The Olympiques 21 game winning streak ended in OT tonight.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Tschigerl is 1+1 in the first period.

Get that ELC, Tschigerl!

 

[All Mighty]

Zellweger scores a goal 3 minutes in.

A pretty good read. Size doesn't magicaly solve all problems, but lack of it can be a huge disadvantage. Drysdale = hurt for the whole year. Last playoffs Sam Girard on the Avs was absolutely crushed so taken out of their run early... That's on top of any casual battle where bigger forwards often dominate

I've been wondering about it for a while and I don't think that we can make deep runs with both Dry and Zell on the team. Well, one of them has yet to crack pro hockey ofc

Drysdale isn't small, he just plays small. Zellweger is very small and I don't think he'll ever be a #1 because of that even if his offense totally translates.

 

[Kalv]

Zell is objectively better than them in juniors (less games) but agin, makes you think...

This is just absurd.

Off the top of my head I can really only think of makar and Adam fox who are legit number one dmen and undersized. Most are/have been fairly specialized.

Even nieds seemed small to me and he's 6'1" and played at 200+ pounds.

Kris Russel had like a 1000-game career. Ian White was ok. The rest of these guys are pretty unimpressive.

Tschigerl has added another assist, now 1+2.

Named first star of the game. He's on a heater.

Drysdale came in bigger this season and got hurt. He was smaller last year and played 81 games. Just bad luck for Jamie. He looks even bigger now in recent videos and he's still only 20 years old.

If we're going to use the balanced approach to pairings of 1 OFD/2-wayD with a DFD, then why can't both be on the same team?

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Don’t know what made me think of this (probably Tschigerl’s ELC status), but what’s up with Janicke? Figured he would have had an ATO for the remainder of the year by now, just gonna let him walk to free agency?

 

[Mr Rogers]

Ian White is a name i haven't heard for a long time. just came back to me that he was in the Phaneuf trade way back when. that transaction was like an NHL video game trade in real life

yeah, I don't get the logic behind "we can't have both of them and make deep playoff runs" in the slightest, if they're as talented as they are expected to be in what way is it a bad thing to have them both, they likely as you say get paired with guys like Hinds/Warren/etc. that will cover their weaknesses and allow them to fully thrive with their strengths.

I don’t know if it’ll cover their weaknesses. In the WCF Blackhawks series in 2015 they constantly attacked stoner on the third pairing when he was paired with vatanen and it absolutely worked. Just because one guy in the pairing has x going for him doesn’t mean they won’t exploit the other guys Y

Then we gotta get better talent than Stoner.

I should have said "help cover their weaknesses" I don't think they will fully be able to eliminate their weaknesses obviously that's a near-impossible task but I definitely think they should be able to help in that regard.

I also personally think (and I'm sure some might disagree) that Zellweger/Drysdale will turn out better than Vatanen and that Hinds/Warren (Hinds at least) will turn out better than Stoner so I've got higher hopes for them in that regard.

I hope we are able to sign RD Moore next season! We could use a good skating, shutdown D developing on the pro side!

Wouldn't be surprised if new management doesn't think he's worth signing

Potentially, when they're without the puck faced up against bigger, pgysical forwards and forecheckers.

Having a big partner could decrease the negatives a bit
