  1. OEL has turned into a serviceable defenseman good at most things bit lost that scoring magic. Schenn no points but great on the body. Myers is great in the playoffs we've seen. Poolman is a serviceable stay at home type not much offense. Burroughs is a tougher 6 dman. Huggy is Huggy. Rathbone has trouble on the boards and in the corners and can't really clear the crease. He has time to develop and be a PP back up dman in the future. I'd like to see Booker, as a tough Dman, and see what he brings. Hunt is a poor man's Huggy. For offense I'd like to see the coaches work with OEL and up his game. Maybe play him with the 4th line and activate him more. Forwards put on notice to support.
  2. Burroughs looked good standing up for Demko. 4 min an took another Dman with him. Played only 8 minutes getting his nose in there all game. We needed push back and he brought some. Looked a whole lot better on the board battles too than Hunt
  3. I'm not asking to trade Brock or EP I'm just thinking we could add toughness at our lower tier player positions. A good hit or more confidence on the board battles could help a lot. Especially for our skill guys.
  4. Well he did turn it over. And I feel like you are glossing it over.
  5. Did you see Hunt panick behind the net and throw it blindly toward the blue line turning it over because he was afraid to get hit.
  6. Hunt needs to be in Abbotsford Coach B needs to see we need to get tougher. 2 useless finesse guys in Highmore and Hunt. Put in two grit guys for those 2. That was a chippy game today.
  7. Break up PP1 Get Motte to teach Hogs that shot Boes needs to do a shot like Stamkos Highmore has to teach Petie that shot Burroughs in for Hunt damit Hunt is minus 8 in 10 games Hunt was minus 8 in 12 games last year for Minny Hunt is not in any way a defense first defenseman. Puilot 2.0 I know he's your old acquaintance Coach B but he is the wrong fit here with Huggy and OEL ahead of him.
  8. Burroughs in for Hunt Hunt 0 pm Burro 17 pm Burro drops the mitts some DiGuseppe in for 4th line Chiasson is too slow for the forecheck Try Will Lockwood for a bit if possible Find a cheap 4th line banger Hitting and finishing checks vetos a lot of time and space. Fla looked like they were free wheeling all over the place last game.
  9. We should consider litr for EP. Activate that cap space Let EP come back strong at next training camp.
  10. Demko was a bit rusty on his reads but I think the whole team was rusty. Our D wasn't good at clearing out the crease for TD to see the shots. Imo
  11. He has zero push back in our zone. I think Burroughs should be in for him. Huggy and and OEL are our offensive guys. They don't need Hunts help. Hunt got pyloned in the 3rd and he chased a guy into the boards and left the crease wide open for one of the goals l. Essentially he put himself out of position. I know him and the coach are old friends but I really think a bigger dman is needed there. Not another diminutive skill dman.
  12. Burroughs in for Hunt please. Hunt is offensive and we already have lots of that in Hughes and OEL, Hunt got pyloned at the end there. We need some push back from Burroughs.
  13. 3rd line help PP2 PK2 It's a low cost gamble Jettison if he doesn't work out.
