  1. Still getting use to the attitude change from last year to this year of " i hope we win' to "I expect we'll win" "ohhhh what a feeling" 4-2 Nucks
  2. Looking forward to seeing Fantenburg play along side Stecher. Pretty confident in our depth right now. That being said , Joulevi would be better suited to get in another 10 games at least in Utica. He's on the top PK and PP there , looks good overall , but his D work could still use some more time and urgency on the puck, IMO.
  3. Keep the foot on the gas boys! I hope Petey runs over Guddy as our new heavy hitter
  4. Oh I get it... so feed em want they wanna hear and you'll get rich!
  5. Not against resting him on back to backs or when the coach decides, and have Fantenberg step up or whoever our spare is while we're relatively healthy. The philosophy worked for the Raptors with Kawhi Leonard for different reasons and the NHL should adopt this as well. Money plays such a big part of it by showcasing our stars to bums in the seats or fighting for a playoff birth, but if our stars are not performing or getting hurt because they're exhausted that concept fails. Benn and Stecher are a solid pairing as well and while we're healthy their minutes should be bumped.
  6. Wow, this guy is out of touch with our goaltending.. sounds like he shotguns beer with Mr. Doughty
  7. right cant afford to take a chance on Schalls again. In 2 years time Edler's salary goes towards Hughes and Pearson / Sutter goes to Pettersson. 3 years if we are still carrying Eriksson which i doubt, his salary and luongo recapture goes to Brock and who ever else. So many moving parts though. Those prospects developing are so important to remain competitive while hanging under the cap.
  8. I can see both Jake and Ferland both as streaky players. Confidence (or lack there of) for both personalities will provide a roller coaster of performances. They both need a stabilizer like Bo on their line, with Jake in particular as he's night and day from a few games ago. Really think he belongs with Bo and Ferland/ pearson until Rouss comes back in the fold. That I would love to see. Hit- hit again- and again....-pass-shoot - score...
  9. Some friendly stats to share with our buddy Drew "especially against a team like that" Doughty, when we take to the ice on wednesday. #1 goal differential #2 Faceoffs #4 PK #2 GA / games played #5 GF/ games played
  10. Jordie Benn continues to impress. Virtually every play he made was a solid pass, right hit at the right time, and just great decision making. Great signing!
  11. thought the 2nd period against the caps was one of our best... have to say this tops it. Unreal!
  12. Hope he doesn't get replaced in 1 game if he doesn't get noticed on the fourth line in his first game back after 9. Regardless of his salary, etc, etc.... he deserves at least a few games if he plays like he did in the preseason.
  13. agreed, Marky's play is at the point where his confidence won't waver over a decision like this.
  14. I think he fits best on the 3rd line bumping Leivo down to the forth, but he he starts on the fourth, gets a hatty and then moves up .:) Pearson- Sutter- Loui Schaller- Beagle - Leivo
  15. All the best to Loui, Don't listen to all the noise from media and fans, play your game and i hope you work your way into the middle 6 while Green is experimenting, and you could be the one their looking for... Ferland- Bo- Jake - stick with these guys for a few games Pearson- Sutter- Loui Schaller - Beagle - Leivo What ever makes this team better.
