Pretty easy to be “better” when your fed consistent minutes in the ozone and play ten a night.

Anyone doubting Pettersson honestly doesn’t understand hockey.


Pettersson hasn't had a good year. You can see it because it's obvious. He plays a weaker game than he did last season. He plays like he doesn't want to get hit.

Not to say that he won't be better next season. If he puts in work this off-season and can get to at least a healthy BMI, he will probably be a better player.

Personally, I'd rather Wood replace McCann.

I dont mind Simon up there as long as Simon hustles and plays his 18 ish minutes and goes Ham I dont think Crosby will be upset. Just pass to zucker and try to cycle Simon and we are fine.

Yeah I think Wood-Geno-Rust would be interesting to see the rest of the way. He skates well and protects the puck really well for a decent sized guy.

ZAR should be gone by the summer.

The other issue for me is he's not skating to pressure. A lot of the time, he's crapping his pants at the sight of pressure almost as gratuitously as Schultz.

He’s basically statistically identical to what he did last year.

We’ve just had the pleasure of watching Marino.

Petts is a very solid 4 which is what his contract is worth.

ZAR won't be gone by summer.

Geno and Rust would be gone before ZAR goes, and that's only partial hyperbole.

hes better than Riko but Riko doesn't make 4 mil after this year for the next 5 seasons.

obviously Riko could never be able to play Petterssons role, but Petts needs to be better and stronger on the puck, i like that Riko is confident when he has the puck.

So, the Montreal goal was credited to Gallagher.

Like I thought, someone tipped it . . .

I went on a few hate speech level rants about Simon last season. But I don’t mind him there as long as the line is producing. If Guentzel comes back. I wouldn’t mind seeing a top six of Zucker - Sid - Simon, and Guentzel - Geno - Rust. I see that top six just terrorizing D pairs.
