Game 51: WILD @ HABS January 30, 2025 – 7:00PM ET. TSN2, RDS

  • 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.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Laine - Dach - Newhook is not the line tbh. Laine can't drive his line and Dach is an offensive blackhole, Newhook is good but he would need to be "the dude" on that line which is a bit too much to ask imo. Put Laine in line with Suzuki before everyone, including MTL fans will start sayin Laine sucks because he can't score 5v5.
Newhook won’t be there next year. Demidov is coming. Roy (hopefully) is coming, Laine will be healthy…

We have so much talent on the way.
 
I was just going to say the exact same thing WTF is wrong with this team?They could go back to tank mode
Don't think they will go back in tank mode. They are just in a bad sequence. From december 15th to january 15th they were 1st in the NHL with a 10-2-1 record and a P% of 808. No other team did better in that sequence. That was not sustainable. They were heading head first in a bad sequence.
 
Hutson, Slaf and Dobes, the only positive tonight.
Everything else sucks!
 
I never said it was two first, I used the word almost.

Newhook was not that good, the vast majority of the Avs board was happy after that trade.
Good chance that trade won’t work out. He was good last year but he’s been so disappointing this season. Part of that is the circumstances but he’s had no finish.

That’s alright though. Some players aren’t going to pan out. He’s better suited as a third line offensive player. Maybe he finds his game but if not it’s not the end of the world.

I’m still good with those kinds of trades. Not all will work out but that’s fine.
