I AM THE ONE WHO HARDBALLS RFA'S

Does anyone have a rundown of the interview? I put on Field of Dreams during intermission...

Nash has had two good moments where he created something out of nothing all by himself.

Richards has had a ton of bad giveaways.

Kreider has been totally invisible.

I guess invisible is better than noticeably bad, but Kreider still doesn't look ready to me. I hate disengaged players, I'd rather try Kristo/Fast on that line.

Stepan needs to come back. Stepan with nash and kreider is a good line

Not sure how someone with working eyes could make this assessment. He's been all over the place.

Richards haters and casual Richards meh-ers.

He's been doing things and has been below average, why?

He's getting rubbed off the puck, not getting through, not breaking through, not making proper passes etc. why?

There's zero support. Zero. What is a center to do when his RW and LW aren't in sight? coast to coast? Drop passing or holding onto the puck are his options. Neither are good options.
 
Not that impressed with the Richards line. It's not playing like a top line--not generating enough scoring chances and got burned in the first period for a goal. I don't think it's a good combination anyway. Boyle--Hrivik and Fast so far the best line.

Defense--Del Zotto (and Nash) out of position on the first goal. Bickel and Falk ****ed up for the second. Staal, Stralman and Moore look good. Del Zotto didn't play much in the 2nd.

I've seen him throw a hit once, that is about it. All over the place is a gross overstatement.

Watch a little closer, or put some glasses on because you're missing it. He's been the best looking player on that line.

Richards missed kreider and nash multiple times right by the net for bigtime scoring chances and he muffed the passes
 
Haven't noticed Kreider that much either. Once again, I think he needs to be a bit more engaged and involved.
 
In a future preaseason game I'd like to see Brass with Nash and Kreider. Richards with Pouliot and Zucc. Brass and Nash didn't really work in CBJ, but Brass seems like a different player than he was back then.

In reality? The top line should/could be Kreider - Stepan - Nash

Where you at, Derek?

You think he watches these preseason games?

Just in the first--he botched a short pass to Kreider who was getting a good head of steam going and shortly thereafter tried to hit Nash with a long pass that didn't have enough zip on it and got picked off. Both these guys are way faster than him. Don't see this as a good combination.

No he isn't He's the worst player on that line because he's done nothing. Richards is at least doing things, holding onto the puck trying to create things. Nash has been acceptable considering that entire line is useless.

Blueblooded does have glasses on, we went shopping together last weekend.

Below par skating, bad judgement passes. Regardless of linemates. Same story as last year. Sorry, I am not a hater but see that he still has the same signs of demise that is saddening to see. I hope he comes back. We really need a higher level from Beaver
