Can't f***ing wait for the first preseason game on Monday!

FINALLY GONNA SEE KRAVTSOV IN ACTION

Can't f***ing wait for the first preseason game on Monday!

Of course I'll be at the Giants' game. Have to DVR it.

A lot of things can factor into these decisions. Hell, Gallant may have talked with Laf, Chytil and Kakko and they all preferred to stay together for the time. I'm pretty sure they know they played well in the playoffs.

AV didn't get this much shit after his Stanley Cup and ECF runs. I wonder why people don't like Gallant so much.

Don't wonder.

Some fans hate every coach because they can't believe their team doesn't have the greatest players.

That tooth was slowing him down.

Missing tooth Kakko

Slapped it hard that his tooth flew out

 

[will1066]

Took a tooth out, put it under his pillow, wished for a girlfriend.

More important than more ice time.

Snowblind should be missing a tooth also.

Trouba's media day photoshoot

So awkward. Next, we'll see the whole team do a jeans ad.

That would be funny as hell if Kreider, Zib, Panarin and Trouba re-did that commercial. Panarin could get his hair curled like Duguay's.

 

[Cmox]

This is very smart. Who knows how many he has?

KAM named a honorable mention 22-23 breakout player on NHLN

Laf #2 on their list, behind Seth Jarvis.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

If Kakko really did learn how to shoot, it feels like a "uh-oh Happy learned how to putt" moment. Game-changer.

LOL You eat pieces of shit for breakfast??

He'll be Dental Cap-ko, once he gets that fixed

I think it's just the tension of winning vs getting the kids enough responsibility so they can grow and develop. It hasn't helped that a bunch of prospects have asked out in the last few years (and really none of that has anything to do with Gallant) but there's just an impression that's been going on since we signed Trouba, Kreider and Panarin that the team gives too much to the vets and not enough to the kids. That impression may have some validity, but not to the extent it's argued. I think Gallant seems to be pretty upfront with his players. And they seem to like him -- even the kids.

Exactly, well said. The AV teams weren’t in the same position.

I wouldn't put Seth Jarvis down for anything this season after Trouba hit him into the shadow realm. Who knows how he'll look?

Needs a gold tooth.

 

[Chytilmania]

The three Captains, Tinordi, Trouba and Jones, leading the way.

How is he upfront? He has no consistency.

Laf, one of the team's top 5v5 scorers earned the opportunity to start in the top 6 and on PP1. Gets denied.

Blais was injured all season, is 26 and has less career goals than Laf scored last year. He gets thrown on line 1.

Kakko, learned and turned himself into one of the league's best defensive wingers. Opening on line 2 and gets he denied.

Kravtsov ditched the team and left the country because he didn't want to earn a spot and play in Hartford for a short amount of time. He's rewarded with top 6 placement instantly.

Where is the accountability, merit, consistency?

I mentioned this in the other thread, the team ran out of gas in the playoffs, why aren't they focusing on conditioning right now instead of scrimmages?
