I remember a couple people on here saying his contract status would have zero effect on his play or the teams .

This team will start really imploding soon if they don't turn this around soon.

Most players have career years in their final contract year.
I'm sure JT is worried about his contract in between shifts. He could give a rats ass. He's going to get at least a 7 year deal for 10 million at least.

Hey JT missed the net against the Kings because of his contract situation come on.

Soooo let's leave Josh Bailey on the point and keep getting thise fluid passes working great. Also, let's just send Pulock to bridgeport and hope he clears waivers. The NHL has changed no use for an 105 mph shot from the point.

Your a putz

Imagine the Bruins played Chara in front of the net on the PP instead of at the point with his 100 + mph slapshot.

Hey, Pulock scored 5 PP goals in the AHL . Thats not lighting it up.
Successful PPs in the league are not scoring from shots on the point sorry.
Most of the pp goals are scored from the dots in typically back door or cross ice one timers when the goalie is moving. The shot means nothing unless it gets through.
As far as Pulock not playing he obviously hasn't earned the coachs confidence to get in. Let's not kid our selves that we know better than Weight and his staff on who's ready and who's not.
The guy was an absolute abortion in pre season in his own zone and obviously they feel his shatty play in the defensive zone 5v5 isn't worth his slapshot on the PP.

No what's the funniest thing on here is when HB NHL wanna be coaches think 1 player is going to make a difference on the PP. if OV didn't have Backstrom, Yoshie Kunetsov passing the puck around getting him the clear 1 time opportunities he's not going to score as much. Same goes for Stamkos etc.
Also a funny thing abou PP written on here constantly is the whole 4 forwards on the PP thing. It absolute BS. Most teams use 4 forwards now VS 3 f 2d because puck movement zone entries and creativity are what makes most successful PPs in the league. You score in the NHL on the PP when you make the goalie move from side to side.

You just totally ignored what I wrote in my post and talked about the pp.

Ok so Pulock is worthless? What use do we have for him now?

No I said he wouldn't give a poop about the contract and neither would his teammates. It's an issue for the fans and a subject for the media to regurgitate constantly.

Everything other than the PP is BS. That's what the whole subject was about nothing else so:

Ok so what do we do with Pulock since 105 mph slap shots are now useless in the NHL? Serious question that you ignored and talked about the PP.

Ask Doug Weight, or you could go over to Northwell Health Center Ice Rinks and watch the practices and help Doug and the staff out.
You should bring some of your assistant HB coaches down with you as well.

A 105 MPH slapshot an NHL defenseman does not make.

Give it time for some reason he isn't out there.

Doug wants to win and if he and his staff thought Pulock would then he would be out there.

Answer the question. Fluid passes rule the NHL power play now hard shots mean nothing. What do we do with Pulock now? Just have him watch games for the rest of the season?

So if he isn't good enough to crack the coaches lineup he should play? Even if the coach feels he isn't ready or can't compete? I guess your answer to this is yes?
How about the kid earns a spot? What the phuck is this a kindergarten. The coach is going to field the team he thinks is the best to win with. That's his job to win hockey games. There's no other answer other than that.

Don't go with the exaggerating BS on me. It doesn't work. If the 105 mile per hour shot goes in so does the 98 mph shot, the shots don't go through the goalie there has to be an opening. So I'm done with this conversation because it's like pissing into a fan.

Well Garth is the biggest problem we have without a doubt. Things won't get better until he's gone.

But having the big shot attracts defenders to you as the need to block such a shot is important (due to the chaos it can create). This in turn opens up more space for that lateral movement you want for success.

Hell, who's to say that he couldn't be positioned in the Ovi/Laine spot? If his shot is accurate enough, he could be more dangerous there than an Eberle (better next to the net) or Ho Sang.

EDIT: Just for clarity, I'm not arguing that Pulock's slapshot alone should be enough for him to be in the lineup; merely contesting the argument surrounding heavy point shots.

Over under on Doug Weight really being a skin costume Snow made for Jack Capuano?

Most goals are scored when the puck as Steve valiquette call it cross the royal road and that mean moving from side to side. So you are not wrong in your assesment

I just find it funny that Doug Weight became Al Arbour all of a sudden and cannot have his moves questioned.

This is my thinking on a big shot from the point. You have to at least respect a 105 mph shot from the point.

Any shot from the point needs to be defended, whether it's 90 MPH or 105. I've never had a coach say don't defend his shot from the point
Typically OV, Laine, Stamkos are quick release 1 timers. Pulocks is a big wind up slapshot from the point. Big difference, not as much time here in the NHL to get it off. Again he scored 5 PP goals last year in the AHL.

So Doug Weight played hockey for years and played well so what's the problem? If Pulock cannot help what can actually help the PP and what can help this team play better?
