yeah, Cuylle really hit the wall production wise from like mid February on

but that's understandable, he never played that many games in his life

Definitely. Couple that with Chytil & Kakko injuries which put guys like Goodrow and Vesey on his line, and you could see why his points dipped. I'm really hoping that line stays healthy all year and they can build some chemistry

if Chytil doesn't get hurt they don't make the Wennberg and Roslovic trades

also if he doesn't get healthy it doesn't screw up the chemistry of what they had going first 7 games of playoffs

Chytil is certainly the great unknown going into this season

Haha. WHY!!...just why. You know it just keeps going over...and over..
For the love of gay Batman's flaming sidekick's vagina. Make it end.

yeah that Trocheck is terrible, woof

agreed

agreed
- BINGO!

As much as hate Drury, can't fault him for Trocheck so far. Team is cooked without him (Trocheck) if he's not on the roster.

Prove a little bit of point that even when talking about the likes of player that underperformed that the lash of anger is still misguided.

for you

Can a day go by with peace?
I posted a column with my opinion. I said it was a miss. A tragic one, no, but a miss at depth. Clearly Sprong is not well liked. But holy crap, enough, and stop trying to elicit a purposeful response to perpetuate the anger.

(frank) it, get him banned for skirting his original ban. I give up. Not solely his fault but he only wants to derail the conversation. Im defeated

Pickle has spoken. Now that we have his blessing, it’s time.

Sorry Jan that you have to endure this.

But by my count, on this single blog, there are 13 posts by Jimmy with direct personal insults plus another 8 posts that were purely sarcastic/antagonistic. That doesn’t count the two “fake fan” posts. I counted almost zero retorts/personal attacks on jimmy. Dude, get something else in your life and step away, you clearly take this personally.


Edit: not defending Tom or brukie in this post. But they aren’t attacking. They are stating their opinions.

Glad somebody sees it.

I have one goal/wish. To see a certain action happen. And I make that known without insulting anybody here. But the mantra for some is: "rules for thee, not for me."

I promise to be extremely sarcastic about Sprong all year

the fact that people on here are calling for Drury to be fired for not signing Sprong is the hockeybuzz equivalent of the Fonzi jumping over the shark on water skis

Was this spoken about already?

https://bleacherreport.co...e-2025-nhl-trade-deadline

It will be nice to go into the deadline with a decent amount of available spending money. By then, we will know how the Smith signing is playing out & if Kakko/Othmann take a firm grasp of the 3RW spot

I don't see Lindgren making it to the August 2nd arbitration date, you gotta think they will settle beforehand and relatively soon

It’s just typical fandom viewed in a vacuum.

Just because Sprong wasn’t signed doesn’t mean Drury missed. Is it possible that Drury didn’t want to sign him? If Sprong is signed, then there’s no room for Othman or any of the other AHL guys to get a crack at the lineup. Sure, you can think that Sprong was a cheap option than Reilly Smith, but Smith blows Sprong out of the water as a complete player. Not to mention his cup experience.

We’re going into the season as is. There’s plenty of ammunition to make the right change at the deadline.

all we do is criticize players for not getting it done in the playoffs and now everyone hates a clear playoff proven player in Reilly Smith, it's silly

The asset thing I get, but I also don’t care enough about it. Especially if he performs, then I really don’t care lol.

It's also the last year of his contract. No commitment after this year. Also, we already have some depth and we all want to see Othmann get a fair shot.

Lots of players that can warrant ice time. If the bottom 6 struggles, go find a Sprong type player and acquire him at the TDL
