[Captain Dave Poulin]

 

[Magua]

Going with the theme of the thread......10 game suspension for Radko.

At least they're consistent with protecting players.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Lavi is such an amazing character. That locker room scene from 24/7 is truly unforgettable.

 

[Tripod]

And with him being a RHD, Morin still won't get the call up.

 

[Magua]

They could easily move someone to RD. Only one person doesn't play both sides: Provorov. But they won't because they'll just use Manning, who they vociferously feel is a starting-caliber defenseman.

If it was a LD that got this suspension, they'd still just use Manning over Morin.

 

[boxcar65]

I wonder if Hexy’s patience is getting thin with Radko. Could we see him moved for some scoring help?

You're not fooling us with your ulterior motives, boxcar

 

[Curufinwe]

They might just demote Alt when MacDonald is fit and go with 6 dmen. Gudas takes up a roster spot while he’s suspended, so he’s really let the team down.

 

[Lindberg]

If toughness is so important in this league like some think it is, trading Gudas is a fools errand.

Especially considering how good they looked together, Provorov-Ghost would be great and open a LD spot.

Only issue is then you don't have one or the other our for more then 2/3 of the game, but it's an option.

I want that pair to get 27-30 minutes. But we know it's going to be something like:

Provorov-Mac/Hagg
Ghost-Mac/Hagg
Sanheim-Manning

Though I guess they could do Sanheim-MacDonald to ease the latter back. None of these sound pleasing

Manning, MacDonald, and Hagg all in the lineup at once...

Not to mention Lehtera and Weise...

You know what this says to me? We're absolutely going to go on a winning streak.

Then they'll all stay in, even after everyone is healthy.

Yeah..2 games..followed by 2 losses.

Talk about confirmation bias if they go on a win streak with MacDonald back in a big role.

 

[David St Hubbins]

I have studiously avoided all the back and forth about Hak, Manning, and the rest of the drama. But for ****’s sake, this has gone on long enough. Time to cut bait with this crew. Morin needs his shot. Martel and Lindblom dessert their shots. ZKak needs to be taken out back with Manning and be shot. It’s gone too ****ing far. Enough already.

If there is one player who should handle playing offside it's Provorov. He's no Pronger, but he should be fine.

 

[Magua]

I'm sure he could if needed, even if he has little experience there. When Ghost was paired with him, they were switching at times mid-play. There was definitely a bit of rovering going on.

That said, I don't see the need to put Provorov in any position than the one he'll be most successful in, which is LD. He has so rarely, if ever, played RD. Ghost/Hagg/Manning/MacDonald/Sanheim all are RD capable, to varying degrees. It would make Provorov individually worse and more uncomfortable and not make the team any better.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Sit Lehtera and Weise. Call up Vecchione and Lindblom/Martel/Whoever.

Sick of watching these 2 shit veterans.

That's just something that can not be avoided, playing offside screws you mostly in transition. That's why players who are great at that aspect of a game are the ones able to play it on high level. Now if you have players like Amac and Manning, it doesn't matter they don't have the vision for successful breakouts anyway. Hagg is 20 games into his nhl career and already went from sheltered minutes straight to top pair being buried in dzone. Not sure if he needs to be jerked yet into a new spot playing on left side just yet. All in all it's all just f***ing jumbled mess and I have no confidence of Hak putting two of Provy, Ghost or Sanheim together to make one good pairing and instead handicap them the way he does with most everything else.

Filppula has 4 5v5 points in 247 minutes this year. Read had 6 in 261 minutes he spent on line with wonder twins last year, yet he won't even see the ice for such a waste of roster spot such as Lehtera or Weise. Whoever said that even if Martel ends up being called up he will see 6 minutes of ice time with Lehtera and will be criticized for not producing hit the nail on the head.

 

[Appleyard]

Some interesting stuff I figured that some of you not on twitter might find interesting.

 

[hatcher]

If toughness is so important in this league like some think it is, trading Gudas is a fools errand.

Every team except us has players that are hard nosed. We have 20 all stars according to Hexy.

 

[Lindberg]

Patrick is the only player I can deal with really having an up and down season since I expected it. Simmonds not scoring in 12 games is unacceptable, if he's injured he should be watching. Weal and Konecny need to pick it up. Lehtera and Weise can go die in a fire.

 

[Danko]

oh hey, matt read is waived again
