If he didn't go on the January heater we could be out of a playoff race right now. The only blowout win we've had was Anaheim. These have been tight games he's coming up big in. Even in a tight loss against Winnipeg, he was on the scoresheet. He's one of the guys carrying the load at the right time.

What if Jost just put the fear of God into 71 and 37? Vic's always been streaky, but this streak really matches up with Jost becoming his center. Jost and Mitts seem to be tight. Those two are really doing a job on that line.

That line is working like a line. Two guys doing the majority of the digging to set up their scorer. And, Vic is getting himself to where he needs to be. He is always in position to score. That ain't by accident.

Sorry they're 7th in the west, 7 points out of 1st, so they're 12th OA, top 3rd (ish) in the league, sorry to offend you

He been basically useless up until 10 games ago. First time in his career he has a goal in 4 or more straight games. Hope he is less streaky in the future.

He started the year off well IIRC. Had an awful Nov Dec. Then Jost arrived.

Also, during Nov-Dec Mitts and Olofsson were pasted to our bottom pair defense (whichever combo of two players that was) almost every shift. Funny how their numbers improve when Jost comes and they get an occasional shift with one of the top 2 pairs of D.

Their #'s didn't improve when Jost got here... You guys have so much receny-bias its ridiculous.

Took about a month and a half of playing with Jost for them to finally click. They've been solid for 10 games. Hope they keep it up cause its helping.

What was the first game Jost centered Mitts and Vic? I know he got here in the end of November, but he wasnt immediately centering them.

Nice thing about you Hubie, your not on here crying about everything and pointing fingers at other posters.

Need more Hubies.

Less guys that think baker mayfield is a dream guy
Less guys that think Gibson is equal to vaslevsky
Less guys who argued all summer and last season about olofsson's 5 x 5 numbers.

Less ion basically 🤔

If you move olofsson right now. Who is shooting at 20% to replace his goals?

Olofsson is here until our kids are ready. Doesn’t olofsson have 1 more year left on his deal?

I just checked …. Olofsson has 1 more year after this year.

So why move him now?

Completely one dimensional player. if someone comes a calling with a over the top offer, I jump all over it. I am not expecting to make the playoffs this year anyway, i think we come up short regardless if he stays or goes.

defeatism: see above

jump on board. we'd love to have you on the fan bandwagon. get in the playoff race. paint your face. make a tin foil Cup (that's Cup not cap). get out your old "We're gonna win that cup" 45.

Fun fact for today from the sometimes right calendar:

During the 2008-2009 season, Ryan Miller had a shutout streak of 157 minutes and 13 seconds.

I will settle for 60 minutes tonight from UPL.

I do understand olofsson's situation much better then you.

Play his contract out and go for the playoffs this season and next
Slow roll kulich or whomever
It pushes contracts and preparers players for the nhl.

You're still trying to destroy the continuity of this team for some stupid reason?

You still in rebuild mode?

You were ready to bench olo for vinny hinny 😀

- Boss34


You're full of surprises. I thought you'd be jumping on the VO extension train.

Is letting him walk for nothing a good plan?
