This is why the NBA sucks, not only is there no traveling call on 4 (frank)ing steps, but Rubio picks up a foul trying to block.

But will they? I doubt they make a single move, let alone 2

Pommer was in la la Land after the hit


Pretty sure he is out a week

When jack
Skinner
Skunk
Risto
And dahlin are on the ice

As good as 5 from any team


It's the other 13 skaters

Very true:
and evident vs LA and especially arizona.
We out skilled them.

Tonight we got outworked

Wouldn't surprise me if they just play Elie. Wilson is close as well. They are risk averse when it comes to playing young forwards

Hater

In terms of the next wave of superstar Centes, I think Mackinnon, Eichel, Matthews, Schieffle, Barkov are in their own tier. With McDavid just in a world by himself.

Stink clank skunk
Olofsson Casey stinklnader
Sheary pod racer Okposo
E rod Lockport Larry and all star

Right about when dahlin got more ice time
- homiedclown

And Risto's didn't decrease either, in fact he's been playing a ton lately. He's only had 1 under 23 and 6 of at least 27, 2 of those being over 31, in the last 12.

I'm back to the idea of swapping Thompson for Olofsson/Nylander.

I assume nothing will happen

I heard it was gonna be nylander, but that was a week or so ago. Must have been when berglund had the sniffles

I think Matthews us a tad ahead of jack with the gap shrinking quick

Those are the 6 young guns though

I like your ambition. By the start of next season it should look like this barring no outside additions.

its annoying, sure, but they let their stars star. The NHL could learn a thing or two from them

Also rookie Luka Doncic did a proper one against harden not long ago, Harden's just shook trying copy him

Fragile team
Esp on the road when the other team can ice 3 they want vs the stink clank skunk line

Olofsson has fallen off a cliff in Rochester.

He wouldn’t get here over Bailey yet

Why wait?

Wilson will not be a game changer

Skinner-Eichel-Reinhart
Blank-Blank-Blank
Thompson-Mitts-Blank
Girgensons-Sobotka-Erod

Sheary can only produce with Eichel, Okposo is finished, Mitts will be a good one but his time isn’t now, Thompson needs to get back to that 5 game stretch he had.
- Pegullaville

No one on this team has produced without Eichel.

Olofsson has fallen off a cliff in Rochester.

Bailey has been solid the last 2 weeks

Tage for 5 minutes

Smith and Bailey will get the shots this year IMO.

Nylander is getting the floater rep, and Olofsson has like 2 goals in his last 17 games there.

Definitely, but that's just egregious, and then to rub it in they called Rubio. My biggest gripe has been that traveling has gone from 2 steps to 4 before they actually call it. Guys take 3 steps so often it's impossible that they miss it, and much more likely that they just refuse to call it.

Good Canadian boys don't complain when they're interfered with.

Asplund went up a line and is producing now

Tage for 5 minutes

Those were a solid 5 minutes...interesting that he comes up first. Skinner didn't. Sam didn't. Sheary/Okposo/Mittelstadt haven't. We don't have a top 6.

i don't disagree, but i think that's the point. That league is really about like 20-25 players. Nobody gives a poop about the rest. As long as those guys are showcased and do poop that looks cool, they'll let it slide.

It helps that the other players are for it too, those 25 raise the floor of everyone's salary.

We're at the point now where "rentals" are making 13-16 million on one year deals. Bench guys are getting McJesus level contracts.

- homiedclown

IMO, they will give Olofsson/Nylander/Asplund a 2-3 game taste at years end, and have Nylander/Olofsson/Asplund fight for spots next year

Why wait?

- homiedclown

Olofsson isn’t ready and teams will be licking their chops playing their big boys against that line when we are on the road.

Bailey has been solid the last 2 weeks

I’ve seen enough bailey
