Idk
Points:
Kucherov - a bunch
Point - a lot of goals
McD high + rating
Girgensons still at 0 goals
Marchand probably just under ppg
Swayman a lot of wins
Standings
Boston #3 in the Atlantic
Tampa WC #1 but not good enough for a couple posters
Lightning look ahead:
A lot of games we probably won't win and if we do, it'll be written off as games we got lucky
Cooper:
"We got gamed. Their goalie is a gamer, what can you say? I mean, this is the NHL where shots are hard and guys in front of Vasy not tying up sticks makes it harder to see. Cant blame him. We got goalied. I liked our effort though."
Girgensons:
"I liked our efforts, I really don't do much in situations like this to help us win because I don't score goals. What else can I say? We need to be better."
Kucherov:
"No questions"

He's definitely better than last season, but I still have the feeling that he allows a bad goal like every other game. Like when LA scored their first goal, or Svechnikov's goal 2 days ago

Crowd was late to puck drop as well. I heard there was a lot of traffic back up on the Howard Frankland at least, I dunno about other routes.

So this might be dumb, but this year might be the perfect year to try to get Marchand for the playoff run if Boston is selling. He would fit perfectly on the second and third lines. He also brings that locker room leadership. Only has this year left.

Youre one of my favorite posters but I don't think I've ever read a more hot, acidic diarrhea inducing post in my life. I mean, I don't think I've ever seen something so repulsive in written form. I got licked reading this. I got low bridged and my nose grew thinking of this.
No. Hell no.
On second thought, you should be banned. Left in the doldrums of the last forum or somehow serve in this changeover purgatory for like 5 years. This recommendation should be scrubbed off the internet. You psychopath.
As an avid EA NHL player, you should know that of you really dislike a player, you should just trade for them and then send them to the AHL. JBB just needs to remember to turn off waivers in the settings. I used to do this with Kovalchuk.

you know what.... as much as i hate Marchand, he is really what we could use right now. im sure we would be one of the 8 teams he wouldnt waive for but its definitely something interesting to think about

We aren't keeping Geekie if we trade for Marchand. There's just no way. We are gonna need another center at some point too. Cirelli and Paul are gonna get chained at the hip tasked to shut down the #1 line of whatever team we face. Bet on it. That leaves Point-Kucherov on line 1. You have Hagel, Marchand and Guentzel without a 2C option and I give it 93% odds Hagel is gonna get tasked with a shutdown role.
I honestly think Coop would rather throw line 2 and all the scoring that comes with it into the fire if it meant not having to fashion a new shutdown line

Yeah, he's much improved over last year, yet not back to peak Vasy form. He's been good enough thus far for me to believe he could take it up another level in the playoffs.

I was thinking about Andersson a bit this morning and it could actually be a super savvy move if the cap has the bigger than expected jump that EF is reporting. You could essentially build 3 very solid 2-way pairs of:
Moser - Andersson
McDonagh - Cernak
Hedman - Raddysh
Which would allow us to give Hedman more sheltered starts as he ages and begins to decline. This would be allotting a lot of capspace for Defense though, so you'd have to be pretty confident in Geekie at 2RW as we would have very minimal budget to upgrade their and would need to spend pretty much the entire remaining cap on our third line.

That shit is f***ing SAWFT. Christ I hate people like this. A locker room is literally the one place on earth where nothing should be taken personal as it comes to scrutiny. I mean do we need a poster talking about it or something?
