the mass rags on kane and reinhart


okposo is no different

not a difference maker on the top line
22 even strength points in 65 games


if he is the best option, at rw
eichel needs to be his center not ror

I beg to differ on that point. I think he's noticeable in the offensive zone basically every game

He's not an "impact" player, according to some.

But Bobby Ryan is.

Having Carrier for a linemate probably didn't help that

Schopp was talking about how Franson has been the best metrics player on his team all 8 years he has been in the league. I thought Bulldog's head was going to explode.

Listening to WGR on a regular basis will make you less intelligent.

Maybe it's been discussed, but how would everyone feel about Brian Boyle? I feel like he would really help a PK unit that may have cost us a chance at the playoffs by itself last season. Also, he would make a nice 3rd or 4th line center. Just a thought.

I REALLY need to stay away.

He isn't wrong though.

That doesn't mean that Franson is better than Risto. That means that Franson has played his role better than his teammates.

Franson was better as a #5 here than Risto was a #1, based on the numbers.

I think everyone would agree that overall Risto is a better player

Reinhardt is a top two forward on this team. Far from a bust.

Reinhart is a top six forward on this team. From a islanders fan.

Dude spells it correctly in his location, but not his post

yeah he just usually drives up in his clown car, shouts some dribble and moves on.

then his 22 points 5 on 5 is a lack of talent


our 3rd line and 4th line produced decent five on five

our top 2 lines did not

But Max Pacioretty is.
- TheSabresTaco

fixed it for you


better point per game than okposo

much better 5 on 5 point per game then okposo


and okposo had JT and ROR


pacioretty had crap

then his 22 points 5 on 5 is a lack of talent


our 3rd line and 4th line produced decent five on five

our top 2 lines did not
- homiedclown

I hope this is helped by a more active defense

Do not google busty skunk at work....do not google busty skunk at work

Well Carrier was his winger and ROR was in and out of the lineup. Talent isn't his problem, imo, I think it's system + linemates.
