What if Guddy was worse then any of us thought. I will not be swayed by all of the noise out there. I want to wait and see how they look without him. Time will show us the truth. Very well said... There is a lot of noise from both sides... time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is no top 4 but he plays his role quite nicely. Great effort by the team last night I just hope they can learn to play like that on a more consistent basis. I think Peteys work ethic is rubbing off on others which is good to see. Biega seems to have the magic touch for Pouliot. Pouliot has looked way more comfortable being paired with AB. Will have to see them play against a heavy forechecking team. So far, so good ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel_3 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Missed the game, how did Schenn look on the back end? Just reading on nhl.com that he was +1, 3 SOG, 4 hits, 15 mins TOI as well as a SH shift. Know the knock on him was always his foot speed, just wondering how he looked in his decision making and 1st pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cory40 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Schenns knock has been foot speed. But at one point in the second he lost a forechecker with a tight turn and foot speed. Guddy has not done that at all in the years he was here. If he plays like he did last night not only is it a bonus but it makes our back end decent. Plus he is a big body who has what appears to me a little more game sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really really pleased for you amigo. Few things in life you remember forever... your first proper live sporting event being one of them...you never forget the buzz...never. Just wonderful that you got to share this experience with your boy. Great it was a game with lots of goals and the right winner. He will treasure this night forever, as will you.. Good on you both.

appleboy Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 We play teams that are much quicker over the next few. The Ducks are a big slow team so lets not get ahead of ourselves. The Aves will be a good game to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I am so impressed with Hutton and Stecher. Hutton has done a 180 deg turn around. You can see that he plays with confidence and I honestly think he is getting better game by game. Hutton has the mobility and quickness for todays game. He also has the size and if he continues to maintain a high level of fitness he might be very durable over the long hall. The biggest question now is whether he can handle the mental side of the game. He used to be so fragile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still got Getzlaf, Perry, Rakell, Silverberg, Kesler, Fowler, Gibson, Lindholm... that's a Stanley Cup contender (on paper) right there!! This post brought back some memories. No way we have Sedin ,Sedin, Burrows, Higgins, Kesler, Bieska, Edler, Tanev, The Honey Badger and more. I see your disbelief when your stuck in the past and the team you are watching is now at the bottom of the NHL. And most of the players your team is left with aren't worth 2nd round draft picks!

cory40 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Man only 1 win and we climbed up a point. Imagine if the magic number to get in the play offs was winn5 of the last 20. I am kidding but exaggerating the snail race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory40 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Anyone who is excited about Benning re working his defense for next year. Most of the work is done now with Guddy gone. I hear Benning continue to say Joulevi and Hughes. That's 2 of 8. Pouliot is probably gone. Having a defenseman for offence who has basically the point total of a shut-down defenseman,( with-out the shut down size etc ). He will be gone. Maybe they go after 1 free agent. But you can kind of see the defense being different by default! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Schenn looked like an immediate improvement over Guddy. His skating isn't great, but not nearly as bad as I thought. I suspect it'll be more noticeable against faster, more skilled teams. His physical game is pretty solid as well, it's clear he plays with an edge. His shot, while not anything to write home about, is accurate, and he's not hesitant to shoot. Overall, an excellent start. He could carve out a solid 6th D spot if he keeps it up, or provide a valuable veteran D presence down in Utica.

Stetch was......efficient, but I don't see him being a permanent fixture in the top 4 at any point in his career, he's simply too small and easily out muscled. Hutton though, what a turn around.

The biggest question now is whether he can handle the mental side of the game. He used to be so fragile. It's true. I've also enjoyed seeing the D-zone patience(slowing play down w/puck) been seeing from youngins' like BH & TS. Feel like they've adopted Tanev & Edler traits/ elements(osmosis?) to their games. Quite hard to measure these things(can't really)..but I'd say holding onto the two vets has given us(in-game)highly respected trainers/mentors for the next wave of D. As time goes along, think most will look back at(say, 2017-2020 period) appreciating the patience JB maintained, keeping the right vet D-men around.

I think those two are a great second pair. We need a ligit top pair. Maybe Hughes can play to that level right away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
