It's a good convo. Rivet and Peters disagree

E Rod looked really good yesterday

Skinner didn’t look that involved
Maybe he just needs time to gel with his new teammates?

- jdfitz77


He's just always like that. Kind of a one man show, but that might just be because it's what he's used to, right?

When he's on he's dangerous every shift. When he's not really feeling it, he's just sort of there, mostly.

Thanks for the insight
I guess the next couple months will show if he’s a good fit or not

Biron also says Ullmark can go bar-down with a slapper

Idk if that's useful, but I now want to see it.

First goalie goal since Noronen!

Then, yeah

Also, Pommer at the 11 minutes that he played yesterday is perfect. He won't get worn out. Last year he had that hot start, but he was gassed. Erod played over 17

- jcragcrumple


Gassed?

Or

Not with eichel and on a crappy team?

Pommer played good

I see why Carolina moved on from skinner.
Didnt see anything special in the past 3 games.

I see the hurricanes as a sleeper playoff team.

Honest question, not trying to troll.

Does it look like this team misses O’Reilly one iota so far?

The elite faceoffs, “great” defense, and 60 point player?

Every facet of his game IMO was so over rated

- sbroads24


I’m still laughing from 3 days ago when you posted that you could care less about Kane, O’Reiily and Lenner. I’m still laughing.

That was (frank)ing hilarious. I almost gave myself a hernia, I was howling so hard.

I mean c’mon, can you just imagine??? You really wrote those words. “I don’t care about Kane, ROR, or Lenner.”

Whew, that’s a beauty. Hahahahaha.

I honestly don’t care what they do in the future. I care about evaluating what moves JB has made. I won’t be rooting against or for them. (I hope Lehner does well and gets his poop together)

So far the key cog that was O’Reilly playing 20 min a night for us hasn’t been missed (it’s only 3 games) if it stays that way that’s a huge plus

I know locker room chemistry is important. I can’t tell if the locker room is better this year because it feels like there’s more talent top to bottom, or because certain toxic personality(ies) are gone.

But Berglund/sobotka/tage = 3games 1 assist, 7.25M cap hit

ROR 2games 4 asssists, 7.5M cap hit

What if he wasn’t toxic - and we kept him?

The concern was never for this upcoming season though.

It was do we cash in now, and prevent him from being even more “disgruntled” if/when Casey ate into his playing time.

I just don’t think he’ll ever live up to his contract. He’s a chucker. He throws it on net and some go in. I’ll take the depth we got.

- sbroads24


Did we “cash in?”
Was Casey (1A in 3games 11:30ATOI) going to eat into ROR’s playing time?
Was ROR certain to be “disgruntled” even if demoted to 3C if he contributed to a contender?

So many questions that require narrative answers for the deal to be the right thing....

But he’s gone, and so far we’re winning. So I’m having fun.

I'd say the tie breaker is, who has a better team record at the end of the season. The 31st place team from last year or the blues

3 games is a little premature to throw in the towel, don’t ya think?

Matthews scored twice again tonight (7 goals in 4 games), dude is going to get 14 or more a year... Marner has 3 points... he might get 10.

5-3 over dallas w 1:00 in the 2nd

I don't see a 4m gap between RoR and Berglund at 5v5.
