Post-Game Talk: Draisaitl is the only hockey player we have right now

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I saw the team report card for the game against, I think, New Jersey, and Emberson had the worst grade I've ever seen on one of those...

Him, Kapanen, and Janmark are basically AHL players right now.

Walman definitely makes this team better, which makes me dread how much worse the team would be playing without him. And this is a team that lost to Buffalo, New Jersey without Jack Hughes AND Dougie Hamilton (that would be like no Connor for us...since Ekholm is already out), and barely beat an Islanders team that traded its top Centre and quit on the season.

Maybe they should try Pickard on the wing on the nights Skinner is trying to play goal. We lose half those games anyway.

The GYB guys said they should put him on Leon’s line. The winger they’ve looked for was under their nose all this time! (Except, he wears funny equipment).

I think they need to get Klingberg some games soon if he’s healthy. He might have surpassed Emberson at this time.

Decent game, pickard played well. But man is it noticeable how much better and harder this team plays infront of pickard compared to Skinner

And I'm done with knoblach. Guy is in over his head in a bad way. He has no structure. We have went backwards regarding are play. And similar to the previous coaches he is riding mcdrai straight into the ground with all the ice time they get

I wonder if anyone has been saying the team will give up on Skinner since before the season started, and that we'd be better off with another Goaltender?

Of course its not his fault. Its the orgs fault. Here we are over a decade into the McDrai era and we have less capable forwards to be playing topsix on a contender than we had even as far back as Chiarelli.

Podz isn't a great defensive forward either. He's physical, finishes checks and some of his passes work. Playing with Drai or the offensive D on this club some of those passes are going to work.

Its the teams fault they don't have somebody better on the line to play a puck grabbing role and score some. Frederic is probably that correction.

Bottomsix has never worked out for Podkolzin either. In Vancouver the attempt to make him a role player failed. Its why he was a labeled bust and still is. A fire hydrant would have as many goals playing all season with Draisaitl.

It used to be that fire hydrants could get 46 goals when playing with elite players.

There nothing special about to say it’s fantastically better that I would single him out in a thread saying how much better he is.

I mean ya he’s doubled his goals scored so far, from 4 to 8, and is on pace for maybe 10. Wow…

Hold me still, I can only get so excited.

It’s akin to suggesting that a player has doubled his scoring output so is 100% better player, “checks stats” and sees said player scored 2 goals instead of 1.

I believe the original poster was listing players that were playing better than they were last year. It was a short list and he was one of the few. That was it. He has the same number of goals and more points than Viktor Arvidsson, more points than Henrique, Skinner and Podz. It looks like he has the fifth highest points total among forwards on the team.

That show how badly they screwed the team up last summer.

Yes. He’s 5th in scoring on a zero offense producing team.

Well done Connor Brown.
