The one thing I dont get... Chytil has for the past 2 games, used the boards and his speed to come down the right wing and score.. Why move him to the left?

This is assuming the practice lines are what we will get.

Because playing like garbage is ok as long as you look like you're trying really hard.

Same old shit with this team.

Gorton talks about his "character" approach. It's not new. It's been character > skill for 80 years with this team. That's why they never win Cups and they never have talent.

Same thing can be applied to our RHD situation.

They don't like DeAngelo because he honestly doesn't have to break his neck to be effective, whereas other guys (not mentioning any names) look like they're trying real hard to stop Hank from getting executed by rubber, or starting a fight after Hank gets executed by rubber.

pssst...... listen.... coach quinn is smarter than all of us guys.

bench buchnevich after 10 days off. so smart.

tell the press "he needs to play better"..... then the press and all of us all say, "yeah but um.... you have been off for 10 days" .....so how did he play bad or um....." ???

yet howden plays (same numbers as buch btw just way worse 5v5) and staal and pionk....

brilliant. what a mind. wonder if quinn writes poetry ? were not worthy.

Been looking forward to another game and to discussing hockey stuff with my fellow comrades here. It’s been too long...ok it’s been only 10 days but felt like an eternity.

Wait wait wait...Staal is being paired with Pionk again? I don’t mind them both playing, but that pair obviously hasn’t worked.

The Buchnevich thing is going to turn into a carbon ****ing copy of the DeAngelo argument.

Clearly, Quinn places a heavy emphasis on doing the things that are asked of you, and working to correct the mistakes the coaches identify. And if during games, and during practice, you're still doing the same stupid **** over and over and over, he's not going to play you. End of story. Add in the fact that he's trying to build a foundation a oversee a team in transition, and I don't think he cares if holding a guy out isn't what is best for the actual on-ice product. This is the non-insane "The Process" that we're abiding by.

DeAngelo seemed to respond. When he got back in the lineup he was better than he had ever been, IMO. Either Buch responds (I don't think he's a guy who will respond to this) or he can go bye-bye.

But we still have no idea about the ADA situation. With Buchnevich, I defended him almost as much as ADA, but this is now the 3rd season where we see the same old crap from him. I gave him the benefit of the doubt in his first 2 seasons, but with AV gone, there’s no excuse anymore. I’m sick of excuse after excuse. The same with a Shattenkirk. He was injured? Ok, fine. But then he still played like crap after that, which is when I realized that maybe he isn’t such a great player after all, and that the injury was maybe an excuse. But with ADA, we still don’t know for sure.

I get why Buchnevich is healthy scratched. Very little effort, sleeping half the time, not much physicality, etc. I still think he should play despite all of that, because we have nothing to lose, but at least there’s a reason. My philosophy is to play talented players (unless they do something very dumb or horrific), even when they don’t do everything asked of them. But I guess that’s why I’m not the coach. I don’t know where I was going with this, but I guess I agree with most of what you’re saying.

I think Quinn sees potential in him, but thinks he is not putting the effort. When he returns to the line up, even if he puts up no points, as long as he is playing with effort and determination should be enough to keep him in the line up. Points will then soon follow, as he then gets promoted to one of the lines with more skill....well one would hope he does. Lol.

Buch deserves it. He's lazy.
