  1. Sadly, it seems to be only Pearson and OEL stepping up to challenge. If DK isn't going to do anything, swap him for Arseneau. Would be a huge upgrade in grit and sandpaper
  2. Because he gets penalized every hit - his elbows are above every other player's head so it is an easy call for a ref
  3. I don't think it's random. I think it's an indictment by Bruce for Hogz not putting his head down and hustling back on that OT goal (as Bo did)
  4. They're overwhelmed by the mountain vistas - makes them feel tiny (conversely, makes the little 'uns (Gnarly, Stech, etc) punch way above their weight
  5. Or give us credit for some positive firsts (like a prior year when we were the first NHL team to dress 4 players all named Tyler .... or the first to have half the team with surnames ending in .......son) These are meaningful firsts.
  6. Petey will never be a #1 center until he learns to win faceoffs. 3 - 16 today is pathetic. Lost every offensive zone faceoff he was put out in (0 for 5) He is probably better suited as a winger
  7. Except where he was supposed to be. Why did Poolman pass behind the net? Cos that's what he's coached to do. Forechecker on him, another forechecker on the wall preventing the pass there, so when in trouble, behind the net. Huggy didn't see that his partner was in trouble, and was at the left dot. What was Poolman expected to do? No support, no outlet opportunity.
  8. Great tactical decision by Schenn. - team was under pressure and he drew a whistle
  9. Is it my imagination, or are the Nux hitting everything that moves? We've seen big hits from Podz and Horvat, two not known for bone crushers
  10. Anyone else excited by the reuniting of the kid line .... Podz - Petey - Hoagie?
  11. And right now he'd be the best penalty killer on the team
