BananaMash Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 6 minutes ago, Green Building said: If that were true, I don't see why TLJB would refuse Green's desire for Archie to make the team. He brought energy in preseason, but wasn't it the game against Calgary where his own zone d-play was shown to be lacking against a pre-season team? Perhaps we're both arguing heresay, but I'm of the belief that Archibald went back to Utica and busted his ass to earn what he now has. I'm happy to be proven wrong if you have evidence to the contrary, though. I think the situation was that Green wasn't entirely sold on Dorset being 100% able to play again, and he thought they should sign Archibald as an insurance player in case Dors' wasn't good to go. That's speculation on my end though. Archibald did have a game where his d-zone coverage was really bad. Archibald definitely went back and made a statement though. Kudos to him for not giving up on the dream, whatever the circumstances were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their play will show with more minutes and it will make it a lot more clear who really needs more time and who maybe is ready or close to it. I hear ya, I'm just saying that we don't have many (any?) guys who aren't already up here that can uproot who we do have. Gaudette and Pettersson are the next 2 forwards and they can't join us for obvious reasons. As far as minutes are concerned, Virtanen playing about 10 minutes per game was frustrating, but only because he wasn't playing good enough to warrant more ice time. For me, something clicked for him near the end of January and his increase in minutes is a direct result of his approaching the game differently than he did the first 1/2 - 2/3 of the year. That's a Green success more than failure. I get wanting to see if players fit in right now, but I think JB and the coaching staff here and Utica have a pretty firm grasp on who's ready and who isn't. Case in point: fans all year calling for Demko despite his not being NHL ready, which was recently confirmed by Cull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpn1 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 People keep forgetting that Archie was sent down and then had an injury. The Canucks may have wanted to bring him up but couldn't because he was hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer. That's the first thing my old German sous chef taught me how to cook that wasn't on the menu back in the day. Paleo bread means no spaetzle due to gluten? Picked up FSWY and am going to ramp up my baking game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Archi is here to bless us. Maybe Granlund would have had a different season - as it was he ended up being the only option to play on that line with Sutter-Dorsett. Gagner/Vanek have questionable defence and there was still hope that Eriksson could find his offence plus he got injured early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
