We have one. Raffl. He scored 21 so far this year despite poor usage, illness, and injury with no real PP time.

If he's been used so poorly, how did he manage to score 21 goals?

This! Its working w/those three together. Problem is... Read isn't a top 6 winger and Schenn isn't better than Simmonds (RW). So could B Schenn play LW w/Couturier at center and Simmonds at RW.? If so, you need a top line LW w/a third line of Raffle, Laughton, and Read. I like that lineup. Its not bad at all.

Read most certainly is a top 6 winger. He was hurt and played through it. That should never have happened with a high ankle sprain. He was nigh-useless out there.

he overcame adversity

The only highly-ranked pure LW is Lawson Crouse, and I have absolutely no desire to draft Alex Tuch him.

He sure has. Tough for a guy with 2 left hands and a missing torso to score 21 goals.

Should have been our Masterton nominee

Same. Lol. We're the modern man

Steal Brindy back from the Canes and make him strength coach/assistant coach. Maybe he could fix the PK while he's at ti (see ya Lappy).
- Feanor

Was listening to the game last weekend and they mentioned that Brindy actually played more games in Carolina than in Philly. For whatever reason, that fact made me irrationally angry.

With parts made in Japan? (secret secret, you've got a secret?)

OT, but I'm really hoping that Calgary makes it. My ideal scenario in the WC is Winnipeg falling apart and LA sneaking in, but I'd love to see them try to make some noise vs. Vancouver.
- jmatchett383

(frank) that, let LA and Pittsburgh fall so that Ottawa and Winnipeg make the show.

Let Bettman choke on trying to market that. Tired of the same teams being shoved in our faces.

Not going to happen but a Jets vs Sens final would be hilarious.

Both Raffl and PEB have been nice finds for whoever does the pro scouting in Europe right now.

I just like LA. Love Brown, Doughty, and Kopitar. Still a Mike Richards fan (I guess he could be a Black Ace this year).

With an expanded role and better linemates, I feel like PEB's got 15+ goals in him, just based on what we've seen.

He should have been given a chance in the top 9. Everyone got a chance except him.

I feel like Chief has a mindset of what he thinks a player is and doesn't deviate from that.

No worries on my end. I would just love a really fresh take on the playoffs, and finals if possible.

Hell give me a Nashville and Tampa final.

Richie was called back up a couple weeks ago, he's just been scratched in April.

How the mighty have fallen.

I just want to know what about Couturier's skating makes you think he can keep up with Read or Voracek?

That isn't me bashing him, it is a legit question.

Seems like you're just looking for an argument with this.

Bettmann would be over the moon with that matchup.

With their loss in Edmonton last night, the Kings are on the outside looking in. I think they are toast.
