Crazy part about this stat card is that Lacombe played 28:12 tonight in the second of a B2B and played 23:05 in last night's game against the Caps. Maybe the team needs to mimick what LaCombe is doing to keep his endurance so high! And great job for Husso's work in the net to give the team a chance to tie it up in the third.

I must have missed the part where I said it isn't important at all. I've already outlined why Luneau isn't the slamdunk some seem to think purely because he's taller.

I'll leave the immature quips to people who appear rather insecure though.

My comment wasn't about Leneau. My comment was that you cannot minimize the impact of Zell's size as you did ("size isn't everything"). It is the biggest (pun intended) reason he's struggling to defend, as he's constantly outmuscled. He's done growing (though perhaps he'll add strenghty). If his career doesn't pan out, it will be due to lack of size and its a huge question mark.

In terms of the bolded, really? The comment calling me "insecure" is in fact an immature quip. Maybe consider that bit of pot and kettle and lighten up a bit?

Next year we get Sennecke.. That right handed one timer is going to be crucial on the PP.. I have no doubt Sennecke will be our next Getzlaf.

I'm high on Sennecke, but I expect (and to be honest hope) he starts next year in the AHL. We've seen how Leo has struggled due to a lack of size/strength/conditioning - resulting in both bad play and some injuries. I fear Sennecke, who like Leo is still filling out, will have the same issues.

He will start in the A..if he dominates..gotta call him up

They always look like that. That's what a young, *fit* team is supposed to look like... not whatever the hell we have, which is hilarious because Verbeek and Cronin clearly value fitness over almost everything else.

You do know their team is at a different part of their rebuild right ?

Their captain and leading scorer is 26. The rest of their top 15 in order are….. 28 / 20 / 21 / 26 (D) / 24 / 25 (D) / 25 / 24 / 30 / 28 / 32 / 30 (D) / 28 / 27

They have 7th OA (26) / 3rd OA (20) / 9th OA (21) / 9th OA (26) / 5th OA (24) / 11 th OA (27). With 5 of their top 6 scorers these guys.

We are …

27 / 30 / 31 / 22 / 24 (D) / 21 / 20 / 35 / 23 / 33 (D and traded) / 29 (injured) / 25 / 21 (D) / 21 (D) / 25

We have a 3rd overall (22) / 5th OA (21) / 2nd OA (20) / 9th OA (23) / 10th OA (21) …. And a 3rd OA in the system still.

With 2 of our top 6 scorers these guys.

In 3 years when Terry is 30, Pavel + Zelly + Tristian + Cutter will all be 24 / Leo 23 / Zegras + helleson + Colangelo 26 / mct 25 / vats 33 / Sennecke 21 / LaCombe 27 /

Most of Trouba / Killorn / Strome / gudas/ Leason / Isac / Fabbri / will be gone and replaced by younger better players or UFA / trade targets that fit our timeline.

We are at least 1-2 years behind Utah’s rebuild. A Marner signing + trade for legit top 6 player accelerates our rebuild pretty quickly.

He's young. And to be honest it's his size that's always will be a problem for him playing against big teams.

Over-skating the puck, poorly timed pinches, and losing his man in the d-zone/wandering have nothing to do with his height.
