Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

There was some red meat for Doyle in the AHL forum with Abby playing the Kings affiliate twice but sadly he didn't drop in.

A handsome mutt though. There’s a little Italian in there, a little Irish, some English and my great great grandfather was a Comanche war chief.

Well, we needed that win.

But the team is still super soft.

I like Hoglander and Garlands hustle, they will keep this team in a few games.. but the top line has to settle in and start to play.

… and JB needs to address the team toughness. With as many little guys as we have on the team, we need a guy who likes to tilt.

But I totes agree with you, it’s a bit Team Smurf and if this is really a playoff team they will have to handle physical challenges. We shall see.

Watching a very effective coiler powerplay and comparing it to the terrible Canucks version, one thing that stands out is how the coil jam the net on the point shots while the Canucks just waive sticks at it and let the goalie/defense protect that slot.

We need Miller and Horvat in there jamming with Pettersson and Boeser off to the side to snipe the loose pucks. There's no reason we can't copy this

Dry just lurks at the right circle while McD cycles in and out of the slot scooping up the trash then dishing it off to him. It's effective

Signing Kyle Burroughs to a two-yr deal is looking to be a great depth signing, especially in lieu of Hamonic's absence.

Leads the team with 17 hits, tied for team lead with 9 blocked shots with low ice time.

I have to give some props to Burr v2.0 too.

The Burroughs/Rathbone is not an ideal 3rd pairing for all 82 games, and these young guys will need to be protected heavily to minimize their frequent mistakes... but given the situation on the right side, he has filled in quite admirably.

He's undersized but competes, has enough savvy and speed. Clearly Schenn doesn't have enough speed and mobility to be anything more than depth and Burroughs is now ahead of him IMO.

We absolutely need to sort out the Hamonic situation this season, but KB44 is a very decent depth 7/8 Dman... certainly not the defensive disaster that Mike Hunt is.

Apparently Hamonic is getting ready to fly into town sometime this week. This is according to Dhaliwal, said on his show.
