Alflives Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 "Thats horse $&!# an you know it". call some when else out who cares about your base attitude .When are you gonna call the experiment off after 9 games?.There appears to be a problem an its not you or I.an I think that WD is part of it an is to conservative to try right out at home games to steal a game with young guys shortening the bench for vets an gassing them resulting in losing leads is par .for the way he coaches.So right now it is a depth issue an the team seems to be struggling with lack of successful depth.rolling 3 lines down the third period makes for a painfully long year ,scoring is gonna be outstanding issue . I presumed that some scoring issues might be mitigated with the young guns but if they dont get to play an grow its a moot point.So it would be better to add some of the seasoned vets that are in the AHL system that can play 2-1 games an nurse leads WD style. An let the first line run after all it is still their team too.A differing point of views only can confirm the contrast in aproach an ideoligy so its ok with me to send them back now an not let any more momentum slip away from this team . We have the velvet glove in WD an had iron fist in Tortorala maybe the velvet glove has yet to convey the message well enough to be understood by all the players not just young guns.this sounds like the same complaint against Torts - playing too few guys too many minutes.

Hairy Kneel Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 We really are spoiled this year. All things being equal so what if WD doesn't like Virt and McCann both may not survive their 9 games.. We've got other young guns that can step in and help our team in Shink/Gaunce and Grenier. ie. to bring speed checking and scoring. Add Cracknell and I think were ok. (maybe a Pedan showcase even?)Were WD proof Lol. cause he's still cutting his teeth in the pros.Plus we just need to make the playoffs and takes our chances there. A moment of silence for the return of the 2nd round pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I agree with sending the Junior eligibles back down. Hopefully they both make the World Juniors. Gaunce was the best prospect at camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I would like to see Gaunce just take one more step at the AHL level before he makes the jump. He definitely won't be passive defensively, but I'd like to see him slow play down a little at the AHL level before moving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuktravella Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 gaunce will be first callup if theres injuries while shinkaruk might see a game or two by end of yr our prospect crop is pretty nice a moment finally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 The thing with WD is I think he wants defense first so Gaunce fits the bill there but he also can garner some net front presence as well. We need to roll four lines so we need young guys the coach trusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Yeah Shink can swap in with Baers and Gaunce can help on the 3rd or 4th line. Actually him and Cracknell bring similar roles.btw Utica is about to start a game with Syracuse Crunch.

That being said it looks like they filmed that with a toaster, lmfao. Gaunce deserved to make the team to start the season but it made sense to send him down. I knew he'd be the first call-up, so I'm glad he's got his chance now.Good luck to Gauncer! Edited October 28, 2015 by Jai604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 This guys a natural leader. I still remember the video of him pushing Tryamkin up the grouse grind.Gaunce is also a natural at scoring garbage goals. He feasts off them. Which is great because those are the majority of goals that are scored in the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat, Gaunce and Boeser all seem like leaders. Captain material. Love it. Virtanen and Shink provide the energy. McCann could be the cocky one lol.

I can't picture him chirping or taunting the crowd like Kesler does. But you never know.He's a competitor. The fact that he was mad about where he was drafted says alot. Some players just want to make the NHL, others want to be among the best in the NHL. Hopefully he strives to be the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
