Still not totally sold on our D, but love the way Andersen handles the puck.
- Garnie

upgrading hunwick would be a good start.

Yeah. All that the speed starts from the back-end with puck moving dmen and even puck moving goalie.

You can start to see an overall team identity emerging.
- Tumbleweed

And pretty to watch..

what I love is these kids are making some highly regarded top end NHL d men look completely silly.

1. Matthews on V. Hedman in the WCH
2. Matthews on Erik Karlsson on his 2nd goal.
3. Marner on Chara ( no goal, but generated a good 2 on 1 chance with JVR after blowing by Chara in the neutral zone).
- vermie22

The kids can certainly play in this league, and have made the team... Now ,,, can the vets keep up to them.

I more mean our top 4

We know Hunny & Polak aren't the greatest ( bottom pair at best )...but our top 4 need to be top 4

Not sold on Z or Carrick / Marincin yet.

I think they stepped it up last game, but still room for improvement. tough week coming though and will be a good test for them vs some of the bigger and more dominant teams of the West.

I don't mind that...how we getting Trouba?

I hope it's Lindholm then.

Oh yeah lums, the really softens the blow on that one


But in reality, bad times for both teams was to be expected.

you think Vardy wishes he could do it all over again and sign with Arsenal?

- Garnie

Brown and a 1st

or

Nylander

Im guessing something like that.

Nylander is a for sure no for Trouba IMO.

wtf do i know.

probably magic.
- Tumbleweed

Solid deal, I like it

If we take 2 of 3 this week, it'll be a success

Then again, we have seen hot starts before end in lousy finishes.

Just gotta get stoked one game at a time
- WingmanWillie

It would be a miracle. This is a tough little trip.

The good news is Matthews can go two more games without scoring and still be at a goal a game pace

what I love is these kids are making some highly regarded top end NHL d men look completely silly.

The kids look good after only 2 games. But we'll know more after 70 games.
I wouldnt judge anything of anyone this month at all.

I hope it's Lindholm then.
- Garnie

Lou is on it

They got hits in the first game...except with runners in scoring position.
Bats in the 2nd looked horrible.

F'n Martin
- Fakepartofme

It's difficult when you feel you HAVE to hit a home run and you have to swing at anything because you know it will be a strike. It is crystal clear that MLB wants nothing to do with the Jays winning the ALCS.

Brown and a 1st

or

Nylander

Im guessing something like that.

Nylander is a for sure no for Trouba IMO.
- Fakepartofme

No friggin way.... They have to move him. The Jets are getting crap back for him. Just sayin.

I hope it's Lindholm then.
- Garnie

Lindholm wont be traded unless the Ducks really F up.
They'll move Fowler in the off season...should keep him this year for their run if they make it.

or

Nylander

- Fakepartofme

I wouldnt do Nylander for a Dman who is already a contract problem and has never proven anything in this league.

- bixll

No they dont have to move him at all.

Just like Tampa and the Isles had to move their players.

They wont be getting crap for him, thats for sure. No rush to move. If anything, he'll come back to play.

no doubt, but it is refreshing and exciting and I do plan to enjoy it for as long as it lasts. Hopefully that's a really, really long time.

Im not saying I would...just guessing what they would want.
Ya I wouldnt move Nylander for a D man in that situation.
