Elias Pettersson Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I wonder if Nurse is practicing his MMA for the next game. Maybe he shoots MacEwen with a double leg takedown before they even land a punch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Hoss, I think a year in Abbotsford might do his head a favour, good size and skill set BUT needs honing upstairs, not as bad as JV was/is but still..

DSVII Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) Can't believe we picked Chiasson over Mac. I suspect we lose another player soon, but hope he clears. Edited October 12, 2021 by DSVII 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a guy fighting for one of the last spots on the roster I don't think he did nearly enough to hold that spot. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Talking about toughness in general, to nights featured game will be the opening minutes of the Caps V's Rangers game. The Rangers have really brought in some muscle including Reeves after what Wilson did to Panarin last season. It's going to be old time hockey. When Rangers were caught short with Panarin getting worked over by the much bigger and crazy Tom Wilson, John Davidson and the GM Gorman (sp) were both fired. This is a new look Rangers tonight Edited October 13, 2021 by Fred65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73 Percent Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Honestly won't miss this guy. Aside from 2 games he didn't look much like an NHL player to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Sad to see us lose another player to waivers, but Big Mac simply isn't a very good player. I think the days of keeping a guy in the lineup for fighting purposes is generally over 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apprently Kassian tried his luck with Gudbranson, bad career move IMO Edited October 13, 2021 by Fred65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of Gadj, I said in another thread I think giving him up was a mistake. I felt he showed enough in camp, and steady improvement over his AHL career. Given the Sharks aren't exactly a great team, they can afford to fill out their depth with players and take the wait and see approach. Zero risk, moderate reward. For Big Mac, I honestly don't know. Guess some teams can't let go of the old school NHL? Philly of all places seems a logical holdout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podkolzin looked pretty good tonight, but he is very young who did jim draft in drafts #2 through #5 that could potentially fill these big holes?
