And Roussel somehow still gets ice time? Why? 

This is what drives me crazy is that veteran always gets a much longer leash. Schaller kept getting ice time with us on the 4th line from time to time last season and yet it only took 4 games after the trade for the Kings to waive him. The Kings waived him. The Kings, a much shallower in terms of team depth waived him after 4 games.

Just win!!

Exactly. Something is wrong with that.

Relax, he's only 22 and is in just his third year in the league. The first 2 years he was here there were no real roster changes and now it is his first time having to deal with the business side of the game. It takes a little getting used too, he is already adapting and will be just fine.

Remember when Bure went 11 games without scoring a goal?

 

 

No, I don't either

Hockey Gaud is the least of our problems at the moment. Can we bench Travis for a game and see what happens..?

Jeff Patterson is like a pig in the mire. He is in his glory right now.

What does Schaller have to do with our vets? Who the hell else is going to play in our bottom 6?

Please don't tell me you want a bunch of rookies and no one that can win a face off?

Pray tell who you think should play on the 4th line?

Covid is JB's fault. Polio was JB's fault. Bubonic Plague was JB's Fault. Alexandre Daigle was JB's fault.

 

You need to get with the program here, everything is JB's fault, until the next GM when everything JB did was also the next guy's fault too.

 

 

Don't forget Green and the assistants

I assume it must have something to do with special teams. Our PK took a significant hit in this offseason losing Tanev, Marky, and, to a lesser extent, Toffoli. Even Fantenberg ate up some PK time.

 

With our PK being atrocious to start, Green must like that Roussel has more experience on that front. I don't necessarily like the decision. But I doubt it comes down to "veteran vs young kid"

I think the point is Rooster is making no impact. Doesn’t take draws, is not hitting, scoring, or bringing much in energy - maybe some pk prowess in killing penalties. @AbrasiveAjax essentially what I would love is Green to play people who bring it. Gaud arguably plays hard every shift- hits, has points, and looks involved. Schaller and those of his “veteran” ilk just coast IMO.

i cant stand patterson hes  just garbage and asks the dumbest questions 

[canuktravella]

hell id rather rookies that want ice time get in over  the vets waive eriksson roussel and sutter  and call up lind and let bailey get a look  sink or swim

[Frozen Water Walker]

I like the fact that Quinn is playing with Olli hopefully that means he will get a bit of a rest.

Playing all those minutes with that target on his back is starting to show in his play.

But we are so lucky to have him, and Petey, GCG

Umm, did I miss something? When did Pettersson go 11 games without a goal?

 

 

Edit: I found it. Way back in his rookie year

 

Edit 2: Bure had a stetch of 3 goals in 23 games in his rookie year. And in 94-95 went 10 games without a goal.
