tony obviously loves to be the wise guy. thats his comfort zone.

his use of twitter to bust on the analytics folks is made sweeter by the reactions he gets. this in turn makes tony bust chops even more.

dont think for a second that these guys dont read stuff online and certainly on SM. i wouldnt be surprised if they dont lurk on this site for laughs. i think they do.

loved his tweet after he signed. "nyr fans, we good now" ? lol

this kinda stuff by tony makes me like his gusto even more. dudes a smartass and i love it.

You rather he use Twitter as an outlet or an actual physical hockey venue to vent?

I agree on everything except Trouba. He is a positive surprise to me. I think he is strong mentally and a leader on the ice. His physical game. One of my favorites on this team. They get the hard minutes and our team have been destroyed during those for a long time.

*Howden should stay on the wing. LW. He is by far playing his best hockey there. He and Lemieux can together replace Kreider.

*I am far from the biggest Strome supporter. But he is playing better and better.

I still have my reservations, but..

Howden and Lemieux replacing Kreider? Hahahaha

Is it really 4 years? Buchnevich has never played this well as an all-around player until late this year under Quinn. And besides, if he can maintain these types of impacts while scoring 45-55 points, he'll still be better than he was under AV when he was scoring 40-45 points. I still see similar offensive outputs with improved on-ice impacts as a positive development for him. I don't think he's getting enough credit for just how good he's been defensively lately. We never used to praise Buch for making good defensive plays.

It's been 4 years.

I guess management will have to decide what they want to pay for a 45 point player.
 
If by chance the Carolina/Toronto one-two punch continues into a Western Canada run, we can look back on the offsides review to keep the Canes game 2-1. Massive turning point. GWG-worthy for Dineen...

This one is on Dave Quinn in my book. Buch was playing just fine and then DQ starts attacking him for no reason.

It's AV's fault.

It's DQ's fault.

When does a player become responsible for himself?

The point that I was trying to make is that I don't think lumping Buch's entire NHL career together is a good way to look at the progress he's made. Yes, he's a 45 point player, but he's been much improved on both sides of the puck. He's playing much more like a guy that's a 55-65 point player, and that's someone I'm more than willing to buy on moving forward. I still wish we got him for more than 2 years.

I dont think Buch will touch 50pts without PP1 time. That's not happening on this team.

edit- I mean on a consistent basis. He's been very good on the forecheck but is flubbing a lot of opportunities.

hes a lefty. he should have a PP2 spot. 50 points should not be out of the question.

thats right where he should be.

quinn knows this too. and i agree, he will need PP time to score.

then again, isnt that true for all offensive players ?
 
Whatever has gotten into Kreider the past 3 weeks...we need to bottle it cause this run of his is about as good as he's ever been in his career here from what I've seen of him. This Kreider will no doubt net us a #1 pick and a Lemieux type caliber player.

We just have to hope and pray that at the deadline he's playing like this cause I'd bet there at least half dozen teams who'd give up whatever is necessary to get him for their playoff runs as he'd be a great addition to any of those clubs for sure.

Thing is, this current Kreider is someone I'd want to keep but we all know we aren't going to pay him what he wants. I may be on an island here as alot of peeps in here are always bitching and moaning about him but I for one am going to miss him when he leaves as despite his inconsistency and his maddeningly frustrating tendency to not show up at times , his combination of speed, power, physicality and skill set is quite rare and it will be missed no question.

Oh well...I'm prepared for his departure but in the meantime while Kreider is still here, I am ecstatic that at the very least he's showing some damn pride lately and playing as good as I've ever seen him...hopefully he keeps it up!!...:nod:

I noticed it too and couldn't help but think how similar this is to the Zucc situation last year. Personally, I'm hoping this "spurt" continues until the TDL passes because I don't see this surge continuing to the end of the season.
