to take a bad penalty that was really lucky to be evened out and in most cases wouldn't be?There’s a reason for Kostin to be in.
What did you learn?
Agreed but they're largely young and inexperienced. They need time to gel. I just want the effort there from period to period. I still think them being a bad team is going to mean a lot of inconsistency with defense and offense but they shouldn't be out of most games as they had been last year.better start to this game than last game. feels like they're playing to a system but they're bad.
Some penalties need to be taken. I’ve been there many times. Vatrano won’t be doing that anymore.to take a bad penalty that was really lucky to be evened out and in most cases wouldn't be?
Gushchin’s best attribute is his offensive ability. With the exception of his extremely small sample size in the NHL, where he’s still scoring at a decent pace, he’s easily outsourced Kostin. In the AHL in 100 fewer games Gushchin has more points than Kostin. Kostin is on his 4th team and is still struggling to establish himself as an NHL regular and lacks the track record at lower levels to warrant the belief that he has more offensive ability than someone who has excelled everywhere he’s played. The Gushchin obsession is overstated by Hodge, he’s taking people’s optimism for a player and weaponizing it for engagement. He’s as much a part of it as anyone who likes Gushchin because he never misses an opportunity to bemoan their positive feelings. You can think Gushchin is not good enough to make it due to his known deficiencies like size, and leave it at that without inflating a severely flawed player’s offensive ability and stating it is equal or better than Gushchin’s.
Doing okay. Not getting their shit kicked in at least. Smith having himself a pretty alright game. Seeing him learn defensive assignments is a pretty encouraging thing at leastI still don't have TV , how they doing
Still worth it, at least this seasonto take a bad penalty that was really lucky to be evened out and in most cases wouldn't be?
Zetts scored but offsides. Kostin punched Vatrano who flopped. Vanacek is doing well.I still don't have TV , how they doing
The sharks were dead last last season everyone above them is a powerhouseDuckies and Blues aren't exactly powerhouse teams, but it is exponentially more entertaining than less year.
Lol @ Kostin.
fowler on the ducks will never not be perfectWalman is having a great game so far. Might be my favorite d-man this year.
I can't believe Fowler has been in the league for 15 years. He still feels like a newbie. It's kind of like Pavelski in a way.
