Yup, Sutter and Beagle were all-out hustle two-way vet pros, Horvat and Petey were the young scoring phenoms.Madcombinepilot wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 5:36 am Mick, take a Prozac. Gagne didn't make it out of camp. Got out worked, out played and (rightfully) got sent down (like Management said people would). Gags went down, did all the right things, was a pro, and (due to injuries) is getting his shot to remake the NHL..
What's the big deal?? It's the hockey cycle, nothing worth getting excited over.
And Motte and Leipsic speed and hustle got a hard earned start to the roster, notably Motte plays pretty awesome with Sutter/Beagle on the penalty kill.
Granlund Sutter
Motte Beagle
iirc were outright dominate on the PK.
Anyways that's why Gagner was the odd man out, but like he should be - wasn't too happy about being demoted, but he took it, and played great with the Marlies, was their top dude there.
I'll appreciate his veteran presence out there.
