I hate Myers as much as the next guy, but he’s been fine, as has OEL. Neither is “good” value, but they’re both getting the job done.

Also, you’ll never win a war of words with captain Neemo, his keybroad is worse………than…….nuckup’s.

I turned the spellcheck off my new phone just for you guys. Also, low blow comparison

+/- is not a very useful stat. Im simply pointing out, he sure is playing better with OEL after being an absolute dud the lastbtwo years here. I think its fairly straightforwardly true.

Ya, that is why every player, coach and manager make reference to it, but very seldom do they refer to some advance stat.

It's find it to be a great stat when you've been watching the games and have a lifetime of hockey knowledge to back it.

I think your completely dismissing Shaw's and Boudreau's influence with your assessment. OEL hasn't had anywhere near the influence on Myers play.

For what he's banking, I expect him to be elite. He's average at best and his ppg is worse than Schenn's who he's outscoring by a whopping point. On a team that's starving for scoring from the blue line. Oh yeah, he's carrying Myers...sure thing. We sure went in the tank without him in the lineup.

If demko struggles tomorrow, does the board turn on him? He hasn’t been great the last 2, he looked shaky right from the beginning of the trip, I think the layoff hurts a goalie more than the players, he needs to find that groove.

Everyone knows that Demko will be fine. He's proven himself time and again. Jumping back in the saddle against the 2 best teams is bad for anyone's timing. Just look at what the Panthers did tonight to a team that's been playing well.

I meant and mean defensively, which has always been Myers soft spot, he is shouldering a gopd amount of weoght. But hey, we clearly have different views yet agaim so all good

Panthers, Carolina and Tampa are the teams to beat in the east imo. All three are scary playoff opponants. Ekblad finally looking like the stud he was billed as, happy to see it.

Huberdeau is ripping it up as well. Actually 3 solid scoring lines. Almost impossible to match up against them. Watched the first 2 periods of their game tonight. It was sheer dominance.

Jovo was also saying how much he like Juolevi's game. 😢

Guy needs to make a damn save for (frank)s sake, he might get 2nd round from a desperate team. Halak can carry the team, DiPietro can back up, think of the savings, get a guy to do the same job at a cheaper cap hit.





How's that sound, you can insert any player/name into that statement, in another week it will be Miller because he has no points in 6 straight.

I don't see any team listed in ECHL from Syracuse , just Adirondack NY.

Wiki says Vancouver has no ECHL affiliation
