Panarin was even more... interesting

 

[Whoot Whoot]

is bread still dtd?

 

[bernmeister]

I know I’m in the minority, but I’d move Panarin off this team in a heartbeat and replace him with Othmann. Panarin tends to disappear in the playoffs when the game tightens up. With no time and space, it’s like the ice swallows him up—you’d practically need to call the cops to track him down.

Sounds like most of the top 6 in the playoffs.

Trocheck, Lafreniere and Kreider were easily our 3 best forwards in the playoffs last year.

Tro and Laf yes. Kreider was pretty MIA aside from that one monster game in vs the Canes.

NO MOVEMENT CLAUSE mfs!!!!

ffs

3rd best forward in the playoffs was probably the infamous Barclay Goodrow given expectations going in

There's just something wrong with a hockey player having perfect teeth.

IDK how people can play a game where half the player stats look like they were created by a computer random number generator only programmed to spit out multiples of 5.

No flavor at all. Friggin Rick Nash had higher skating speed than Kreider for years. It's more a game of chess or halo than a sports simulation

 

[effen]

Switch up the lines for real, and start playing with some directness and anger.

This is the only thing that matters and if they didn't do it last year they're not doing it with an extra year of wear on their bodies.

The top guys just don't have that dog in them.

It'll be a good season but this is not a serious team for extended periods when push comes to shove. Enjoy the RS.

sure and 3,4 and 7th highest forward cap hits.

There’s a valid point that your best players should be your best players in the playoffs.

Mcdavid damn near carried Edmonton on his back. Mackinnon is a monster in the playoffs. Barkov was fantastic.

Mika disappeared. Panarin scores but soft goals and rarely clutch.

Whose expecting Mika to be a beast in the playoffs. Everyone knows by now he's an overpaid PP specialist who's bad defensively.

Would be much more concerned with Fox's play injury or not. Some ppl here have called him the best defencemen in the NHL, his playoffs were laughable.

Except when we extended him, that’s not what he was. He was good at both 5v5 and was a plus defender (not Bergeron, but trusted to keep matchups even at worst)

And here we go with the Fox concern.
Fox is a smaller, slower defenseman who relies on hockey iq to be one of the best offensive and defensive players at his position.
when he suddenly becomes half a step slower or more, none of that works.
I’ll be concerned with Fox when he has a bad game healthy.

Man I hope he can string a decent game together.

He’s not bad defensively, he’s bad offensively lol
