Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

[Blotto71]

Kaprisov has been out.

He's been centering Kaprisov for much of the year, so if anyone is "benefitting" it's Boldy.

Sure, but you’d expect his point totals to slow down in the absence of who people are calling a Hart trophy candidate.

Boldy is really good.

 

[Blotto71]

Boldy is really good.

Absolutely - he's getting 1st line and 1st unit pp time with Kaprisov out. In fairness to the op, he and Rossi have been good together (so Rossi is indirectly benefiting?).

That was my point - I originally said he was playing well and got told, "but he's playing with Kaprisov". I noted that he's been the 1C for much of the year and is getting it going. Then another poster noted that Kaprisov is out...

Ultimately, what I want to say is ... Rossi is good in his own right with or without Kaprisov, and it is nice to see him heating up, regardless of who is on his wings.

Kaprisov being out helps provide the proof, that was my point.

Cool, we are on the same page

Anytime any player gets to play with top end players on the roster they should benefit.

Rossi has had a nice season.. I am happy for him and pulling for him. He is a smart player

My take is that they both benefit .

Boldy leads the wild in toi on the pp ; Boldy, Kaprisov, Zuccarello (top 3 forwards); Zuccarello missed about 13 games and has 10 minutes more than Rossi
TOI at 5on5
Rossi and Boldy are about a minute apart
Rossi Kaprisov w/o Boldy 301:13
Boldy Kaprisov w/o Rossi 146:40
Boldy Kaprisov Rossi 65:25
Boldy w/o Kaprisov w/o Rossi 298:36
Rossi Kaprisov Zuccarello 251:40

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

lol

 

[BigRig4]

Damn Joseph is having a crummy year eh

 

[KingAlfie11]

Habs are playing some good hockey, we better start winning some games soon cause Detroit are playing better, Montreal is playing better.

 

[Ouroboros]

Another elite win for the Habs. Looks like playoffs for them this season.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Better start winning

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Yep, we had our little surge in December but the Habs and the Wings are not messing around now and they will both overtake us by next week unless we stop f***ing around.

 

[StoicSensFan]

I guess we're just going to forget that this road trip was our most difficult stretch of the season? Lots of home games left

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Rossi 4 assists tonight Wild shutout Canes
Boldy 1g 2 a
Zuccarello 2g 1a

 

[thinkwild]

Was hard cheering for the leafs over the bruins but

Hopefully not for the habs to pass though after their most difficult stretch of the season

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Boston is losing right along with the Sens... they have not gained any ground. We have to hit the reset button and catch them

 

[PlayOn]

All these teams surging because their best players are elevating, meanwhile ours have stopped scoring. Gonna need them to wake up asap.

 

[Senscore]

Ok Ullmark time to stop f***ing around

 

[Boud]

Boston is losing right along with the Sens... they have not gained any ground. We have to hit the reset button and catch them

Same for Tampa.

There’s like 5 teams within 2 points or less of us though. Will be an absolute bonkers end of the season.

And we’re missing 2 top 9 forwards and our starting goalie

 

[Tuna99]

Scott Wheeler is not enjoying anything about the WJC, the players, the management, coaching and the fans. Perfect guy to cover the tournament.

when his suffering is finally over, the next day he’s going to wake up, tuck his t-shirt into his pants and put on his smart guy glasses bought in downtown Toronto at the smart guy shop from a Leaves fan who can’t afford tickets and find something else to disrupt his bowel movements.

 

[NyQuil]

The road trip has been a real challenge and will require us to take advantage in a huge way once it is over.

Sens, Penguins, Flyers, Habs, Wings and the Blue Jackets…. All gunning for the last WC spot.
