thankfully thats at least 6 or 7 down in the tiebreakersHappy for the win, but they exploited a team missing two elite forwards, with their backup whiffing on a couple of softies.
Cozens is just a hockey dumbass. It sucks but not completely unfixable. Not a center thoI’m more concerned about Cozens now than I was all last year when I was concerned about Cozens the whole year. Quinn and Kulich getting going around him is nice…but man…they’re doing it around him. We know he needs his wingers to drive the line…but he’s not even going with them right now. His play around the net is…the worst I’ve ever seen? Literally? He needs to move to wing…get off the pp…and, honestly, be on the third line when Peterka gets back. No I don’t like Kulich at center given his level of experience in this league. Yes I would do it to avoid watching Cozens cast anchor on that line for one more shift.
I don’t even know how to explain Owen Power as a player to a casual watcher. He had 0’s all across the stat sheet but he is so good.
The way he makes plays and molds the opponent into breaking down exactly how he wants them in order to open up the ice for his teammates, or to get the puck out, or to keep a play alive. It’s so impressive.
He’s always had good underlying numbers but he’s taken a quantum leap to the eye test this year. He looks incredible.
Thachook was sick.awwww. Sniffles. Little cheap cheaty child simp. If you intimidate them thachucks they fold and nobody knows that more than ruff and Vegas.
Stop reading chad. We had as many out or playing hurt and our backup goaltender as well.Happy for the win, but they exploited a team missing two elite forwards, with their backup whiffing on a couple of softies.
Chad?we played our backup , We were down jj, kubel lafferty , benson and dahlin not right and krebs anchoring the first line. Don’t minimize the last two nights please.Happy for the win, but they exploited a team missing two elite forwards, with their backup whiffing on a couple of softies.
I know this won't come as a surprise to the old-guard here. I've been harping on Cozens before and even during his best year because he just doesn't make a lot of good plays around the ice. He's nearly always a step or two behind the play in both ends. Relying on him for 2C minutes in today's NHL is basically suicide for playoff chances IMO. I truly think it's time to try something else and hopefully Lindy is seeing it. When he talked about that line last night, he specifically mentioned Quinn and Kulich were making plays, not Cozens.I’m more concerned about Cozens now than I was all last year when I was concerned about Cozens the whole year.

Get the victory, everyone go party and get their ashes hauled.
Ruff after the game -
Tage saying that Krebs works his nuts off was worth a chuckle.
He’s young , really young growing up in small town. and got pummeled. He’ll be fine. I bet adams was right to sign him although no athlete should be paid more than the rest of usI know this won't come as a surprise to the old-guard here.

He'll never be worth this contract, so they have a couple options. Try to trade him to a team willing to take a risk, buy him out at the lower rate (doubtful) or put him at wing. Perhaps there, he can shine and eventually take over Tuch's role. He played wing here early on and I remember being impressed. It might've been new, shiny car syndrome, but if that and his World Championships are any indication, he truly might find his way when he's not relied upon to be the brains of his line.
One other issue with him is that he seems to shrink under the pressure. Look at him these last few games. He's flubbing nearly everything coming his way and simply can't be relied upon as one of your main scorers. All that said, he's developed into a strong PK'er, decent at draws and has some grit. But a lot of that is all for naught if he's being paid $7M and shoots at 5%. My preference would be to find a change of scenery trade if you can somehow get another Center in the deal, but doubtful that something like that is sitting out there. Just hoping Ruff can figure this out sooner rather than later and adjust.
Hey couldn’t agree more . Take yr like down on combs goal song abuse. I added to it. Apologies. I shouldn’t have posted that , peace. If not I’ll delete.Only caught bits and pieces live, then the highlights. Well-deserved and desperately needed W - I was getting close to exiting some blackpilled group chats. Long season, lotta hockey, etc.
Very happy to see Greenway playing the impactful style many of us could see in him.

The Jordan Greenway: not so bucolic and charming to the opponents he's grinding into dust.
eh, he had a couple of lucky breaks go his way. (it';s about time we caught some breaks.)If Levi doesn't steal the starting job they may just split the games 50/50 this year. He clearly looks ready now. It'll be interesting to see who plays on Wednesday. My guess is they go back to UPL and unless a guy gets a shutout, each guy just gets every other game.
eyes on the prize.
