I don't think dressing a goon does a damn thing to prevent head hunting.
- hehateme

I disagree


it's been a free for all for the other teams before tomorrow

3 on 3 is better than the shootout
- Stripes77



I personally don't see either one as any less of a gimmick than the other, to be honest.

Muller for Richer
Verbeek for Sylvain Turgeon for Claude Lemuiex
Burke for Bobby Holik and Jay Pandolfo

- dadeadhead


Not top8 picks

And Richer was a secondary guy on those teams
Not a core member of that dynasty


With all those picks,
they got Guerin... that’s it

for starter

if money was never an issue, ror would still be a sabre

and there would be a director of hockey ops

and we would not have the rookie gms and head coaches, or some guy from left field that ran a soccer team


you pay for the best
overpay if you have to


the second any great head coach hit the market, pegula should have been on the phone offering that person the most money in nhl history


instead we rotate from one rookie gm to another
one blah head coach to another

drink the koolaid

and wonder 5 years later why eichel has never played in a playoff game



seriously if they don't turn it around in 12 months, he will want out and dahlin will be a few years behind him

- homiedclown



I really don't think you can evaluate Krueger with this roster. There are just too many holes. His system has helped some players and made others disappear, yes. I won't pretend to know why, exactly.

But he needs to be given a 2nd line to really judge him

In about 27-30 hours from now, we will be asking what the point of dressing Dalton Smith was, again.

I don't think dressing a goon does a damn thing to prevent head hunting. Players will continue to take runs at our best players because the NHL set it up that way. They will not be scared one bit because we have a goon in the line up. or are they scared of what the NHL will do to them. Case in point the hit on Dahlin. Dahlin out 8 games with scrambled egg brains and a repeat offender Cernak get a slap on the wrist of 2 games..

Some teams are less likely to get headhunted.

Less swedish teams for sure
Tkachukless teams

The nhl let's it happen. But , look what teams it happens too. Soft teams.

It can be exciting but most of the time its just playing keep away in the NHL. I dont like it less than the shootout but for international id rather see 10 mins of 4 on 4

"Soft" is usually just another way of saying "not very good".

Oh I agree we are soft, Charmin extra soft. But playing a goon is not going to do a damn thing IMO. You need team toughness. I mind set that nobody messes with my brothers no matter what. that has to come from the head coach down.

I believe they do that for the quarterfinals and the semifinals.

The Gold Medal game is 20 minutes of 5-on-5 then shootout.

how is casey
e rod
skinner
hutton
mccabe
vesey
sheary
montour
johansson


that's pretty much half the roster


and I probably left off 1 or 2 d men that should be in that mix as well



other then eichel and olofsson, who is really taking the next step after 40 games of kruger?


those others that are, dahlin and joker are not getting much ice time


maybe we can dress 8 d men this weekend to keep bogo happy

I think you get your answer tomorrow night.

If one of our guys gets stretchered off again, than yes.
If we win, maybe it's the answer you weren't expecting?

Soderberg and/or Haula would have helped. He went D instead
- jcragcrumple


We already went through Haula
In hindsight he may have helped,
but at the time it didn’t make much sense
Not for 2C

Soderberg is a 3C as well who’s 34yrs old
I certainly don’t remember anyone being upset that we got MoJo instead of him
Were you, or did i miss that?

3 on 3 expanded to 7 minutes in the ECHL because of how much they hate the shootout

It actually involves some actual playing of the hockey other than a skills competition

Teams have changed their strategy in OT over the last year or two. They realize it's all about puck possession.

They either keep a guy who can control the puck during a line change or pass it to their goalie.

Solid post.

Cant change the entire lineup though by tomorrow night.

Let's revisit this after the game.

I think its makes a difference, could be wrong -
