Status of Players and Team

[DaveONE]

Hey everyone,

long time lurker.. 72nd poster? (all though I don't remember posting nearly that many times)

I was hoping someone would be so kind enough to give me a brief recap on how the team and players have been performing this season so far, or perhaps direct me to an article detailing how our season has gone.. unfortunately, I haven't been able to keep up with all the news, reports, and injuries like I have been for the last 10+ years due to extenuating personal circumstances, but at least I was able to watch the entire playoff run and stanley cup win after all those years of pain and suffering a general consensus on all the coaches and players from well to poor would suffice.

I know I'm making a cardinal sin by not using the search function and reading past threads.. unfortunately, I don't have the time to spend like I used to look into it

anyway, any information would be much appreciated!

thanks

also I suppose this is my coming out party on the forums (so to speak) so nice to meet you all and hopefully I can offer some constructive criticism!

Team started bad and the D was bad. Injuries galore and you could tell guys like Rick didn't do jack **** but fish and hunt all ****ing off season. Quick wasn't Quick.

Greene got sick of carrying the team physically and with his shot blocks so he decided to have back surgery and take the season off.

Mitchie is all sorts of ****ed up. Had off season knee surgery, played like one game?, and is probably out for the year too. So 2/3 of our defensive dman are ****ed. Sounds fun, right?

AMart dun got hurt too. At some point in there, Dean freed Sexyonov and he's got a 3 game point streak playing for those guys we beat for the Cup. We traded him for the Devils 5th, then traded that 5th to get Ellerby, who's tall and ****. He plays first pairing sometimes, but he's a 3rd pairing guy. So clearly our defense is just amazing right now. I can feel my eyes getting stuck from rolling so much as i post this.

Jeff Carter is sex. ****ing money. Best King so far this year. Clifford started off amazing, was destroying people, and posting points. Cooled off a bit but still doing fine. Richards sucked ass at first but is coming around now. Kopi too was injured and is just now getting over that knee injury he got in Sweden. Because of that, Brown's been hot as of late.

There's a revolving door on the LW slot next to Rick and Carts. I hear it's your turn to take that role next. Have fun.

Penner sucks. Stoll is horawful. Lewis has been good the past few games. Fras sucked and warmed the press box for a bit but is back in now. Dwight King has been bad all year. So that sucks. Gagne too. Healthy scratch for like 5 in a row now.

Jordan Nolan is the most perfect thing in the world for a 4th liner. Kid is, in my eyes, the perfect 4th liner. I want to clone him twice so we have a 4th line of just him.

Doughty is ****ing amazing. No Norris level points but SO solid defensively, big hits, and just playing smart. Had turnover issues but they're getting fixed. Scuds is probably the only reason our defense isn't absolute ****. He's been quietly great in an increased roll. Whiskey has been surprisingly good too, blocking shots and PKing pretty well. Muzzin has his ups and downs but he's still young. Kid's got a ****ing shot though.

Bernier is amazing. Been good in every game he's been in and truly deserves more ice time. Seems to be earning Sutts trust. Quick hasn't been beast mode Quick but we're winning anyways lately so its fine. Still been good.

PP has been better this year but not having a training camp ****ed us over because to start the year it was awful. Kompon being gone is almost as good as the Cup. Sutter shuffles lines as much as Murray did so that's always fun. Thing is, Sutts lines work? Foreign concept. Not used to patch job looking lines doing something effective. Payne has helped the PP. Much better movement lately.

4 game win streak. If we lose, you're banned.

wow, that was quick.. I couldn't of asked for a better recap. it had all the elements of drama and comedy. you have a gift, my friend. sounds similar to last season except for the injuries, and also quick not being up to form.. he basically carried us to the win considering we could barely score and still seems to be the same, but I am encouraged he will return to his conn smythe performance.. so that means we're right on track to win the cup again? we're built for the playoffs. as long as we get in.. anything can happen.. we all witnessed that thanks so much for all that information, it was perfect!

oh and I'll take full responsibility if I jinx us right now.
