  1. meanest uppercuts in the NHL. but Tketchup would warrant the superman.
  2. Marky's only weakness has always been playing the puck / leaving the net. Left it all together!
  3. Too many zone blowing cherry pickers on the Lames. Starting with the weiner - league leader in cherry picking. Can't play like that and hope to win. A good team, but not that good.
  4. nah - he's getting hung out to dry by Calgary's milhotdog forward group.
  5. yeah he stopped skating and gave it the stick wave. last year he was always driving for position - he needs to bear down.
  6. Alex Nylander might (ironically/coincidentally) make some sense - but he's on LTIR (and not necessarily a fit). William Nylander - is getting torn to pieces in the Leafs media - the pitchforks are out (Canadian markets are ridiculous goldfish bowls) - but that makes zero sense for either team.
  7. Schmidt is playing hard minutes here as well. 37% ozone starts is 2nd lowest (Edler plays the hardest minutes). Second unit pk D - only Edler and Myers kill more penalties. Solid 'possession' and goal metrics in those minutes as well. Tied with Myers for the team lead with 31 blocked shots. He'll look even better imo when the team adds another RHD - with Hamonic out (who was extremely rusty) - they're relying on Benn (the #8) playing his off side... Tryamkin is quite comfortable on his off side - I think he could be a great partner for Hughes - he's very mobile for his size, he moves the puck well (makes a good first pass), and the rest is obvious imo....
  8. Hamilton is better than Weber? Seth Jones? Because he got more votes from media? I can't rely on Norris voting to tell me who makes sense - and btw, that list is borderline ridiculous. The Norris voting has become a joke. It's a scoring race - a highligh reel fan's gig. Players like Mark Giordano are not even in the top 20 lol. You have complete liabilities on that list - being a competent NHL defenseman without the puck is evidently no longer really a criteria.
  9. I like Montour as a player - but not as a fit here, at least not as a partner for Hughes. One person I forgot to add to that list - perhaps the most obvious option at this point = Tryamkin.
