seriously ( I understand you poking fun) wouldn't it be nice to see these guys both Babcock and Dubas simply adjust.


"you know Mike the whole backup thing ain't working right now - got any other ideas"?

"maybe the powerplay going 0-5 might be an indication that is okay to mix things up a little"?

"hey Kyle... perhaps we could use a forward or two who aren't 3'10" tall and weigh more than 200lbs"?


I'd like to see them both demonstrate that they can adapt and clean up some of the messes they've made

- BorjeFan4Ever


I would 100% agree with you.
Seems from the outside though that Dubas is really smuggish and that hits the wrong vein with babcock - therefore difficult to have any constructive communication and collaboration between both

They're both your opinion and nothing more.

If Dubas' idea of a shakeup is trading Marincin than he is truly a goof...
- Hockey_Reverend


It is to get a late draft pick back and free up cap space for Hyman's return and nothing more.

Same goes for Petan.

Obviously the only reason that Marincin hasn't been traded yet is because so many teams are bidding on him.

I get that Dubas may be trying to get some return for Petan, he "could" be claimed in waivers are attempted.

The farcical portion as pertains to Marincrap is quite simply ... "Mr Dubas... do you think anyone would actually claim Marincin on waivers"?

why?

He is entirely right in the post you quoted.

The entire game was power plays. It was awful. They called a lot of ticky-tack penalties and let go some poop that should've been called.

The problem with Petan is that he has another year on his contract, so it'll be hard to trade him, I would think.

It's not a lot of money but it's for a player that just ain't very good. So teams might not want to deal with that.

ahh yes...

butt end just above the jock...

I don't think that Wilson took 15 or 16 strides... it was only 7 or 8

and there a few guys around who do the knee drag thing which Wilson also does,
Komarov does it, dude from Bruins Wagner does it, there are a few...

based on a little inside info.. #44 got tagged with one of those hits a few games ago...hence his missing practice.

if you hit the guy and he's got his knee side ways it can be very impactful.... not really much different from hitting a guy open ice with your knee extended... can be very bad.

- BorjeFan4Ever


Unfortunately clip doesn't show the first several steps by Wilson, but more than 3 should be a charge and this was way more.

Babcock likes players who have 'big asses', don't worry about skating and scoring.

Someone give dubas the memo
