[NYR94]

Barkov is back in.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Barkov is back in.

Great

 

[duhmetreE]

Panarin Strome Kakko

what have they done?

Gallant.... I want to like you.

 

[Machinehead]

So all the panic was for nothing. Lundkvist and Gauthier in.

Oh BTW found this pregame gem from 2009 in case you want to feel good about our skill.

I don't

Panarin Strome Kakko

what have they done?

Gallant.... I want to like you.

I think the hope may be that they 'learn' to play together rather than clicking naturally. That said, I'd be surprised (albeit pleasantly) if it did work.

 

[Crease]

They will try anyone other than Kakko in the Buch slot.

You know you're a quality team when Brashear features on two lines!

 

[Machinehead]

Dane Byers was a blast from the past that nobody asked for

 

[NYR94]

Lisin-Drury-Kotalik yikes those 2009 lines

 

[Machinehead]

Both of my personalities will get the call before Kakko does

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

If the audio is 2 seconds off again my goodness...

 

[Fitzy]

I get that Gaborik was out injured for that game but no f***ing wonder that was the one year we missed the playoffs out of 10.

 

[Kravtsov420]

Im sad again. How can they not even try to put Kakko in other spot. They’re practically ready to put Shesterkin on that top line before him Jesus Christ.

 

[Machinehead]

Fun fact: Dane Byers had a PPG career in England and captained four professional hockey teams.

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Goodrow going to be your 2C after TDL, you heard it here first folks

 

[duhmetreE]

Mika was atrociously bad last game off of the road trip... only way is up.

Hopefully he had some nice tofu and a bottle of wine with his wife... and is ready to go

Barron

I truly believe Zibs-Barron-Goodrow are our best option right now

They are polar opposites and Kakko is always stuck being the designated driver.

I'm starting to think the best thing for this team is to trade Strome.

 

[Machinehead]

 

[Kravtsov420]

Let’s listen to what Stalin’s mouth pieces have to say before this one.

Oh Sam, they’re a good team Sam - For once he’s right ! I guess when he says it about 32 teams, he’s bound to be right at least once

 

[Machinehead]

Tofu is weird. It tastes like absolutely nothing and I think it would almost be better if it tasted actively bad.

I go back and forth on it, depending on the day. Strome isn't as bad as his detractors claim but there is a question to be asked as to whether his presence provides a sort of crutch for Panarin that might not always be healthy.

Still at the end of the day Panarin has never produced with anyone the way he has with Ryan- it's just that they need a cover winger not a skill guy to play with.

 

[Kravtsov420]

Trade Ryan Strobe, before he gives me a seizure

 

[duhmetreE]

I remember when Mika was playing like Barkov-lite.... the good ol' days.

2018-2019 feels sooooo long ago

Mika is playing like Tofu
