[Et le But]

If a Karlsson fanboy wanders in here and sees this, ugh, I don't even want to think about it...

In all seriousness he clearly doesn't suck...but something isn't right with him now.

 

[Habsawce]

Even some Sens fans aren't impressed with EK's play right now. I've watched him a couple times this year and something just seems off with the guy so far. He's probably still not fully recovered from his injury because he looks like a different player than what he was before the injury.

He's playing almost like he's afraid of the puck. His first step is slow, he's not reading the play effectively and is extremely timid. It seems psychological to me.

It might be.. There's something not right with him for sure because he's certainly not the same EK we saw before his injury.

Potvin needs to shut up with the biased analysis.

He just needs to shut up period and get off TV. Just hearing his voice makes my ears bleed.

Seconded. And that's all I have to say about that.

 

[PhysicX]

Potvin? Which Potvin? nvm Denis. Don't care about him.

 

[Et le But]

Shots are currently 52 to 25.

 

[Gustave]

Potvin? Which Potvin?

Denis. RSN's stellar Sens analyst.

Well when you return from a severed Achilles or whatever it was as quick as he did, it's bound to happen. If he didn't return as soon as he did, safe bet he's 100% by now. Stupid on both parts (Karlsson and Sens) to let it go down like that.

I know he doesn't suck, and I know it's not what you meant, but you know how those fanboys react to anything like that.

off topic.. but why the **** did the Tigers took Scherzer out of the game... Damm I hate every Boston sports team.. and both tonight came back from almost impossible scenarios... (baseball game is not over but i have a feeling Sox will win)

Yakupov on being benched - -

“I’m going to play my game,†he said. “I’m not going to change but maybe play better without the puck, or forecheck more, but I love playing with the puck. I really don’t like skating all the time, and forechecking, and hitting somebody every shift. I don’t think it’s my game.â€

Probably the most unsurprising quote of all year.

 

[Et le But]

At least he's open about it.

woah, probably overreacting but I didn't think he'd be so adamant

This trend of printing OTR stuff is getting out of hand.

You had a good feeling - crazy game

 

[PricePkPatch*]

I guess you now understand why Bergevin wants "character".

"Character" is what made them pick Galchenyuk over Yakupov. Timmins knew Chuckie would have a professional attitude. Be open to be shaped and molded into a responsible superstar. Be ready to earn his due.

Yakupov just wants to play the way he ****ing wants.

No longer sure I want Yakupov if he isn't ready to learn to play the proper game.

You are making a lot of assumptions. For example, that skill and size alone is not sufficient to prefer galchenyuk over yakupov.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Still would like to thank the Oilers for taking Yakupov first and leaving us with Galchenyuk.

It's been on record that what Timmins liked the most about Galchenuk was his attitude. Not the skillset or the size.

????? He spoke to a reporter from the Edmonton Journal....usually means it wasn't off the record.

Don't forget the Blue Jackets on Murray

Nail should have ended the quote at " I'm just going to play my game". The end piece wasn't needed
