In the last 12 hours I’ve heard people female dog about our 4th line that’s playing well, and our only goal scorer last night.

Everyone else is fine apparently.

I am so over him as a sabre

I can live with girgens on the 4th line with no issues at all


my top 4 removals from the arena

1. larsson
2. thompson
3. scandella
4. bud light vendor

- homiedclown

thompson is useless.. he needs sent down.. he makes that whole line pointless, but okposo is the only real player on that line

2005 through 2007 really inflated a lot of guys' stats. You almost need an asterisk.

---4th line

----17 minutes a night


Pick one

They're not a 4th line, and they don't score or hold the lead. What are they accomplishing?

Well, at least I shall be entertained by a fourth line argument on my flight from Seattle to Detroit.

This should be good.

Secondary assist, empty net assist, and a hail Mary pass up the boards to Bogo who sniped one from a bad angle

Last night TOI:

Girgs: 16:31, 10:20 even strength

Reinhart: 12:58, 10:50 even strength

Which one is on the 4th line, and which is on the second?

If available would anyone do a deal for Nylander knowing what it would most likely cost to acquire him and sign him long term?

To be fair....there was alot of PK duty for Girgs last night.....you can thank the inept refs for that

It's kind of a perfect formula for them - they don't score, so there wont be many opportunities for them to blow the lead at the end when they're supposedly at their best defending leads

If you play Larsson for 17 minutes, you deserve to score one goal and probably lose

- jcragcrumple



Its hilarious that larrson and girgs are your fall back bashers.

They are doing their job- unlike

Sam- should be scoring
Casey -should be scoring
Risto - should be playing d
Sheary - absense of scoring
McCabe - sketchy d
Scandella - too many mistakes - every game


PHIL- should be using dahlin in ot

Again: name me a couple scoring 4th lines in the nhl.
Especially a team coming off a last place finish

Did y'all catch the play last night where Dahlin passed the puck to himself off the net through a Calgary players legs.

"Fair" or not, the bigger problem is that these figures are close.

Before the season, the argument about these two was "it doesn't matter, they only play 8 minutes a night"

-Now they're playing 16-17

Then it was we need them for the penalty kill

-ranked 15, firmly mediocre

Then it was we need them to close out games

-last night happened

They're playing as much as a bona fide top 6 winger in Reinhart, and all they do is thrash around. They are not a 4th line based on usage, and they haven't mustered a goal with the goalie in the net.

They're basically the worst 2nd line ever

Girgs is outplaying them. He is bringing more to the table shift in and shift out.

I thought you went to the game?

Both 22 and 28 played really good on the pk.
0-5 on the pp for calgary.

No reason to hate girgs- he's on pace for 20 plus points

Their ice time is definitely too high. It's still nowhere near the top of the list of things that need to be addressed. Until the other two lines start producing, it won't matter how much or little that line plays, or even how well or poorly it plays.

Again, the fact that you are singling them out when they are producing the EXACT SAME at 5 on 5 as - Sobotka, Berglund, Sheary, Reinhart, Thompson, and Mittelstadt, with the exception of the fact that they are getting heavy D zone work is utter insanity.

First it’s they need to score, then it’s they can’t prevent a double deflection goal.

Like I said before, they could score goals and you’d find something else about them
