Horvats_Big_Head Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 I want to clarify that I never intended this to be a bash Megna thread. He is simply doing his job and being wrongly rewarded by a delusional coach. Or maybe where there is smoke there is fire, considering a possible affair. This is more of a thread to bring attention to the quality of WD as a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPA and who cares if he isn't a RH shot. Loui is defensively sound enough to be their partner, and last night they had the 2 best scoring chances. If you do that, the rest of the line riddle becomes a lot easer to solve. Put Burrows back with the twins, Eriksson back with Sutter and Granlund, Gaunce with Bo and Baer and Megna with Skille and Chaput.

Could there be sexual affairs going on with these players? This is obviously entirely unlikely and a silly thing to say, but I would never rule it out. It is a possible explanation. This kind of malfeasance is not unheard of in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need an experienced vet on their line to help them take on that additional responsibility. It's not Gaunce or Rodin that is going to help them. I think Burrows is a good fit for them because he makes the link between their playing style while bringing experience. If Burrows must absolutely play with the Sedins, then put Eriksson on their line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any of you watch how many open passes the twins pass up just so they can pass to each other, 99 times out of 100 leading to nothing. They are draining the life out of the team. Bo's line went AWOL. But all some of you can do is concentrate on a low paid AHL place filler. It's so convenient to avoid criticising your favourites or even to ignore the fact we just don't have enough prime alternatives at present. For those harping on about giving more time to the 2nd PP, maybe you can see it's not as simple as that, they were cr-p too. The Twins are in danger of tarnishing their legacy the more they play this "keep away" selfish game. They need to change. And please JB do not renew them, I am now at the stage I would rather lose every week than continue to watch their circus. I think WD must now do something about the twins, rest them, split them up, anything but continue with the same boring perimeter BS they are serving up just now. Finally you admit WD is the problem and should be fired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both Baer and Bo are past that stage now and Rodin isn't some green rookie either. he's a defensively responsible professional veteran Though they split some of the duties, for the most part Sutter gets the lions share of the matchups on home ice. I think it was more that WD didn't really see a need to matchup against NJ's top line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've maintained from before the signing that 5v5, in the NHL, they won't be a good fit. Less time, less space, more physicality, more requirement for puck retrieval and board battling.

I think it was more that WD didn't really see a need to matchup against NJ's top line. Not quite true re Sutter and matchups. It depends on the games but Horvat plays his fair share against the top lines. I think WD is not trying to shelter him but testing him against the other teams best lines. Baer-Horvat spoke of how much Burrows helps them by doing a lot of the heavy lifting - being strong on the forecheck and digging out pucks for them. I don't see Rodin in that role. Burrows is also defensively responsible which allows Baer to be more aggressive offensively and not have Horvat be the lone player covering for him. I think they need a strong two-way player on their line and I really don't s see it being Rodin. One of the things they need to learn is consistency at the NHL level and Rodin is not an NHLer yet.

I actually don't think Megna is that bad, but you're right, CDC gotta blame somebody right - got ourselves the new Raymond. Raymond had a 25 goal season....Megna in 28 games has 6 points.... Comparing him to Raymond is ridiculous.....You could compare him to Vey but even Linden was significantly better than Megna. Where is Vey playing now? We are literally playing someone who sucks worse than Vey, who can't crack an NHL roster, on our top lines and pp units. In 30 years ive never seen this happen in hockey for more that a few games.
