did last season. He played against Utica. (What's IIRC?)
-
And he'll still be a crusher, who skates like crazy, can shoot the puck, and has a mean streak.
-
Alf loves you. PLEASE BE RIGHT...PLEASE BE RIGHT. Demko could go straight to Utica for their playoffs, right? Maybe Boeser too? GET THEM BOTH!
-
Can you remember this kind of honest love for a new player? It might just be a function of social media, but I really believe Tryamkin to have a special attractiveness to him.
-
Hey! Thanks for sharing that personal encounter with our new star player. That's awesome to read here. .
-
Alf suggested this comparison last year, but many here called Alf a troll for such hype of an unproven prospect. Alf wept tears; for these insults hurt Alf. . You should be very cautious what you post. Some here are BIG MEANIES! Especially the TEN year olds!
-
This is in no way an insult, but does Tryamkin have that giant syndrome? I accept he's a big guy, but he's exceptionally large - even for 6'8". He's appears way bigger than other guys his height. Plus, he seems almost freakishly strong too. Look how he just swats big heavy guys - not much lighter in weight then himself - aside so easily. He swatted Stewart and Kesler and lots of guys so easily. I agree the guy has the physical attributes to be extremely dominant. Alf loves Tryamkin!
-
The way JB does business don't you think we will add a fifth to get that fourth? Get these boys signed JB. You are a recruiter now. Lie, cheat, beg, borrow, steal, and GET THEM.
-
You are 110% correct. Demko most likely knows he needs another year of development, so his choice would be spend that in Utica making 70,000, or finish his degree, live the college life, and become a UFA. Hmmmm. He could still pick us, but why rush it, when he needs to mature as a goalie more anyway?
