Unfortunately everyone else lost too.

At least STL won so they’re up by 3 points on us.

And Florida lost

Great to see Gurianov playing well. Only two games but still a positive.

At least Edmundson survived the game...

I have watched two games with Gurianov as a Hab and I am trying to figure out why he didn't pan out in Dallas.
Size, skating, shot. Seems to have a clue defensively and he has a first rounder pedigree.
I hope it continues because we need a John LeClair type of trade win!

Here we have it, MSL fixed Gurianov.

Good game thread guys. Very entertaining in the morning!

 

[Rob Sense]

Russian hockey culture tends to be more forgiving of off-hand wingers and shooting in stride is often encouraged because it is an effective and deceptive shot.

Then he should play both wings....he could replace Hoffman on his own line!

Morning gents, apparently Barron left in the 1st and never returned, anybody saw what happened? Nothing too serious I hope....

Barely. MSL really managed his icetime

When was the last time we had a player who could shoot like that coming down the wing? Caufield is the only one I can think of over the past 10 years. Kovalev comes to mind.

I'm still shook by the fact I'm as old as OldCraig. What a night

AK46 too... I guess Camalleri could do it...

But the man that really comes to my mind, even though it's been a while, is Richer. His howitzer was nice.

I'm guessing his game doesn't lend itself to teams style that don't let him roam free 9nnthe wing. If he's constantly stopping and starting, he can't gather speed. Also, I heard Dallas plays a dump and chase style. Whereas he likes to carry the puck in and attack off the counter attack, which I see us doing.

He may have some deficiencies like not being good on the cycle, because he's so lanky. I haven't seen enough yet to know.

How did Edmundson look last night?

The game was on too late for this Maritimer on a weeknight.

I watched only the first two periods, his first couple shifts were a bit rough however after that he was pretty steady and he got more physical as the game went on.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Which one you did this lmao

When I was young(er) we just called it shooting off the wrong foot and it was a Canadian thing.
