That's just flat out hilarious.

17 pages of chatting for the game tonight....I like the enthusiasm from everyone!

They're trying to get back at us for JR giving them Kaberle. For which we are all still very grateful.
No. I think Dwyer earned a chance to play there honestly. And I'll even say that he probably should have had the chance earlier.
You've gotta hand it to the guy. He skates hard, doesn't make stupid mistakes very often, handles the puck fairly well, and makes the most of any chances he gets.
I really thought he brought a little spring to that line tonight.
That last bolded part is where I'd hesitate. We need to remember that this is the same Pat Dwyer who a week ago had hands of stone and would blow past people through the neutral zone just to flub a scoring chance.
Gotta manage expectations here. Unless he completely reinvents himself from this point forward, he is going to start missing chances again. And that's exactly what we complain about with LaRose on the top lines.
It's only fair to take that outrageous Cole contract off of them in return for taking Kabs.

I don't completely disagree with putting Dwyer up on the 2nd line provided he's doing basically the same thing LaRose does, but with more speed.
If that's what it takes to shift some scoring talent around and win some games, no problem. If nothing else, he at least generates chances with his speed and does a ton more forechecking than Dalpe did.
Seems like 2 per game at least.Speaking of Dwyer....I think it is important for him to manage his own expectations from his game. He is not flash, she needs to use his speed and skating to get in good positions, force turnovers to the other two and then crash the net. When he gets opportunities like the goal tonight, just make sure to get off a good shot. No deking or stick handling through guys, just get quick hard shots off. Its ok if he makes it ugly dirty goals, we have enough guys showing flash for a change.
Speaking of flash, I am wondering how many times Semin is going to hit iron this season before he actually hits mesh. I am putting the over under at 15. He has at least 8 posts/crossbars so far.
Does he know the net area is much bigger than the post area?
