Gotta love Kanes awful angle shots that miss the net and head right out of the offensive zone as quick as it went in...

Michael Pachla: Rasmus Ristolainen is a bad man.
- Michael Pachla

He's not a very good defenseman either.

Sorry to poop on the Risto love here but the kid needs to get better in his own end.

As SBroads said, Rasmus was on the ice for 3 of the 4 Calgary goals last night.

He has the worst + / - on the blue line and that's pretty bad reading some of the names on that blue line list.

And I know some will say, "that's because he is playing more minutes".

Well, maybe his poor + / - is screaming to you that he can't handle those minutes.

There's a thought.

Yes and no. You are correct to a point. You can use speakerphone, but you cannot be HOLDING the phone at all. Talking on it is supposed to be hands free. That's the part people don't realize.

Pointless in his last 3 games.

The only consistent forward is O'Reilly right now

team has had a lot of 1 goal games and more then a few empty netters scored on them


risto is on the ice for that, which dings his plus/minus a bit


I am more concerned that bogo does not have the same fire he had last year, and gorges game has come back down to earth on the blue line

Oliver Ekman-Larsson is a minus 10 this season and IMO deserves the Norris
Risto is a -5

Is there any good player you can not $hit on?

Is there any worthless scrub you can not worship?

Is your existence here a joke? Are you just trolling us?

Take Risto out of the equation last night and we still lose that game 1-0.

I think they need to spread out the minutes evenly between the top 4 guys.

Give Risto/Bogo/Franson around 20 each, same for Pysyk when he's back.

Pretty soon, Risto's puck luck will dry up a little bit

this is what I like about the Jets

they find their 4 d man to build around, and mix the top four out really nice giving them all 20-22 minutes per night

Samson with the best shooting % on the team at 14.30.

Now this is a young man that is certainly developing quickly and a all around game.

I would put Eichel on the wing for a bit. He's pressing

Way to go! Good thing the trooper didn't check the trunk, he would have found all the moonshine and dead bodies.

Ding ding. Too young to be given those minutes against top competition. Problem is, who would you put there in his place?

He's one of the few guys that actually drives to the net. That really seems to be one of the biggest issues with this team. Not enough guys willing to go into the dirty areas.

That's really high, unlikely that he maintains that for 50 more games.

Yup, on any given night, Trouba, Buff, Myers or Enstrom is the guy.

Byfuglien always leads in total TOI because he plays almost all the PP time

- Buffalo--Sabres

You can take it anyway you wish BS.

I just posted on how well I think Samson is coming along so.....

I just speak of what I see.

Rasmus needs a lot of work in his own end.

Whether or not you choose to blind yourself to that is your own prerogative.

Sorry that we can't all agree on everything all of the time.
