dr.naughtypants Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Hamonic looked pretty hurt as he was making his way to the dressing room. OEL will hopefully return next game, so we should be alright. Right? lol After that, who's next in line to play? The lack of depth on D is scary when you look at what's on the farm. Rathbone? Woo? I imagine the new GM regime is about to go to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Next man up. At least with BB running the show we can be optimistic that whoever it is will be able to handle it better than under Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I thought OEL had a maintenance day. Schenn will bump up to play with Hughes, hopefully we give Rathbone a shot with Poolman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 The more aggressive forecheck from the forwards will help out the D a bit but yeah you see moments where we're asking too much of certain guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Rat boy afterall Oh yeah. Too bad we lack any sort of players with toughness and pushback besides Schenn who's a good 7th on a good team. I am just saying BB's coaching style where the forwards start attacking in the opposing zone instead of waiting for them to come to us will help our weaker D out. I was seeing the Bruins/Kings have to throw the puck away because they didn't have good plays on the rush which made it easy for our D to just retrieve and move the puck up the ice in transition. Our forwards were causing most of the pressure and doing most of the work when it was successful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Trouba gives him a nice shoulder to the jaw hit. This guy is so sneaky dirty that its surprising to see him not get suspended more often.

Gotta do what you gotta do with what you got. Only Hughes/OEL can make good outlet passes consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Elias Pettersson Posted December 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2021 We have lots of depth on the right side. Schenn and Burroughs were both playing the left side tonight, so we are 5 deep on the right side. The issue is the left side. We need a 3rd pairing LHD. Don't want to bring Rathbone up. I'd rather try Brisebois and see how he does. Ultimately if we are to challenge for a playoff spot, Smyl and the team need to make at least one trade, maybe two. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goblix Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Hamonic was having a really good game was a little worried when he limped off. Hunt probably gets a chance under a new coach before they go dipping into Abby I do wonder if we could develop Rathbone in Abby to play on his off side right side. Guy has a wicked slapper which would be primed for use 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that there were better options - Pateryn was injured for most of that season and the other D on the roster was Seeler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
