he sucks, always has, always will. I literally dislike everything about his game, he cant win a face off, gets rag dolled in the corners ( When he decides to go in the Corner) cant score.... Train wreck-

He's getting better overall slowly and his FO% is 52.7%. He has a low number of shots and a low Shooting % working against him

Wonder if Laaksonen even gets a QO at this point.

they benched him in the playoffs for rochester, think his ship has sailed

Not a fan of sitting Hino for Asplug at all. Hino has been far superior in all aspects
- lulags

coach said he was going to rotate people

I at least like the thought of krebs centering girgs and asplund

they will play good d and maybe pop in a goal or 2

Krebs far more natural center. He is not a good winger. Hopefully gets him going

Lyubushkin is still out, Sheahan cleared waivers so I am guessing they want 8D 13F

He looked really good his 1st year and a 1/4, and then he has never been the same since the Shoulder injury a couple years ago. He's done.

In what world does Okposo who has arguably been one of this teams worst forwards this year in the first line, make sense?

Also comparing moving a 22 year old player to a different position to a 35 YO winger to a top line is truly an apples to apples comparison.

- ImThatGuy


It is completely apples to apples. There are two scenarios that don't seem to make a ton of sense on paper but might make complete sense in real life. Pessimists only ever bother to worry about what it looks like on paper. If Okposo works on the first line why should anyone feel bad about that?

After all that happened over the last 3 years, Saturday was your low point? Come on.

Yeah he covers a lot of ice and plays very fast. I just don’t like that he has too many easy turn overs from forcing high risk passes.

Actually hope he can handle it for 10-15, maybe they get each other going and the lines can balance out.

Krebs gets eaten up very quickly by Dman and heavy forecheck

Just goes to show that you can be terrible 5v5, but if you get featured on the PP, you'll get points.
- Lunaion


Points win games .

Guys that produce points win games.

Pp or not.

Imagine our pp without olofsson? He's even more important to this franchise, then other teams.

Why trade our best guys away?

Yeah, suprisingly I mis-read the lineup 😉

Qulnns looked good IMO.

I think Casey has a big game tonight. Never really a fan, but he really hustles every shift, except coast mode non goal. Very noticeable

- Boss34


Looked good? When. Quinn has looked slow and hasn’t played well at all

Nope.
