Can someone tell me what Bean brings to the table..er, ice?

 

[anotherlurker]

Something positive! It's not so bad I strongly believe this team only needs time and get rid of some mistakes. There is so much talent on the team. I've seen Carolina pummel a lot of teams and I want to believe it's the goodness of jackets that it's not so bad.

 

[Napoli]

If Laine isn't scoring he's one of the worst players on this team. So many turnovers

I like Boqvist'a game a lot. I have no idea how it took this long to see him. Him and Zach have been playing well.

Eh, Patty is also a great backchecker. I agree the turnovers significantly hurt his contribution to the team.

But this the best handling we've seen from Patty since the concussion, hopefully he's on his way up.

 

[Seedtype]

Nice stick check by Carolina's goalie heh.

0 shots on goal.
0 hits.
0 blocks.

impressive.

That’s why I don’t follow soccer; don’t want to jinx Crew or Cincy & have them go to hell…

A warm body……relatively

Yeah hopefully he racks up some hits in the 3rd

 

[Seedtype]

The team certainly feels a lot better defensively don't they?

less chaotic for sure. Getting closer to giving outside shots and limiting the high danger chances but still have sometightening up to do. A lot of that though is probably due to how often they are in their own end with the limited control in the offensive end

 

[majormajor]

The team certainly feels a lot better defensively don't they?

Definitely.

Though obviously the score is mostly Elvis.

There weren't that many of them again. On the contrary, he played great under the forechecking more than once, plus, as he wrote, excellent backchecking.
But he needs to be reminded that the puck is faster than skating.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Is it my TV or do Fantilli’s lips look very red?

 

[Halfboard]

Is it my TV or do Fantilli’s lips look very red?

I noticed that as well. I like his game; he has an edge to him.

 

[VT]

Carolina hasn't been able to capitalize on their strengths, shots by defensemen and the play in front of the net. We'll see how it goes, but I like the play of the whole team. Sillinger and Chinakhov are playing much better with the Texier. Boqvist is getting along with Werenski. I'm very interested to see where Roslovic and Severson play.

 

[MoeBartoli]

The team certainly feels a lot better defensively don't they?

Yes, much better. It also helps that Elvis has been solid and displaying much sounder positioning and discipline.

If he continues like this, Gaudreau could have 36 points....at $9.75 Million...What is wrong with him?

Agree on adding Tex and Boqvist with Z.

Also These last 6 or so games have been Roslovic’s most consistent stretch.

He’s not playing with linemates like he had in Cal Gary.

I dont think he did last year either

Pretty sure he would start scoring more if he played with Fantilli and Marchenko but Vincent doesn't want them together for whatever reason.

 

[Seedtype]

WOOT that's how you start a period!!!

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

1-0 CBJ Marchenko with a true snipe top shelf from the boards! Great shot.
