New team systems/new teammates/coming back from illness (weight loss), etc. The entire team has been in disarray so far and require more games to unify their effort. It will come, but it will take a few more games for them to gel. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -DLC- Posted October 6, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2019 If you've been sick enough to drop ten pounds it takes a toll on the body. Dehydration, etc. is very real. Give him time to bounce back. I have full confidence in him .... guys who play with that edge don't generally lose it, it's who they are. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Canuck #12 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Two things Ferland and Boeser have in common so far: looking out of synch and having missed a good chunk of the preseason. Hopefully the latter explains the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was honestly one of the worst games I recall him playing. He didn't look dangerous at all. Hopefully he can pick it up soon. Shows you the importance of training camp and preseason. As for Ferland Ill give him a couple of games to recover from the flu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green has been practicing them too hard. These guys want to win in practice too. Green needs to realize superstar players are hyper competitive, and will tire themselves out trying to win at practice too. Ian starting to accept ?Green doesn’t understand the mentality of the hyper competitive players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't other teams' hypercompetitive players give us a break and do that too?! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones who figure that when you are sick enough to lose 10 lbs., you should be back to 100% immediately as soon as you step on the ice, because that's the way it works in video games? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrwipeout Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Ferland hasnt clicked in yeat but he will be most certainly needed against heavy oposition. thats when he will shine. He is one of the most useful players in his area and should/could alternate between the 1st 2nd and 3rd line pendin on what ur after. I like him a lot. Powerful physical player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForsbergTheGreat Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I’ve tried to explain this to people throughout last year but having watched ferland closely during his time in Calgary, you have to just accept he’s not a 82 game player. He’s the type that really only shows up for 40ish games at best and the rest of the time he’s invisible. when he’s on he can be a force, just don’t let that be the expectation. Very kassian esq. he’s constantly listed as day to day, or a game time decision due to some random sickness/cold or body ache. It became a running joke in flames radio of what he’d listed as next. Hang nail, throat felt scratchy, stubbed a toe. He typically shows up and play games just a lot of question marks on if he is ever 100%, there’s always something with him. I’m sure he did lose weight and was sick and maybe that is affecting him. But as soon as I heard the report I thought to myself, so it begins. it’s been three games of him being not noticeable so he’s due for a good game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Ferland to be noticed (effective) he needs to play a very heavy game, which in nearly impossible to do for a full season. 40ish games, and making the playoffs will certainly be worth having him around. I still don't get why NHL teams don't rest their players like the NBA teams have started to do? Maybe if Ferland only played 60 he would be more effective in all of them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he played fine last game including picking up a assist, give him time, after 3 games is not enough to judge him 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
