Draisaitl is our best FO guy at 52.4. Testes is at 46.6. Why do they keep referring to him as our only FO specialist?

God are we bad at faceoffs. They really, really need to fix that in the off season.

Didn't you hear? Hendo says faceoffs aren't a necessary skill for a NHL team to have. Apparently it's really easy to take the puck away from teams that are wasting their time practicing that useless aspect of the game.

See you in hell, Reveen

I'd say Hall would want him in NJ... I wonder what they'd give up for him?

I mean we've battled through it admirably but wouldn't their lives be a lot easier if they posessed the puck more? How many times have superior FO teams burned us on defensive zone faceoffs?

Everyone was saying that. Just wait until we get in the playoffs finally, Ebs is a clutch goal scorer. No, he hasn't been that player in a long long time. His game has been in a downward spiral for years. I've been an Ebs hater for a while now. For me it comes down to a lack of effort. As soon as that starts lacking, it's easier to notice other parts of his game that have been declining

Maybe he's just had mono for the last 2-3 years

Classic example is the opening goal from last night

I'm interested in hearing Mr. Bobby's response to that... What do you think, Mr. Bobby? Severson?

I'm not a big fan of +/- as a stat but when it starts to go down into the sub-30s I do believe it indicates something.

Even if they do move Eberle, I dont really see Jersey as a trading partner. The only things I might want are things they probably won't move.

And our D is still young and prone to occasional mistakes a la Nurse.

Damn... Syphilis really destroyed Al Capone's life, eh?

Damn, that's hot!

Have you been in contact with Rutts lately? He's supposed to be getting us some items from the hospital.

It's just like playing from behind. You have to spend so much extra energy going to get the puck back, if you can get it back without getting scored on first.

Which made that 4th goal last night so awful. Right after an awesome battleback from 3-0 and Jesus scoring an otherwordly goal. Just heartbreaking.

I'd want Severson or Schneider and neither one is going anywhere

God love him... Couldn't have happened to a better person. I hope he/she/it brings him happiness.

In all fairness, he does have nice lips.

Rutts is gonna have fun testing that

I think Schneider is overrated. Bad team or not, his numbers were ass this year.
