you saw how Edmonton's scouting was with all those 1st overall picks, so I mean, yeah they can definitely f*** up that many times

Oh, ye of little faith.

 

[tomobson]

Must win.

 

[chaz4hockey]

With Freddie and Kooch still out, break for Rangers to face Rantaa.

 

[duhmetreE]

Laffy Chytil Vesey were bland.

I don't know why he refuses to give Gauthier an extended look in the top9

Still have no clue what Blais does to warrant his spot over Brodz

Bunch of bull. Most of the number 1 picks the past few years are doing pretty well right now. Chytil, Kakko, Miller, Scheider have all been good. Kravs has been decent and I still think Laf will be fine as well.

I have been saying the same about Gauthier for weeks.Laf, Chytil,Gauthier is a very intriguing line

 

[Leonardo87]

Decided to look up the giveaway metrics before and since Dec 5th (When Gallant changed things up against the Blues which kickstarted the winning streak):

GvA/60 over 2.00 before Dec 5th
Carpenter: 3.57
Schneider: 3.07
Fox: 2.73
Hájek: 2.64
Blais: 2.63
Panarin: 2.47
Trocheck: 2.47
Miller: 2.20
Jones: 2.16
Zibanejad: 2.16
Kravtsov: 2.06

GvA/60 over 2.00 since Dec 5th
Panarin: 4.33 (+1.86)
Zibanejad: 2.95 (+0.79)
Trocheck: 2.56 (+0.09)
Lafrenière: 2.39 (+1.65)
Vesey: 2.03 (+0.93)

The Breadman likes to Giveth rather than Taketh.

They played Laf - Chytil -Gauth a lot last season and it was dead in the water, no creativity (even if they had good possession metrics). Maybe the new and improved Gauthier makes things better, hard to know without trying, but Fil needs someone to give him the puck with speed and space to use or he starts skating the puck into the oppo D a lot.

Andersen is hurt for Carolina again? Why is this team always the darling of the league when they've accomplished nothing in the playoffs and have a new goalie carousel every year?

What abouttism at its best

Edm so yeah

No. I actually watch the games. All four of those guys I mentioned are becoming important parts of the team.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Would like a win.

Would also like to see Kakko get another point or two and stay on that top line.

Would really like to see Laf pop one in and play well too

The board when Ben Harpur steps out with Schneider:

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Would like a win.

I had a dream that Laf went 1 + 1

This heel turn was unexpected.

Forwards:

Teravainen - Aho - Jarvis

Svechnikov - Stastny - Necas

Martinook - Staal - Fast

Noesen - Kotkaniemi - Stepan



Defense:

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

de Haan - Chatfield

Last 4 years…actually have won a round every year:
19: Conference finals, lost to Boston
20: Second round, lost to Boston,
21: Second round lost to SC champ Tampa
22: Second round loss to rangers (without their top goaltender)

Team is maturing….I wouldn’t underestimate their playoff potential this year

Do these numbers mean that before Dec 5th, Hajek was better than Fox in this stat?

You need to have the puck in the first place in order to turn it over. It's not uncommon to see some of the best players in the league lead in the turnover stat. The fact that Carpenter was #1 on the list, despite rarely having the puck on his stick, is legitimately insane.

 

[ElLeetch]

Stepan hat-trick incoming

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Time to piss on our home record once again, I guess. I don't feel good about this one and can't even watch, so... *shrug*

Their top goaltender is a playoff choker as well. Andersen would not have made a lick of difference in the series against us because they couldn't score a goal when the Rangers had the matchup advantage. They are a regular season powerhouse due to play style but I dont love their chances when they dont have the top end talent to match teams like Boston, Tampa and yes the Rangers

Me too! We are ALL awaiting the day when our "secondary scoring" becomes known as our "Primary, secondary scorers". I long for the day (those years). Good times a comin'!
