Pre-Game Talk: Countdown thread to 24-25 Season (T - 5 days) - Mont Tremblant vacay

Tanev???? This has to be a joke..... He's Josh Gorges 2.0

The Tanev I saw in the post season was not Josh Gorges give me f***ing break.
Many thought Dallas lost their edge and the series when Tanev went down.
You just have to look at his mug to know he ain't Josh Gorges.

There's no way that a team will keep 11 million in the press box for long periods of time. We are stuck until Gallagher goes on LTIR on that end.. and then we need to move Anderson when he has 1 year left on his deal.

Reality of the business, the final parting gifts from MB.



Sergachev isn't tough but he will engage.

But we know that Slaf will engage physically.. Dach has handedly won both his fights. Guhle is tough and will get involved and hit. Reinbacher isn't dirty but he will not shy away from physical altercations.

We've got Tuch coming, Florian Xhekaj, we just drafted Thorpe. We have Arber and Struble.

I don't think we are done adding toughness and size. But that's certainly not one of my concerns with the roster, there's more than enough f*** you on the roster.. the only real soft players are Caufield and Hutson long term but they are our most offensively gifted guys up front and are very small, so we know thats not in their game.



I agree. This isn't an element they aren't wanting to add. They know it's important and the size of Slaf and Reinbacher are things that weighed into their decision to draft them.. not to mention someone like Beck is a bit of an agitator and likes to play physical, as well.



Not me, we got too many guys coming up. We know Armia dogs it too often.. at best I'd give him 1 year contracts and trade him as soon as it's clear that all the young guys are better. No term for him, at all.

As long as we have a guy who can forecheck and defend and score 15-20 in the system, then I’d agree. There may be a lot of guys, but most won’t be nhlers. I wouldn’t necessarily say Armia dogs it. He’s just not a fast skater.

Tanev is a solid defensive player, great on the PK, and probably the best shot blocker in the league but he's not physical at all, it's not is game.

 

[Adriatic]

I don't care about training camp, Arber should be there game 1 vs Leafs. I don't wanna see Reeves skate around doing stupidities all game long.

The dude is a maniac he's fearless stands up to anyone and is often in their face.
Why are people trying to turn the argument into something it isn't.
It's about standing up for your team mates when the temperature rises.
We are soft we were soft last year and nothing we've added this season has made us any tougher to play against.
We have help coming but it isn't here yet. It's all well and nice to have some jam but it has to be on the ice not on the bench or in the minors.

This is my last word on the subject the team will have to prove me wrong going forward but I won't be holding my breath.

Man he looks so much like a yes man for the organisation. Jesus

Engels annoys me more - won't say a single negative thing about a player cause he wants to be their friend.

I think that's because he gets a lots of his "scoop" from players talking more then they should.

He's pure slime.

 

[Ozmodiar]

On a personal note, Basu is getting on my nerves.

He gets himself in over his head when he tries to be an analyst or expert.

Engels drives me nuts with his long winded questions. I don’t know how the interviewees have the patience for it.

Truth be told I really don't like any of our English media types. Didn't like Pat Hickey either.

his podcast with MAG was good because Godin has a more laid back style and checks R-Pon's ego.

I think you nailed it, Basong’s ego is unbereable for me. Jesus.
