It really should be quite a good defense though

Yeah, their goaltending is terrible. But they don't have 'ol Mike Smith to kick around anymore

Hahahaha

So by not taking penalties means he’s lazy?

So ROR is lazy then by that logic.

- Stripes77



Good point stripes, penalties don't always equate to lazy. It's the other things, like :after practice ror practices. Showing up on time to work. General hustle

I read something that said that Hjalmarsson and OEL don't seem to have any chemistry yet they're out there together all the time.

That was also last week I believe, so not sure if that's changed at all yet

Nobody here "guaranteed" it though. Some of us said that we could see them being in the mix or making it. It's possible it still happens. I think the next two weeks are pretty key to see if things continue to progress the right direction.

It would explain a lot

And the coyotes have the Rookie of the year on their roster when nylander is in the ahl

And that’s not say he won’t be good but he’s not Keller

Yes, yes I can.

Because I would give the reasons why I was wrong. He just says "well, it was a guarantee if you believe that I believed what I said was serious."

He made the claim that they have a top 5 D corps and dangerous weapons up front

If he admits that he was wrong, no harm done, that's respectable.

But he would never say he's wrong

This is his 3rd year in the NHL
He’s played 2 full seasons
Counting a 9game stint before he went back to juniors is nonsensical

Although, I guess that’s right up your alley

- jdfitz77


4th year , including the 9 game stint. What is up my alley? Don't let facts get in the way

Whenever he's wrong, he says it's not because he valued his contrarian assessment too highly, its because hockey is a fickle game, and sometimes his outcomes are the victims of bad luck

Sorry Bossy Bossmeister
It was a joke
Obviously I don’t know u

And I never said u can’t have an opinion
But when u say stuff like:
-he doesn’t wear a letter
-he got sat for a game
-this is his 4th year
-etc etc etc

Well, it kinda kills your credibility

We get it, u don’t like him

Most of us think a kid who averaged 20goals & over 45pts in his first 2 full seasons still has some potential

I'm good, it's a debate. Just curious what is except able for a full 3rd year starting high draft pick? 20 and 45 average first 2 years. 3rd year and prime years 25 and 50?

On pace for 16 goals and 24 points .

Very true. Just kinda wonder if they've stopped trying to jam a square peg in a round hole yet.

I used to get the NHL package so I could watch whatever games I wanted to, but with how many games are available via NBC sports and such these days, I stopped shelling out the extra money. I also don't have as much time these days. I used to love watching the West Coast games, but I'm asleep by a little after 11 most days now so I wouldn't get to see much even if I tried.

Technically speaking his 9 game stint does not count as a year according to the CBA.

So factually you’re not correct.

No one said it wasn’t a rough start
Even Toews & Crosby has 15+ game streaks where they didn’t score

If Sam finishes with 24pts,
then everyone will agree with you
But that’s probably extremely unlikely

Yeah, NHL network shows a lot of games too
And they show condensed replays of many games
Pretty easy to get your fill of hockey as long as there aren’t specific games u wanna see
