Z-train out with a non covid illness. Just what we need, a flu bug in the locker room.

Not going to happen.

Not how you attract veterans.

ChadD has some silly takes

Leafs did this with Spezza several times the last couple of years.

It makes perfect sense tbh

Accidentally flagged. My bad

If Krebs isn't pissed off beyond belief then he has no guts. I've seen him play. He has guts. He's pissed. Make no mistake of that.

- lacaprup


He played terrible last night.

His biggest success this week was getting a breakaway... and not scoring

Not saying he's good. There's no way he isn't pissed off. I'm sure in his own head Krebs was done with the ahl. And, let's not forget this hits his pocket book.

Then maybe he shouldn't be making boneheaded offensive plays.... Like someone else here said.. Not like hes giving guys beauty passes and their fumbling the bag, he's giving the puck away more often than not.

3 identical plays last night where he comes over the blue line with the puck on the wall and just whips it around the boards to the opposing defenders, no attempt at driving the net, or passing to his players, just throw it away time and time again.

I thought his line was the only line that played well Monday night, Tuesday they were invisible and last night they had a lot of stink.

The Cozens line was the worst to me by a bit. Power was awful. Dahlin was brilliant until a brutal, brutal, brutal giveaway ended up in our net, so I don't know what to say about him. Vic was our best player. Tuch took two lazy penalties, and Tage and Skinny weren't special last night. Faceoffs hurt us a lot.

I agree Krebs was nothing special.

Yet Okposo, VO and some vets can play just as poorly at times while making 5-8x the amount of Krebs is with no repercussions.

Again, this constant shuffling will get old to these players very quickly. Especially if you are getting 850k in the majors and 100k in the minors.

Not much. The guy seems to have gotten worse year by year. I wonder if he's got a powdery nose.

Okposo, ok...

Olofsson can play bad for 5-8 games at a time because then he scores 3 goals in 5 games or 10 goals in 18 games. And, he can beat goalies like Hellebuyck when no one else can. That shot was world class he scored on last night. He and Krebs cannot be compared.

5-8 games would be one thing, but it's been 3 months the last 2 seasons.

Flagged this on accident….

I wouldn’t sit Krebs, even though I’m not high on him, at all. Mainly because I want to find out what he is asap.

But there’s no way to justify sitting VO right now

yesterdays game thoughts...

#1, Keep that trade value on the rise Mittle-shat and OLO...

#2, you saw the difference between a REAL NHL Caliber Goalie VS a Fringe NHL Goalie last night. Real goalies steal games for you..

#3, FFS will this offense stop trying to make the perfect fancy pants pass every GD time. We are skilled but not that skilled, Play simple hockey, fore-check, back check, Pay check.

Agreed

I'm not sure anyone knows what type of player krebs will turn out to be?
When the organization just resigned olofsson, they know what they're getting.

I think krebs can develop into our #3C.

You don't know what to say about Dahlin?

He played great and made a mistake towards the end.

Even great players aren't infallible.

Begrudgingly good post

He fell a few times, more on Tuesday. 🤔

- Boss34

Loved he went to the net, something no one else really does, just wish he had Skinner's hands with that.

It’s a great excuse to go into next year and say well. We are still trying to figure out what we have in some of these prospects so it’ll be another grow payroll kinda year.
