At least if you want to have any happiness in life lol.

its a pretty safe general rule lol

Bozak's

though

am I right?
- daeth

idk

My favorite shift of the game was watching Kessel and JVR battle for puck possession along the boards for almost a minute. Just doing great work puck protecting from the sabres and then I said to my buddy, wait for the puck to come to Bozak and it'll take .2 seconds for it to be on a sabres stick and sure enough.....

Than we get to the defensive zone, kessel somehow with 0 gas left breaks up the play and literally has no energy to even skate to the bench. Where's bozak? Flying around neutral zone looking for the breakaway pass.

(frank)ing guy, I love his sheer ignorance.

"why's everyone else so damn tired, I'm fine"

Except you completely miss the point. Again.

should of?

they WON.

frattin and kadri are clicking.. why break them up? they makes absolutely zero sense.

well matt, you have scored 5 points in 3 games.. lets switch it up ... that... would be piss poor coaching. the most intermediate of coaches know not to break up a line thats clicking.

besides, dont you want the kids to grow together? you are always saying that. and they're getting second line minutes.. you're too focused on which order the names come in on the roster sheet.

i agree. well said

gonna keep that one handy lol

personally, id like to see a fire sale

Kadri's been the best centerman on this team this year........ by far.

Quick, play him more than Bozak! Not like his chemistry with Frattin matters!

Except you completely miss the point. Again.

Yes, van Riemsdyk should be getting more ice time than guys like McClement but when there are other young guys who are playing better, like Frattin and/or Kadri, then van Riemsdyk should take a backseat to them. So in case you missed it, young guys should get more ice time than plug veterans but better young guys should get the most ice time. Got it? Doubt it.
- Two_For_Truth

So... McClement should get less ice time than JVR, despite being more productive tonight, because he's older. But JVR should get less ice time than Frattin because, despite being younger, he's less productive.



I swear you're just making it up as you go along.

Put Frattin and Kadri with Kessel and van Riemsdyk with Grabovski and Kulemin.

not against it, but not for it.. lots of factors..

but i also dont want to break open that topic tonight lol

McClement did nothing special. He tapped in a rebound after Kadri almost picked a corner. Hardly productive, just in the right place at the right time.

No way.... Grabo has been the best....

- jbold

If you want to try and get kessel going, I can live with watching Bozak do his half assed puck protection in the offensive zone, his non existent d-zone coverage in our end but when I watch him handicap our power plays over Kadri? that needs to stop.

yes and put bozak in siberia. Maybe he'd learn what a work ethic is

When did Kessel turn into a fat guy? I got winded just watching him.

another thing to consider here is the line matching carlyle does.

he uses the grabo line against opposition top lines.. focused on shutting guys down while providing some offense.

mcclement made more sense in that role. especially with a hot line playing in kadri frattin and komarov.

they arent trying to tank TFT, no matter how hard you wish for it.
