I will never understand what these coaching staffs see in Girgensons. He does NOTHING.

Are you suggesting some of those shots wouldn't have beaten a goaltender?

Bet Dahlin would have nice things to say about Vinny too. Not sure he'd say franchise changing, but maybe...

They don't ask how, just how many. Especially in the 30 goal range. I think every 30 goal scorer gets a couple empty netters lol

Asplund has 2 points less than Girgs while riding the bench for 18 games.
What a waste of $2.5M

Preaching to the choir.

Can't sit an Alternate apparently... even one thats a fvcking UFA.

If I gotta see that guy fall all over the ice for another season so help me gawd

You really should look at a site like Natural Stat Trick where you can compare on ice results of players when they are with or when they are without other players.
Nearly universally, Olofsson drags down other players results and with him on the ice, other teams have higher stats in possessions, goalscoring, shots, scoring chances and high danger scoring chances.

Even with his 5v5 scoring prowess, he is an addition by subtraction.

Sounds nice, no thank you.

If he doesn't go back into his blackhole state he could very well get 40.

The worst is when he purposely dives on the PK to block a lane and he just glides away


I can't think of a worse play in hockey than making yourself completely useless by laying on the ice.

JFC, Dallas has shutouts in 3 of its last 4 games. This is going to be a tough slog tonight. Our best bet is always scoring first IMO and trying to convince the other team to trade chances with us.

Tage and Skinner need to find it. I can't imagine winning if we don't have a combined 4 points from those 2.

Tage really needs to get going but it’s nice to have others that step up like Krebs, Olofsson, Quinn, Cozens when top line is off a bit. Good sign we are close

Girgensons is not meant to put up points

His job is to grind on the 4th line and penalty kill
