Fatboy at a 51 point pace and people still b*tching.

Not elmer glue at a 32 goal pace and people want to sit him.

Dont do drugs kids

Coach is really bad

Ventura is amazing!

Mittelstadt is to forwards, what Risto is to d-men.

It’s hilarious how some still don’t see it

Not true, especially in sports. But hopefully he keeps playing well. Since he was with Tage it seems to have woken him up.

Two players that are amongst the worst in the league at their respective positions analytically but because they rack up PP points people think they are good ?

Nobody ever said the coach was bad, Crowe Ventura and that crew have done a good job. And fantastic that Mitts is helping, playing with Tage seems to have woken him up. And yes let's talk about the guy who is on a 30 goal pace. Scored a bunch in the first 10-11gms. Disappeared for 3/4 of November and most of December. And before tonight had scored 4 goals in the Last 25gms

We have the best offense in the league. Don’t break it up.

Add defensive help.

Watching wild coach b*tching about no calls in OT. He said it was 5 for blo and only one for them that he seen.

Well if they would of called the 1st one on them on holding tuch then there would of never been any so called penalties on us.

What a total douch. He literally asked the reported to ask him about the no calls

- Swedish_Jesus

Ristolainen was a “40 point D man” because he played a million minutes a night and #1 PP time with Eichel

Mittelstadt is scoring at a 50 point pace on a 3rd line playing 14-17 minutes any given night and PP2 time.

It’s a horrible comparison.

And yes, Mittelstadt is a good 3rd liner with a competent C in Jost

Mitts was really battling tonight, will give him plenty of credit.

Your comparison is good, it's just really tough when you can't break up Mitts and VO to see what you have individually.

And then the one guy held Tuch's stick blade as he tried to skate away on a later shift. The refs decided not to call any penalties. It was even for both teams

Tbf, Tuch did straight up body slam that dude with a hook, but that was after he himself was mugged

Clague does nothing for me. I don’t get what you see

I see another Bryson

But I will gladly sit Lybuskin and his terrible hockey he plays

- Sabretooth9


3rd pair LD. How many min do you expect out of him?

Fitz or Bryson or Boosh as the 7th.

We seem to be asking a lot to get a 2rd upgrade. Do you think we’d get a 2rd. And an upgrade to Clague?

For sure. Think the no call for tuch body slam was a make up call for no penalty on holding tuch first.


Then everything went to hell. Was amazing

Such a good third line there are only 8 forward lines in the entire league that get caved in more then they do even though Jost was an elite waiver wire pickup.
