Who knows what it might all bring. Scary. Now more complications before some needed focus on next season's roster.
-
Here here! I was sad to see Gudbranson go. He dished things out, and he was a fine scrapper. Maybe he had more to do with Markstrom's shutouts than has been realized. I have heard Sarich talk like that too. Fine analyst in my opinion. I am growing sick of Kelly Rhudey's color content. He's becoming a wussy. I suppose he likes the IIHF 'no screening the goalie' rule. BOGUS!! Stetcher isn't that big but does he ever play big. Nice addition to my team.

I forgot to comment on the inability of the players to even tie up a stick in front of the net. conundrumed, you were seeing all the things I was seeing. Stupid hockey, lacking the basic fundamentals we all learned about the game. I say bring center ice and the neutral zone back. There is more to hockey than speed. Next we'll see the goalies using tennis rackets.

Go with Vladar and Wolfe, period.

My thoughts too. There's got to be a way (I know there is) for the D to knock a guy in front of the net without bloody cross checking him. That's what I said too about 'good penalties'. Has everyone lost that part of their hockey vocabulary and intellect? This infactuation with scoring while ignoring good defense is flippin stupid. That kind of hockey, and not jyst the flames but all around the league, is not worth the millions the players are being paid. I can watch similar foolishness at the recreational level or at a game of shinny. I don't like what I'm seeing in 'today's game'.

Wish to give you a 👍Like

Good summary. Good thing this isn't your positivity thread. Good things can happen when you build on the good things. I gotta at least double your Markstrom percentage. I saw those things too: -No finishing confidence -No creativity -Slow processing the puck -Hot potatoe attitude in the defencive zone -Pinball passing -not enough crease traffic -poor goalie puck play -easy predictabilty -no swagger (like that french coach said) -stupid giveaways -not enough diving when beat on breakaways -not enough 'good' penalties to stop goals -too many bench minors -not enough fights😃

Same thing here. We cheer for Winnipeg so there is a reason to watch. The coilers are the league's focus because of chimp mcdavid. Already lived through edmontonitis once 35 years ago; no bite this time. Kinda don't give a bean who wins after that. Battle of Alberta my acetone. I mean that positively. The way the game is heading, it is going to lose solid longtime fans.
-
Exactly😃
-
I guess this is where alot of us branch off to follow different teams in the playoffs. We are going to pull for Winnipeg because they too play an old fashioned hard nosed game. If they are out, I am going to get the camper on the road. I definitely am not going to watch Edmonton (or that boy girl who stiffled Bud Light's beer sales. There is a fish who wants to be in my frying pan😃

Wolf, Woof, the puck has to stay outta there😀
-
Players who aren't loyal to the team that is making them rich need to move along. That is a fact.
-
The league leading 85 posts and crossbars were obviously not acceptable, and were a heavy reason they didn't make the POs. The crappy goaltending (Markstrom's own admission) was another other heavy reason.
-
It doesn't matter to me for a different reason. If Lindholm wanted to go because his friend is going then his loyalty is in the wrong place, and he shouldn't be here. Good thing that is just an assumption. I had to make my living without my best friend being there. What kind of baloney would that be?
-
Well I guess it didn't happen for the bad news bears; maybe it was lack of a great cause. Those 2 exciting young forwards, and that extraordinary young goalie are ready for the team. I am impressed. They'll get played next year. Walker is ready too. I feel that Markstrom might want to go; that would make things easier. That was a great game to end the season (putting aside taking a cup). I'm excited for next year; more so than the coming playoffs.
-
You still can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to win now you gotta put bargain shopping aside. Bite the bullet on a tender deal that didn't work and go with the new deal. Markstrom moves if anyone wants him, and I doubt if he is dying to live here, so the team eats the loss. It looks to me like the team has a couple of talented two hundred foot natural goal scorers ready for next year, and a fantastic tender ready too. If Wolf keeps getting even better it won't be long until he is number one. Vladar would be a fine backup. Markstrom did the scariest goaltending since Hillier... fear struck my heart everytime the opponents pressed. I don't want that again.
-
That is the way to think.
-
That is what I was thinking. Markstrom played well the last 20 gamez or so. Maybe the Panthers or someone mighr want him for backup? I don't think Lindholm would care if Markstrom moves.
-
Fantastic. That kid is on fire for the game. We look forward with great aspirations!

Good thinking. That is a lot of work figuring the chances of all that but it's exciting. I still like the bad news bears. Everybody draw together for a cause and you never know what can happen. Lanny knows that. I hope they do it for the gipper.
-
travel, A little rich, but could get points in playoff hockey. Ya, you're right, we just don' t have enough Duehrs to charge 3 more lines. Kadri = power forward, ok, but not a great power forward. Anyway though, every team has to do with what they have. Players need to buy into a coach's and manager's game. The Bad News Bears thing. Great things can happen. Like Lanny said.
-
Change the game from the inside, or be somebody's dummy?
-
Ya. Sorry too for the sarcasm. I'm not a fan of Kadri. The 4th line with Duehr is clicking better than any of the others. Wish there were 3 more Duehrs, one for each line. Hopefully there are more Duehrs on the way. I expected more out of Huberdeau. Maybe the Habs will give up their first round pick for Huberdeau (for a first round lottery extravaganza). Maybe Jagr has quit drinking and he will trade Huberdeau for himself. Maybe Mcdavid will trade up to play with Duehr on the leagues premier 4th line 🤑👊 Can't wait for the coming Massacre of Alberta that the league has planned again at Calgary's expense. Stay positive, stay positive now🤐 It's too early to think fishing. I want to see the first round. We haven't given up.
-
Kadri stagnates. He's had chances on all the lines, I think.
-
Nicely put!
