D-Money Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Keith Jones was on the Marek show the other day, and specifically mentioned MacEwen filling a solid role with the Flyers. Seems like someone we could use right about now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecklessReilly Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Just watched some of the flames game. Makes me sad we left Q and for that matter Guddy behind. Not like the players that replaced them were any better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a fan and hate the other teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just see a lot dog piling on a rookie trying to make a name for himself. He deserved more of a chance than he got. Toughness is something really lacking right now.

Nuxfanabroad Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Toughness with charisma is even MORE influencing & powerful. Not in the room here(of course), but it appeared to me, guys like Big Mac & Gadj had more than mere muscle. Looked like these two were great team guys, with confidence & determination. These guys lead in Spring, when every inch is a battle. So just throw 'em into the laundry hamper, eh there GREENER?! Freeken numbskull, kibosh the doofus!

He had every opportunity this year to show himself. In my opinion he didn't look good at all in preseason. Even playing poorly, he was bumped up to the 2nd line and played a game with Bo, where he again didn't play well. Yes he was tough, but he didn't earn his spot on the team. Simple as that. But as least you're saying something now instead of a simple scorched earth reaction on anyone who called it how they saw it weeks and weeks after the original posts.

I saw him eventually developing into a 4th line checker with Dorsett potential. OEL standing up for young guys. Not his role. Hiding Chiasson on the 4th line takes away from much needed role players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hurts to see Mac and Gadj playing for other teams. As an org you commit to developing players and then they slip away. Signing Chiasson screams of management willing to sacrifice their AHL development for a somewhat dubious playoff bid. I say dubious because I still think this club is developing. Playoffs would have been a nice bonus for a years work but not critical. IMHO the club had a line up that could have made playoffs with Abby providing reinforcements when needed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highmore too. The 4th line has beed abused this way, hiding basically waiver wire type players to bolster the top 3 lines or the pp. Dubious is the right word. Highmore 7 goals in 97 NHL games.

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. Bingo. AND he did not earn a spot on the Canucks during camp and he was mediocre at best last year. AND he is gone, not part of our team. spilt milk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaisson hasn't looked great, but at least in his games he has produced on the pp, something that is one of this teams biggest weaknesses. Management defaulting to a veteran player who fills a team weakness and did come in and force his way on to the team, makes sense over a young player who didn't do anything besides a fight to prove he earned a spot. It's a shame he was picked up, because I would have been fine with him having a call up from Abby with how this season has gone, but I'm not losing sleep over a guy who didn't show well enough to force his way on to the team.

Steven Stamkos Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Even though we won last night it was sad seeing our team get bullied around. Would 100% have Zack on our team instead of Chiasson. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure we need to bulk up a bit tho, but Montreal who's even less physical than us took them down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanfor42 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Why did we keep Chiasson and not Mac again? Oh right. Our coaches and management don't value physical play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
