I.Am.Ironman Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 59 minutes ago, Bang Bang Boogie said: The thought of Eriksson even attempting to keep up with Mackinnon makes me laugh. And then cry. Yeah, one would think that Virtanen's speed actually evens that match up a bit vs Eriksson's positional play. Virtanen actually plays pretty sound positional hockey without the puck, most of the time. Eriksson is more consistent in that regard though. Hopefully the speed of Motte and Virtanen together can create some chances. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Jake moved to the top line for a few shifts throughout the game.

Devron Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 4 minutes ago, WHL rocks said: I made a post about this a couple months ago, imagine JB traded away a young, big body Dman and cpl years later he turned out to a Ryan Graves. He'd get run out of town. Top pair 6'5 220 lbs 26Pts plus 44 He's RFA this summer,will need a big pay raise NYR made huge mistake with that trade. Sakic needs a GM of year award. Sakic has got to be one of the best in the business. Big reason why I’ve been saying no to the Barrie rumours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a stupid move by Green to expect Loui to check Mac. Plus, Jake has been playing great. Put him out there, and have him run over Mac. Let’s be aggressive and initiate the play. Green is too passive in his philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyHarry Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Tough Game tonight ....not a cakewalk at all. A win would obviously be huge but it could also get the Team going as a solid unit....it’s funny the young guys are the leaders and vet are the passagers on this team. Ass ,Grass or Cash nobody sure ride for free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hoping they win tonight, just to stop the bleeding. I don't think they'll make the playoffs with Demko, but I could be wrong. So much nicer reading the paper the next day after a win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tre Mac Posted March 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2020 They'll win, book it. Lost is how well Thatchy D played last game, those two bad bounces don't occur and he gets a shutout. Even given how he struggled last week after letting in that fluke goal I am very impressed and not surprised how he rebounded. For some reason I think Tyrion Pearson has a huge game. Go Nucks! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pominville isn't playing anymore. Quite a few players on the wrong teams. You and your rightness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all about Quinn winning the Calder now. that would be nice....i still think the Nux are going deep in the playoffs this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though Jake was fabulous in our top six last game, Green dropped Jake to the bottom six. Just listened to Green saying he wants Loui with Bo.

He sounds exactly like how Willy D did just before he got canned, and people thought he was doing fine too. I think the writing is already on the wall and its just a matter of time. Aquaman will not tolerate ineffectiveness, especially when he is spending to the Cap. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
