That’s pretty much it. Kreider is Kreider. Personally, and I think many will agree, I would rather Kreider were more agressive digging in front of the net and more physical in general. But he’s also an excellent special teams guy and good defensively. I think we all appreciate him but just want to see a little bit more aggression or something. Don’t think anyone gives him hate though.
New Jersey's 5v5 play has also been downright awful of late and has been gradually trending down ever since the start of the season.
3 of those 6 points have been on the powerplay……so basically exactly what I said……….he’s still been shit though
Yeah so what. They still count and result in goals and a lot of players in this league get a good deal of their point production on the PP. You talk about him doing nothing and I just pointed out he has put up some points. I don't think he's been that bad but that's just my opinion.
He looks disengaged, he’s gliding, he’s made countless bonehead plays in his own zone….I don’t hate him but in my opinion he’s been lackluster
I think some of that had to do with the injury. He may have come back a little early or so it seems to me. Who knows?
They only have 1.6 mil in available space I think so they may just trade for 1 solid bottom 6 guy which would be fine.
Thanks Romba, now I remember and was too lazy to find out. My bad. What I DO remember was saying to GF that Schneider did that on purpose. NOT necessarily trying to score. 1st time in ages it seems 8that we cashed in on such.
Without my peeking, I can tell you we are AT or very near the top. Heard that stat, not long ago.
Love Kreids, but have to agree. I remember Kreids being super physical until he got castrated by the NHL. Then he almost hurt someone really bad. He certainly has toned down his physicality to near NON EXISTENT, and that isn't kosher. Agree that whatever he is nurturing is holding him back, but he's been passive all year if not loinger. Will we see a more involved and harder to play against Kreider? Surely hope so. We need him to be an intricate part of this team. I want to see that monster Kreider face after scoring much much more.
Thanks, Kodiak. Much appreciated. I don't understand why you can't toggle it more easily on these sites. It's 2023. They know how hard a puck is shot by placing chips in it.
Absolutely. And don't think the cringe worthy "I come in peace.." or other bullshit makes it any better or even worse kiss opposing teams' fans' ass. Just go the main boards and be your usual toxic self. It works for me.
prior to the last 3 or 4 games i think we were 0 for 25 lol
Some practice time for Tarasenko and Mikkola is worth the wait, especially for T on PP2.
Team is rolling but west Canada trips are our kryptonite
I love to lurk but I would never post or even like comments on another teams board. It’s a terrible look.
I’ve been banging the Aho is overrated drum for a long while. Zib, while he hasn’t been at his best test this season, is the better player AINEC
Again, some people can look beyond the basic wins and losses , 99% of people on this board hate AV and think he’s a terrible coach and he took us to the SCF, ECF and Presidents trophy in his first 2 seasons and that with less talent than GG has to work with. Being a top 10 team isn’t good enough either this roster, we should be even better. GG is not getting the most out or his group, and that’s on top of his abysmal lineup decisions. And I don’t trust him going into the playoffs, we saw he he completely lost the plot in the ECF last year.
You are overestimating this roster, especially last year. It was good but not Stanley cup winner good. Another coach would have never won the cup with that same roster, sorry. Panarin sucked, Copp was hurt, Goodrow was hurt, and they were exhausted. This year there have still been holes in this roster. They have desperately needed a top 6 RW and an upgrade at 3LD and they finally got them at the deadline. They have had issues all year with depth in the bottom 6 and I could see Drury making another move or two to address that. So with a good but imperfect roster for much of the year the team is on pace for 108 points and is on a 20-4-3 roll and are tied for 6th in the league in points. You are kidding yourself if you think the record would be significantly better with a different coach.
