  1. ah finally gameday....theres been some fun games against the avs so im looking forward to it and wht might be a W since it looks to me like the team is improving towards its "normal" potential. Lets get the W and continue our point streak...
  2. Podz is used to playing heavy minutes and played PK in KHL id say hes definetly ready for it. let him get some shifts here and there. Hes ready.
  3. Great win.....sould put some confidence back in the team and hopefully a momentum swing and the start for a W streak,,,
  4. i think the team was close last game and i enjoyed the final period when they fought and managed to get some pressure. tonight is a new game and against a good team. we can win if we have the will to win and all we need is a few lucky bounces to get the flow going. Take the good things from our last game and build on it....and maybe even we will scora goals on the PP....
  5. Lets wait at least 30 games or so...they havent been a disaster and id say the team has its ups and down. some players needs to break the ice(playing beneath their potential) and others needs to adapt better.
  6. Totally agree on Hoglander being our no 1 against the preds....he was all over the ice and made some great plays as well as a highlight goal. If i would buy a jersey right now i would want hoglanders.....the kid is fantastic and got so much potential to evolve.
  7. Well in my mind there was one player that stood out tonight and that was hoglander. He was all over the place and imo our best player apart from Demko. i thought at times u saw EP40 brilliance (passing) and OEL is so solid on the D. Changes needed i think is too soon to talk about, but u can see a few minor tendencies, and to me its like a few players hasnt reached their potential and others still has to adapt to be on the same page. when we get to 20 games played i think we will have some more accurate display of how the team and the players really are performing. I thought the game was exciting and at the end we should have had at least one point from the game.
  8. Felt like a gasp for air last game but thx to demko we are alive. Lets get going and get another W.....feels like a turnaround for the whole team if we can get a W and get a streak going....
  9. well so far, great skating and positioning, strong defensively, great passing and dangerous wristshots. im very happy with the way hes played and somehow i get the iompression he has a certain connection to garland where garland finds open surfaces and OEL then finds him with passes. This is a solid D that id have on my team any day.
  10. i dont care about his stick, its how he works to get the puck and to get past oponents and find open surfaces that defines how he will evolve. u need joy and a will to evolve on all areas to progress and to become the best. EP40 has such huge potential and i definetley dont see any difference in his stickhandling that makes me think of reasons for why he isnt in his zone. its that will to go past everything and to push forward with everything u got that u want to see.
  11. ah game night...coilers......mcmuffin..... need a spark in energy to make everyone fight for eachother to get the W. lets go Nucks!
  12. Actually im kinda worried about this guy....he had a great training camp but the games ive seen him ply during the regular season hes been sloppy and a step behind on many situations. im hoping he is more of a development project because he needs to get his timing, positioning and pace elevated. maybe then he can make avoid some of the giveaways and can start to make his plays with a better margin.
  13. many teams are advised not to use/read social media and media in general. the stability and mental state of the team and players can easily get influenced since these days even a negative comment from a complete unknows stranger can have an impact. sad to see how much socail media has as impact in society. makes u wonder how many fans from other teams are trolling on other forums to try and achieve a form of psychological negative effect to "help their own team"... or someone that simply doesnt like a type of player for that matter. its like ppl are forgetting its just an opinion from someone unknown.
  14. jesis the season hasnt even reached 10 games and its like doomsday. Let the team come together, the players establish their actual potential and then let them evolve during the season. its not like last season where we started with 11 losses on the first 17 games. as long as petey keeps working hard and does those little things right id say hes gonna have a good season. u cant say anything when u havent even reached the first 10 games of the season.
  15. im actually a bit worried due to how bad it was during preseason...hoping its gonna be different now.
  16. disagree on the Petey comment about toning it down. Hes a flashy player and is at his best when he does what he does. Its a big part as to why hes good and boosts his confidence.
  17. ah that was a tough loss. not far from a w though. nice to see OEL scoring and playing solid on the defensive end. Nice hit by myers. Petey did some really awesome things and seems to be on his game. Demko played well. Garland has some nifty skating...Podkolzin showed his skill a few times, is gonna be tough for a player being used to be o the 1st or 2nd line playing on the 4th line.....wonder how thats gonna pan out. Hoglander did some great plays. ...just some observations from the game.
  18. Ohh yeahhh..finally the season starts. too bad about brock in particular being out of the lineup but its still very exciting to see the new guys in the lineup along with how some of our young guns have developed. im hoping the team that has formed can build chemistry and get together as a group must in order to be a winning team. game on!!!!
  19. the team underachieved a lot last year and were terribel at the start then a little row of wins here and there like it should have been from the start. This year we got pretty much half the team gone and EP40 not injured and good players like podkolzin, Garland and OEL has joined. Jack was right if u look at the stats and the standings of the team...we were terrible. Doesnt mean Jack can say it like that instead of just stating that nucks had an off-year compared to the previous one. However....the thing now is to get QH and EP signed and with a decent value for both sides. if we loose either one of those 2 its nothing short of a disaster considering both of their potential and high level of play.
  20. yea this is kinda worrying.....EP40 without contract this close to camp....this is as nervous as the boeser contract all the way untill the end of the preseason. This is supposed to be the year both EP40 and brock take the next step in their development. talk about disaster if Petey signs somewhere else...
  21. Next season wil be interesting, not sure how the3rd and 4th liners will work out, How well will Podkolzin fit in? However the main concern is the D. OEL is great, QH is an offensive force and Myers is ok. Would have been great if Schmidt would have stayed, now the D is questionable since OEL cant eat up all the minutes on the ice.....
  22. I would say OEL is at his peak....what is left is how he wants to finish his career. the next 4 years is what is left if he wants to win the cup. OEL is not just offensive force, its his Defensive plays that makes a large difference. Hes all-round and skilled in so many ways as well as being a leader. meanwhile...2 videos from swedish magazines, one from his home in Arizona and one from his familys home in Sweden where hes also building a house....at least one has english subtitles.
  23. im a bit concerned about the D. OEL is the only one with capacity to move alongside Huggybear, He is the one to match QH:s speed and cover the Defensive aspect as well as having outstanding offensive capacities. But besides those 2and Myers being ok theres not much left. OEL is going to have to take on a huge amount of minutes that schmidt and Edler carried. Whos going to take on some of those minutes? i think its looking kinda thin besides those 3....
  24. Holy moly.....OEL...now thats an amazing trade. but it was costly. on the other hand We gain one top tier D that goes into any teams first lineup. He is good....really really good...
