  1. I don't get why people are freaking out over guys that weren't even NHL players. Zack had YEARS to take a spot, he couldn't. End of story.
  2. I do not like aquaman at all, never have never will. He's only ever cared about just being good enough to get playoff revenue, never about tearing it down right and building a true contender. I think Benning is a mixed bag, like most GM's. I'm not going to beat a dead horse. There's big hits and big misses, like most GM's. I think Green is an excellent motivator and gets the most out of many players but he hasn't shown yet that he can get a team team to play with structure or make necessary adjustments. The lazy powerplay, passive defense and non-existent forecheck for his entire tenure here stand out in particular. His players play hard but often times aren't playing smart and look lost in his systems. Often times the systems Green has tried to employ don't fit the team either. I thought this summer was a good opportunity to clean house and bring in a more experienced management and coaching staff that doesn't have attachments to players to see what this core can really do. Teams often hire inexperienced coaching staff's and even GM's in a rebuild then bring in the big guns to take the team to the next level. I personally feel that's what is required now, but we are where we are. We'll see how it goes. I don't think there's much leash left for anybody.
  3. There's more than enough here to be competitive. No forecheck, no puck support, passive defense with an extra side of passive. Guys still rather try and carry the puck through the entire team rather than move the puck. Blowing the zone when the puck is still behind your net. Simple fundamentals. This isn't sh*t that will fix itself before Weds.
  4. Can anyone actually tell me what this team's identity is? You'd think with this many offensive type of players you'd play an up tempo game full of movement and passing. All I see are a bunch of floaters.
  5. If not for that abortion of a 1st period it's probably a win.
  6. Bowey and Lockwood have been decent, the rest of the bubble players... Better luck next year.
  7. Feels so good to see Petey's name in the line-up.
  8. Meh, bottom six wingers that don't play on special teams are the least important kind of players. Not the end of the world. Good for him. We have more pressing needs, better players have and will be on waivers.
  9. I'm not thrilled about their PK ability or our PK in general, but there are guys that have definitely played games and have some PK experience which is something Green has shown he favours. If Gadj is taking a spot it's going to be Podkolzin's. Whoever makes the bottom line jobs has to be able to PK somewhat, plain and simple. We also need a Center.
  10. https://twitter.com/_EPettersson/status/1445467198189760518?s=20 I dunno how to embed stuff, but this should be here
