kelownabomberfan Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Man we have a lot of potent weapons now to put out there on the power play...with Myers and ugh...Enstrom quarter-backing on the points. The only place I don't mind seeing Toby is on the PP. That's about it. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardner almost decap'd Smail and he looked groggy coming off the ice. Pitts had the powerplay I think and Mann went out to kill it. Well the pp was not what he was out to kill. I could see it coming and even motioned to my father that Mann was on the ice. 2 shots later and Gardners jaw was broken and he never played against Mann in Winnipeg again. NDP attorney general Roland Penner went after Mann and got a conviction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that would have been an out of the blue sucker punch for no reason I'd have agreed with the conviction but Smail's head nearly was taken off with that crosscheck. Gardiner tried being the tough guy on a small player got what he deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyWinnipeg Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) As a side story, the last time i golfed my dad and I met up with Roland Penner and a friend of his at Crescent Drive. Par'd the last hole and quit golf Edited May 1, 2016 by FrostyWinnipeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueballz Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 You don't have to distribute players, best line combos are on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Why is Ehlers Scheif Wheeler a better line combo over Connor Scheif Wheeler or Petan Scheif Wheeler Scheif and Wheeler are the dominant players. It don't matter who you put with them it seems. I think it make sense to put guys in positions they like. Connor is a legit LW. Prefers LW. He's a fit. Ehlers is a left shooter but prefers to play the right side. RW with Little is a good spot. Laine. If we take him is a right shooter who likes the lw spot. It makes lots of sense to have Laine little ehlers and Connor Scheif Wheeler Edited May 2, 2016 by Goalie kelownabomberfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He showed he's got the speed and he's got a lot of talent too. He just needed some confidence and to be put with some skilled guys instead of pluggers. I'd like to see what he could do with Connor and Lemieux. Or Perrault and Armia. Or Dano and Petan. Putting Connor with Lowry is like hitching a thoroughbred horse to a beer wagon.

How players are used is part of getting the best out of them. It's not always your three best players on line one. Malkin is on the third line right now Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Then why like TUP said is malkin on the 3rd line. Why didn't kane and panarin play with Toews in Chicago. Bring it to the home team... why the hell did thorburn play with Ehlers half the year. Edited May 2, 2016 by Goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I wish I had said this *before* the lottery, but I never dreamt it would happen anyways so I didn't think I'd need to but I'm happier with the 2nd overall pick than the 1st personally. The decision is either Laine or Matthews. For our roster, I actually prefer Laine but now there's really no decision for us to make. We simply take who Toronto doesn't and the pressure is on them to make the right pick. If we had the first overall pick, I'd still want us to take Laine. I understand Matthews is a center, but I'm taking the Ovechkin prototype over the Kopitar prototype every day with our roster built the way it is. rebusrankin, Jimmy Pop and IC Khari 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that you can never have too many good centres... but keep in mind Connor is a centre... and Little and Scheifle are still pretty darn good players... then there's Lowry, Copp and a few other prospects for the bottom 6... so while Matthews would be a fantastic addition, I am very happy adding a high scoring, top line winger...

The Unknown Poster Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 It would be hard to believe Toronto wouldnt take Matthews. Maybe not a 100% lock, but likely a 98% lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Pop Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 18 hours ago, Blueballz said: I will puke if it's Pavelec over Hellebuyck. I could see Morrisey over Stuart... My thoughts exactly. Though I'd go a step farther - Morrissey should start over Stuart. We know who Stu is and what he brings. Even if he's the better dman now (hope not) you start Morrissey 'cuz he potentially makes us better, and soon. Stuart doesn't make this team any better and is beyond being easily replaceable.

Goalie Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Connor is a LW. For some odd reason some sites have him listed as C but he's not .. he's a natural Left shooting LW. Connor Compher Motte LW C RW Morrissey is already better than Stu. Stu should probably be in the AHL and even then I think he struggles because he just lacks speed to keep up. Stuart has regressed lots and quite rapidly. Intangibles don't mean much when you struggle that bad. Lots of people thought Ladd was regressing also and perhaps he has but Stu, it's a really rapid decline. He's wasting a spot basically and he shouldn't be on a NHL team.

Jimmy Pop Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 If there's one skill all players this day and age need, it's good skating ability. Stuart doesn't have it, probably never did. He's slowing down as the league is as quick as it's ever been. Can't wait for training camp to see how he handles (or doesn't) our speedy wingers.

The Unknown Poster Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I'd suspect Stu is gone or 7th D. He's an "A", right? The changing of the captains will allow them to get the A off his chest without it looking odd. Probably Wheeler, Scheif, Buff as the "Captains" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) I don't think buff gets any letter. He's the dressing room leader but probably doesn't need an A. Wheeler and Scheif are obvious. Not sure who the other A will be. Maybe a younger guy like Trouba. With Stu.. I really feel like, despite his contract, he's probably Moose bound and I think that's a good spot for him. He can show the kids what it takes to be a pro.
