OJ + LE for Dubois?

Since we are gunning for a guaranteed top 4 pick this year, safe bet.

He’s physical, I don’t hate that. I just hate the panic dumps and taking penalties cause he’s constantly out of position. Easily one of my least favourites to watch. I like the snarl, but he seems to not be able to do it without taking stupid penalties. I’d much rather just have an actaul fighter on the bench to keep the other side honest.

An actual fighter! Man that would be great. So hard to find these days though. Dying breed

Short list of who looked better than bad...
- Bo
- Miller
- Boeser (for first half)
- OJ
...and...Sutter

Disappointing showing tonight.
- SlightlyOffside

Ya the entire d was shaky. Demko was just ok. And like you pointed iut very few forwards. First period seems to be good but we can’t keep the pace up.

True. But its another night now on b2b playing with only 5D. Sh!t happens look at the Blues losing 8-0. But the unforced errors and/or cough-ups are killers. Not to mention 2 short-handed against.

Now i'm going to need to change up my D pairings for next game since Myers is going to be out. Who's going to be in the box.

Says the guy sitting behind a keyboard telling us how tough an NHL D man is. Nice.

Ya for sure. Need to draft some bigger forwards and hope for a tom wilson. Rare breed indeed.

I got 17/1 for TT scoring 2 goals. It wasn't a huge bet but.....

- VanHockeyGuy

So doubling down for next game...?

Facts are facts. If you don’t fight and you turtle or pull a guy to the ice, you’re not tough. Matt cooke was not tough the same way. Brashear and Gino, those guys are tough.

OJ + LE for Dubois?
- Retinalz

Isn’t OJ now one of the top 4D
Edler -out
Hamonic - out
Myers - likely a suspension
Chatfield - out (not sure how long)

Hughes, Schmidt, OJ...Benn? Rafferty? Emergency recall Brisebois?

So doubling down for next game...?
- NuckUp

No, I just had a feeling TT would FU them again. He'll get 1 though SAT, book it.

Agree to disagree. I see a team with enough skill at this point. Need to tighten up the defending and I wouldn’t hate a toughguy.

Rathbone NHL debut.

I don't think comparing Cooke to Myers is fair....same with Brash and Gino. Different players show toughness in different ways. Also different eras of hockey. Yes he played like a bag of shit tonight. Everyone did. But that was a clean hit within the rules of NHL hockey.

Yeah if they gift wrap it again for sure.

His head was the principal point of contact, id be shocked if he isn’t suspended. They did all play like poop, but i notice him every game and it’s starting to be like a more physical Hutton.
