Well, I'm glad the top line is looking like actually offensive threats! One more game where they play without expectations!

Kristo is 23. Lindberg is 21 with pro experience. They should be expected to dominate at this level.

 

[PIM]

Haha, not sure if I understand what the Pooh Crew has to do with this.. Am I wrong?

Eeyore is always mopey.

If two prospects from his favorite team had strong performances, he would find a reason to be morose about it.

why criticize good work? Im excited to see what both of these kids can do in camp. If Lindberg cracks the lineup who the heck hits the wing? BR, Stepan, Brassard,Moore.............Boyle is likely already a winger

Ohh gotcha. I'm not morose. I'm glad they're both performing well. I just don't think beating on a bunch of 18 year olds makes them even close to NHL ready... I like to temper expectations, because well I'm a Rangers fan and I know better.

And no one said it did.

But performing well at any level sure beats performing poorly.

Huh? You're a confrontational one. I responded to a post that said they looked like offensive threats. They're playing below their level, so there's really nothing signifying that they're surefire offensive threats against proper competition.

It should be a given that they're producing during this tournament. These are 2 of our best call up options on the NHL team if Cally and Hags are still sidelined to start the season. If they couldn't produce against 18 year olds, that would be a big talking point. The fact that they are isn't really a sign that they're actually offensive threats. I was just trying to infuse some perspective.

Happy to hear some of our boys are doing well in the tournament. Would be even happier if I could see it with my own eyes

Let's see what Kristo and Lindberg can do at camp. I hope they turn some heads and push some guys out. Let's get younger.

Still good to see. A lot of players are expected to do many thing but do not do those thingsz

I agree with you and user Barbara Underhill, we should try to push Nash out.

Oh absolutely, but I'd sort of say it's more "fine" to see. If Nieves was in this tournament and he was putting up numbers, that would be good to see. You know what I mean?

So is there any performance that you would consider good? Or is it just bad or neutral?

Does anyone have Dubinsky's stats from his Traverse City tourney, btw?

Oh I'm not saying there's anything wrong or bad with the top line's performance. I don't know why you want to argue with me so badly, lol. They're doing as I'd expect them to do given the circumstances. There's nothing to celebrate, or even talk about. It's just what should be happening.

 

[Green Blob*]

Well after 2 games (i know, i know, its just 2 games), Lindberg is 1st among all players in goals (4), and tied in 1st in points with 4. Kristo and 3 other players are tied with him with 4 points. Though its debatable that Kristo also got another assist today that wasn't given to him so he might be first in points with 5.

Team stinks, but at least the players we want to play well are playing well.

This is essentially what matters.

You're the one being argumentative. Nobody said anything correlating their success at Traverse City to them being superstar NHL players. It was pointed out that Lindberg and Kristo have performed well through two games. Which they have. That's it.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

This is probably the weakest team we've sent to Traverse IMO, but that's not a shot at the players really quite a few of them are young and most of our better prospects aren't eligible or are in college and can't go.

No depth. Not a lot of utilizable big bodies either.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

i wonder if Graves and Leroux will get signed to AHL deals..



both players are only 20 years old and maybe it could be a diamond in the rough a few years down the road.. Orr was signed by Bruins as a younger player before claimed by Rangers.

So calling them offensive threats was meant to be interpreted as "offensive threats against scrubs?" I wasn't trying to argue, I was trying to point out that expectations need to be tempered and the circumstances need to be taken into account.

You realize that Lindberg and Kristo aren't Nieves, right? They're not going to be playing NCAA for the next 3-4 years, these guys are on the shortlist of NHL callups. It would be a complete travesty if they weren't performing. Nothing about them producing against kids makes them offensive threats in situations that actually matter, as likely NHL callups.

These guys producing against kids and scrubs and celebrating it, is like celebrating that the sky is blue. This isn't contentious at all and I'm honestly confused by the fact that I have to explain it.

Jesus Christ dude. I'll repeat. All anyone said was that they have been producing in these games. Nobody said, "wow, these two games sure have shown that Lindberg and Kristo are going to be superstars." All that was said was that they have performed well in these games. Regardless of whether it was against the 1985 Oilers or the Charlestown Chiefs, it happened. Nobody is drawing conclusions from it.

England faced Moldova today in World Cup Qualifying and not winning would have been laughably pathetic. Does that mean the fans sat there unresponsive after every England goal? No, they still stood up and clapped and cheered regardless of the fact that it was "supposed" to happen. The idea that we have to be emotionless drones is ****ing stupid. We can be mildly happy that these guys are playing well in these games regardless of their long-term implications.

Why so argumentative?

Hagelin had a disappointing Traverse City but was in the NHL months later.

 

[PIM]

Alright, alright, fair enough. Sorry guys. Can we still be friends?
