Apricot Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 So who do we want winning tonight in the Calgary vs Edmonton game? Three point game would be great, but Calgary would be better winning rather than Edmonton. They'd be at 72 points, while we're at 71. Then we'd be at top 5 pick.

73 Percent Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Anyone watching the kings stars game? Anyone watching g the game think shinkaruk would survive lol? The more I think about it thw more i think he needs to be in the east to reach his potential. Even Dallas has emerged as a big mean team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AHL and Euro leagues are full of small - average skill level - not mean players. I don't know if Granlund is any good either (I would have preferred getting a second round pick for Shinkaruk) but at least he can play defensively. If Shinkaruk doesn't put up 60+ points, he's hurting his team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at the very least we could have built up Shinkaruk into an asset with more value. But you're right I think he would have a tough time in our division. Smaller players have to either have elite speed, elite stickhandling, or be extremely fearless to have success as a top 6 forward. I don't think Shinkaruk quite checks the boxes on any of those qualities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely could have held on another year to see if his value increases and maybe in the end had a possibility of landing that d prospect we've been searching for.

Or we get a second round pick back instead of a player, giving us a chance at a young top D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Man, Saad's been great for Columbus this year offensively. Can you imagine if he was still playing for Chicago? I want Columbus to do well but I wonder if they'll ever get it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watching Detroit score their third, and noticing just how biased the colour guys are on CBC. Nylander had the goal scorer, but drifted away on the back check, and that guy scored. It was some of the poorest back checking EVER, and showed Nylander's very low hockey IQ for defencive play, and why he will never be a centre on a Cup level team. Yet the CBC guys don't even mention Nylander's name. For all you Nylander lovers out there, have a look at Detroit's third goal, and then try and tell us all how that kid has a high hockey IQ. He's either stupid, or lazy. And the CBC guys should call him out for his bad play. We all know if that was a Canuck's prospect, they would be all over our guy. ALF IS PISSED! Leafs suck, CBC SUCKS.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. He does have a good IQ for the offensive side of the game but has a long way to go on the defensive side. Your anger towards CBC is somewhat mis-directed though as these guys all work for Rogers. CBC just allows Rogers to broadcast the Saturday night games on their channel.

Coconuts Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Detroit's hanging on for dear life, they'd better hope Philly stumbles hard these next few games if they're going to have a shot at making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Alf, just when I thought you were committed solely to sitcom spam no one gives a sh!t about and speaking in the first person, you make a comment about hockey, a hockey play, a hockey context - an observation. I'm surprised. I haven't seen the play yet but it sounds entirely like his first game in the NHL - completely vacant when the opposition is in possession - embarrassing the level to which he's oblivious of where his check is - and he got burned and exposed. But that time Hughson couldn't help but comment. That's the thing about the NHL - it's a grown up's league lol - for two way players. People can make excuses for that weak sh!t all they want, and give the kid a free pass because he has talent, but that's the path to another generation of Phil Kessel era failure. Luckily they have a coach that won't stand for that junior floating regardless of how hockey dumb that market is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
