Then get buried by the refs again like in 2011 after Burrows talked crap about the refs? That will be more free shots allowed on EP40 like how Sedins took the beatings that year and the year after with refs refusing to make the calls for them. Refs talk u know. If they set themselves against a team, they will all work together to screw us as bad as they can. And that's why teams don't talk crap about the refs in media. To me, Green sounded like he's mad. As to what he actually says behind closed doors, nobody here knows.

I doubt that is the official roster for tonight. Beags' line actually do share a lot of match up role tho. In fact, that's the criticism some of the fans brought up in the past. So they are not just PK specialists. It's because of that, Gaudette's line can be deployed as a semi-scoring line away from tough matchups. I agree JV could be tried at PP1. But I also think that JV is kinda too quick to make plays at the half wall and that kind of contradicts EP40's style of controlling the puck more. But ya, tho our PP % overall isn't terrible, it's not been good lately. Perhaps changes could do us good. Just not at the wrong time as we are still pushing for a playoffs spot. For having LE on top 6, I was skeptical at first but he did play a role in bringing back offensive production from Bo and Pears. I wouldnt be sad to see a change there tho. If Bailey was to draw in, I think that leaves LE irrelevant. Brock takes that top 6 and Bailey perhaps tried on the 3rd line somewhere. I don't agree that putting Huggy on PP1 right off the bat was the right move. It was a risky move. If it would have worked out like it did in the end, that's perfect. But if it hadn't, we are looking at another rushed prospect. As valuable as Huggy was to our franchise, I do think it was correct to be careful with him. What if rushing him in did not pan out? Fans would all be protesting for the firing of Green for ruining a franchise D-man and I could prolly be in there with them.

I disagree. As long as u have put in some thoughts into ur post and back up ur idea, people dont just start trolling u out of the blue. It's just that some of those panicky posters bring up pretty untruthful ideas without backing them up. It brings so much negative energy to the threads. And it's those that I find neurotic, not the other way around. From what I have seen here, it's most often the other way around. 1. Team loses 2. ALL fans get mad but some of them can't control themselves 3. They write non-sense comments that they can't even back up 4. Readers get irritated and ends up giving out a reactionary response (remember, nobody is happy that the team is losing) 5. They troll back at the readers some more 6. *Repeat They disappear from GDT/PGT when the team is winning tho. I know there is a varying age group in CDC. But those that are adults should grow some balls and figure out a way to control their frustrations. If u can't do that, then post here and that's fine too. But expect to get a response if u write something that u can't back up. Going back to ur point, I find ur other point valid. And I dont defend some of the bad signings that have been made. But as a GM, there are other aspects that comes with the job than just signing free agents. I also don't overlook some of the good signings he made. Not to mention his accomplishments at the Drafts. We tell the team to grow balls all the time. Maybe it's time that some of the fans grow some too. (Not directed towards u)

You don't put young players in uncomfortable situations. Remember, it takes a lot of practice to learn the roles and neither JV nor Gaud has been practising the Half-wall spot the way EP40 plays it. Because Miller has been playing in that unit for almost the entire season and he's a vet, he was their best option to resume EP40's role there. Our PP1 and PP2 play different systems. You just can't expect to plug JV or Gaud into a whole new system and expect them to perform. That is unfair to the players. Do u think they enjoy being called up to PP1 without much warning/ practice and enjoy the glory/ praise that comes with it from the fans? No. They were not ready to fill in the role and Sutter was their best option to play the position down-low as he's a vet and probably knows the system, too. And this way, they cause the least amount of disruption in their PP units as PP2 unit will be left untouched. Being moved upto PP1 doesnt even mean promotion in the sense that it's prolly only one game as EP40 will be back next game. They were 2 for 4 in PP last night. So Im not exactly sure why u're raging about it in ur post.

PREDICT THE SCORE CONTEST: Flames @ Canucks February 8th 2020

4-2 Nux Pears Over -
Players don't like to sit. And the reason why we are in the situation we are in is because of those players. So it's not easy scratching them all of a sudden like they are being used up. It's fair to have the players play their way out of the lineup. And in this case, because our road trip started out with so much success, there just wasnt enough reason. But we do now. Next game, I could see us giving Bailey a shot. Big Mac should stick, too. I, too, woulda liked to see Demmer tonight instead of Marky as this was a good occasion to play Demmer. But Marky likes to play many games and it's kind of hard to overrule him after all he has done this year. I expect Marky to start again on Saturday. And that should give them indications on how often he should play in the following weeks.

I think JV responded because they have been called out for lack of response on that hit on Petey last game.
