It's a weird league and there are weird things that happen in trades sometimes, but I don't care if no one wants him you can buyout him. I'd rather take a vet like Cole/Dumoulin/Martinez on the third pair or give Johnson/Novikov a chance than look at Samuelsson.
…again.
We have a captain and you can't take C away from Dahlin when you've already given it to him, you should have thought about it earlier.
Maybe I am old fashion I guess where the captain is the one standing up for the players or at least instilling this in the team. Probably its changed in the last 20 years where the captain is just the best player on the team
Again, I don't know, but he wasn't on the ice. He responded to Noesen in the first period when he took an elbow to the head and he threw Noesen to the ice. Ruff says they shouldn't have responded to that hit on Thompson because of the f***ing game we won. Even Rob Ray said that for some reason. But whoever was on the ice should have done it. Well, I don't agree that he was given a C just because of the game. But we don't have any vet with a long-term contract to give C to, Dahlin is essentially our vet, considering he's been on the team for 6-7 years already.
A fourth liner isn't enough, you need a few of those guys, and Dahlin actually responded in the first period and sat for two minutes. The problem is Sammy is a coward and Power is afraid of his own shadow. And Ruff, with all that talk about winning... you can respond and still win the game.
