Wood could have destroyed that Bruins' defenseman coming out of the corner and didn't even try.

Totally noticed that. So weird.

liked thompsons game tonight

He has hustled. Decent performance.

 

[MartyOwns]

thompson has a hell of a motor

liked thompsons game tonight

I like the energy he plays with but he hasn't really been that noticeable. Certainly doesn't help that his linemates are both playing pretty poorly tho

Just hold on 5 more minutes.

No hold! Score!

Holtz if given a top 6 opportunity all games would score more than Zetterlund. I still stand by that statement.

Tough to score when you're caved in your own end or stuck in the perimeter.

Holtz' day will come. He's not NHL ready. Zetterlund is.

thompson has a hell of a motor

All you can ask a guy like that

 

[Omar Little]

thompson has a hell of a motor

He is a far better compliment to the lineup than Holtz at the moment

thompson has a hell of a motor

He got the skating gene Tage didn't, didn't get Tage's hands or shots though

 

[Devils090]

C’mon Yegor

Zetterlund right now is better than Holtz though. If he's not in a scoring roll Holtz isn't worth having on the roster as a fourth liner. Having said that put him back in Utica for another year and hopefully he can EARN his spot next year like Zetterlund has this year.

Holtz will learn nothing more in Utica. Especially considering there are no decent centers on the team to set him up.
He is ready for pros now. Just needs time and patience which Ruff doesn't want to give him.

The rare game he has started on a top 6 line, Holtz has found himself back on 4th line after 1 period. How he meant to find consistency and chemistry with a top 6 center if that happens.

Either play him or if you dont think he is capable of a top 6 role, then trade him.
Ruff is killing this guy career.

 

[Whaddagoal]

is OK hurt or just not being played

They keep showing him and smith on bench. I am guessing ruff shortened it

 

[MauDevils]

is OK hurt or just not being played

Probably benched. But yet we keep trotting out Bahl and his 28% xGF and 2 penalties.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

[JK3]

Hit the net aaaaahhhhhh!

 

[JK3]

Of course.

[Whaddagoal]

f*** me!!

 

[NJDevs26]

Oh boy Vitek is just as up and down as the rest of the team now

 

[Emperoreddy]

I like the energy he plays with but he hasn't really been that noticeable. Certainly doesn't help that his linemates are both playing pretty poorly tho

Not the ideal game to cycle him in. I think with a few more practices he could fit in and be more noticeable.

 

[Satans Hockey]

Of course, f***ing hell
