  1. Holtby should have never had to make that save. Thank God he made it. Really bad play to cover that one up. Oh well, onto overtime!!!
  2. &^@# halfway thru typing out "this game is going to overtime". Damnit you &^@#in wait Brock Boeser!!!!
  3. If we lose this game I don't mind. At least the team is putting in an effort but just making mental mistakes. I hate losing games based on poor effort.
  4. The funniest part is I think Chatfield has regressed as a prospect for me over the years. I preferred his game from a couple years ago even though it was more raw. Glad to see him finally get his chance though. I can't wait for guys to get to see Rafferty. He's like a Quinn Hughes lite but with better defense (it's pretty close). I just hope Rafferty doesn't shy away from using his poise at the nhl level. Some offensive dmen do that to try to stick with the big club. I really hope he's not one of those players.
  5. Reviewed the play at the line on our pp entry. Horvat looks like his skate is up in the air but could be dragging. Wish I could slow mo replay it but this feed sucks on Shaw cable so it's not allowing me to do it.
  6. I'm pretty sure our powerplay goal was offside. I'll have to review it at the tv time out.
  7. Our defense is absolutely horrendous. Way too aggressive at the half wall but super passive at the blue line??? Same play against us for like the 3rd time tonight.
  8. Would be nice but no team is gonna give away an elite defensive defenseman without overpaying. Gotta find a real sucker of a gm.
  9. It's always been this way. Game centre and centre ice live need to make money and if sportsnet is just showing the games at a fraction of the cost then the nhl wouldn't approve of that option. It's been that way for probably 8 years or so unfortunately. Would be nice to not have to pay 200 bucks to watch the team play. The worst is that if you buy game center, you can't watch your team if they're local to you for a full 48 hours due to these blackout restrictions. That's absolutely stupid.
  10. Hindsight should not have been 20/20 on that one hahaha. Jokes aside, Toffoli loss was expected and Markstrom loss was pretty much expected to be a huge loss, however Holtby playing as well as he has really has softened that blow considerably. The Tanev loss should have never happened. When I found out we didn't sign him I was pissssssseeedddddd. Brutal GM move. I think we will need to offset his defense with the offense of Rafferty and Rathbone (if they reach the potential I have them at, which is 40 point defenders). If this team transitions into a possession team, we will be alright but if we play passively we are catering to our weakest chain on this team.
  11. Potentially, but a lot of players won't get going until that time anyways on lots of teams.
  12. Tatar is in my opinion probably the most underrated player in the league. Nobody ever talks about him but he's a fantastic player.
  13. Schmidt is an upgrade overall, not defensively. Tanev just lacked so much offensively that Schmidt is better all round. Myers and Edler have always been inconsistent (either fantastic or horrible) and Hughes had his defensive woes masked a lot by Tanev last year. Hamonic should definitely be better though. Lots of rust and he's trying to do too much currently. Should hopefully play better after 15 or so games.
