But who will take the face-offs on the penalty kill before running to the bench so Kulemin can be on?


Who?

Who Yeti? WHO?
- AdamFrench

Nobody. We're screwed.....


KAdri winning faceoffs, playing great d and being gritty physical. If that's all he was doing he'd be outdoing bozak.

We're screwed!!

Unbelievable. Glad they brought in Bolland, I was skeptical after his two poopty years in Chicago where he was constantly hurt and was replaced by a rookie and a sloth in Kruger and Handzus as the 2nd line C, but man, healthy and motivated he's been perfect in that 3 spot.

girardi for franson and a first?

I thought he was what you guys needed?

Absolutely. I'd love to get him. But overpay x10?? that's insane.

Except he scores enough pts to be classified as a top player. The pts he produces say that he's worth the $ he's asking for. And on top of that he plays tons of mins and all of his minutes are against the elite players.

Phaneuf is not underrated...... Phaneuf is under appreciated.

Some people children I tell ya.

Side note Ranger had a very solid game last night.

He is kinda like a poor man version of Gilmour

Definitely a keeper

You know who is losing a ton of value and fast?

Rake Shardiner.

Three offensive defenders outperforming him in his "strongest suit."

Bolland and Raymond have been really good additions for us for secondary scoring.

Kadri has had some great chemistry with Kessel and JVR, I'm kind of worried about when Bozak is healthy. Kadri has been playing better as the 1st line center. Think they move Bozak to the 2nd line and keep Kadri up there? It's been working.

He might be ok in Calgary, but I can see him making a lot of mistakes against Vancouver.

I would put Liles in against Vancouver instead of Ranger, but Carlyle has a vendetta against JML for some reason

Ya, he's had a pretty bad start to the season. He is still young though, fingers crossed he improves.

I think Kulemin is pretty much a goner at this point unless he plays some exceptional hockey when he returns. His absence has certainly not been felt at all.
- Leeman4Gilmour

Exactly. Which is saying a lot considering people on here were anointing kulemin the best defensive forward in the league.
As I've said all along, he's replaceable

It's only been a couple of games, if Kadri keeps this up and plays good defensively, how do you not leave him up on the first line.

I'd be using Liles all season.

Exactly, hope Carlyle sees it that way too

I'm guessing, that if he keeps it up, that RC trys out Bozak on the 3rd line and see how it pans out.

RC likes to roll out 3 lines that can score.
