And he got the instigator penalty. Real men just beat an ass when it needs to be beaten. And I thought Dahlin was going to be the jersey I bought.

Yup, don't need Tage standing up for a clean hit in pre-season.

Noticeably unnoticeable in the 1st period. Like 90% of last season.

- Buff36


No one wants a broken hand, but I always want Tage to beat an ass when the situation calls for it. Modern day NHL, a clean open-ice hit is about the only thing that starts a spontaneous fight. This is courage in today's game. Tells me everything I need to know about Tage. Love the contract. It looks fantastic right now.

Certainly not on a guy who will probably be in the AHL tomorrow.

We are playing a team that has probably 4 guys on it that will be regulars. I don't need Tage breaking his hand before the season even starts.

To be clear, your position is every NHL team - especially crap ones who never make the playoffs - should waste a roster spot instead of creating competition to see who is dressing each night. Yes or no?

There's no reason at all Biro has to sit every night just because Bjork was and is too good awful to ever dress. Are you that stupid you can't understand that? There is no law that says you have to dress the same 12 forwards every night when 12 of them are not distinctly the best 12.

Who (in your opinion) is Biro better than?

And I’d rather have him (or whoever) playing in Rochester instead of sitting in the Press box here

Speaking of Power, he might already be the best player on this team.

Peyton Krebs should start the year in Rochester IMO. And, it's not necessarily a Biro point. It's a Bjork point. Bjork never dresses because he's trash. Biro isn't. He would dress on occasion when someone has a bad three game stretch. We are starting two rookies in the top 9. You think they're both going to play 82 uninterrupted games? Run our young, bubble forwards (Krebs included) akin to a baseball platoon position. The best guy dresses each night. You don't have to have a nothing guy in the press box when you have enough young forwards who are close to each other in ability. Keep them hungry.

Better to have (whoever) playing hungry in Rochester,
than sitting in the press box here

Kids aren’t gonna improve if they aren’t playing

And you put Biro’s name in the convo, not me

Are you intentionally this dumb? Whether it's Biro or Vinnie or Krebs or Peterka or Weissbach or whomever... they are all light years better than Bjork. Bjork sits in the press box every night because he's worthless. he can't do anything else. A rotation of the other guys would be just that: a rotation. the best guys dress for the last 1 or 2 spots each game. Bjork cannot provide any lineup pressure because he's not any good. why is this so hard for you to follow?

"I think playing in Roch is better than sitting in the press box..." is such a lazy, thoughtless answer. but, why would anyone expect more from you?

He is special, he is really good along the boards blocking players out in both zones.

How much is that Ball worth if 61 is said to be worth 2mill

Lol, you’re brilliant dude
Let’s keep a kid up here on the roster to sit
And yes, if he’s rotating, that means he’s sitting some nights
Makes no sense at all

Let him play in Rochester
And if we want him in the lineup here,
THEN call him up
Rochester is only an hour away

32 NHL GMs & coaches agree with me
Actually more than that, bc that’s how EVERY team has operated for years & years

And the name calling & insults don’t make your points any better- very impressive though

Better odds than the power ball that's for sure.
