Pretty much. I always thought Myers would look good in Philly but had no interest in Bogosian.
- Feanor

Ehhh neither do that much for me. Myers is just big, has a strong shot but doesn't seem to use it that much and when he does, it seems completely unaccurate. Hes slow, but has good reac h/wingspan so that makes up for some defensive gaffs. My sample size is pretty small for him though.

Bogo to me seems lIke a very fragile, better version of luke schenn. His injury proneness (is that a word?) Is what makes me shy away from a player like him. Especially with his style of play.

We can wait for Mason to injure himself stretching at a commercial break if you'd like.

i hate all of you

this is Schennsational

*Sigh*
Sam Gagner. A guy who could get 65 points playing with Giroux and Voracek is sitting because he's kind of one-dimensional.

Yeah, (frank) offense. Lets healthy scratch the guy with the 3rd best PPG avg in his NHL career cause hes one-dimensional

For (frank) sakes. Hakstol not getting on my good side early on. Trying to turn offensive players into defensive players. Yeah, that worked so (frank)ing well for Torts in VAN.

(frank)ing stupid. Acquire him, dont buy him out, sit him over a rookie, Umberger and 3 career 4th liners. Solid solid coaching right there folks.

I hope Umberger is like a -3 and maybe this retardedness will stop after 1 game

this is Schennsational

Schenn to shine (shoes) in pressbox.

Wow, the puck hasnt even dropped in the first game yet, and you are already foaming at the mouth.

I'm just gonna say it

you're all just biased for Gudas because he has a cool beard

Keep Laughton out of it though. What'd he do?

So.. you think Gagner is a better option with his career high 18 goals (8 on pp that year) is a better option than puck possession monster and one of the highest even strength goal scorers in hockey last year in raffl?

I'm just gonna say it

you're all just biased for Gudas because he has a cool beard
- BulliesPhan87

I, personally, am offended by your tone.

So.. you think Gagner is a better option with his career high 21 goals (8 on pp that year) is a better option than puck possession monster and one of the highest even strength goal scorers in hockey last year in raffl?
- Tfaehner

No. He singled out Laughton, Umberger, Vandevelde, White and Bellemare.

Wow, the puck hasnt even dropped in the first game yet, and you are already foaming at the mouth.

- Doc_Sarcasm

Because they're sitting a guy who can put up points at a better pace than all but 2 players on the roster cause he hasnt been great defensively. Patrick Kane is one dimensional. Vladimir Tarasenko is one dimensional. So what if you have 1 bloody player that only cares about offense.

You really think Ganger can play strong on the boards, because that's what G and Jake need.

Putting the best offensive stats together does not guarantee production.

Get on it man!!!!

Keep Laughton out of it though. What'd he do?
- mayorofangrytown

He didnt do anything. I love Laughton. I'd rather have him playing 22 minutes playing on the top PP, top PK, being "the man" than playing with guys like Umberger, White, Bellemare, CVV.

No. He singled out Laughton, Umberger, Vandevelde, White and Bellemare.
- mayorofangrytown

He also said he wanted Gagner on the top line with G and jake. Let's surround two guys capable of 60 assists a year with a guy who has scored career high 13 even strength goals. Brilliant. He lost all credibility after that comment

- hereticpride

Putting together 3 play makers over scorers is a way to fail. You put play makers with guys who can finish. Like Raffl with G jake

- hereticpride

He put up 41 points on ARZ playing with guys like Joe Vitale, Kyle Chipchura and other scrubs (the WORST PPG in his career - .50!!!)

He has 336P in 562GP.
HE HAD 8 FREAKING POINTS IN A GAME!!! 8!!

You DONT healthy scratch a guy with that kind of repertoire and career going cause hes "one dimensional"
SO WHAT. OH MY GOD. We cant have 1 one-dimensional player!?!?

Jesus christ we're playing the broken corps of a cheeseburger and 3 career 4th liners over this guy!!

He said he could get 65 pts playing with them. Of course I could get 20 pts playing with them and I can't skate so I don't think that's too big of a stretch.

I said IF he played with them, dummy. Oilers are my 2nd favorite team I know how he plays i've watched him play for most of his career.
Raffl plays with Jake and G, im very aware of that. Play him with Couts and Simmonds or Schenn and Read. Or Laughton and Schenn or someone. Just get him in there.

Selective reading. Read properly

I'd rather see Schenn on a line with coots SImmonds. And as a shutdown line he'd be a horrendous choice for the bottom 6. He's being played behind the players you listed because they are being deployed to shut down the opposing team something Gagner can not do. He was battling Schenn for 2nd line left wing. And he lost. Handedly

Raffl-G-Jake

is that so damn hard???
Should we scratch Wayne Simmonds cause he scores 60% of his goals on the PP and he's one dimensional????

He put up 41 points on ARZ playing with guys like Joe Vitale, Kyle Chipchura and other scrubs (the WORST PPG in his career - .50!!!)
