Re: Temporary hockey discussion thread
Where does Kucherov go down on the list of great NHL Russian players of all time? The guy simply continues to impress year in year out. He’s only 30, looks like he could play at the level he is playing at for 3-4 more years. He’s definitely in the top 5.

Re: Temporary hockey discussion thread
This team has to figure it out quick. I don’t want to see them torched in the playoffs, but that’s what’s coming for them.

Re: Temporary hockey discussion thread
They’re in a funk, no doubt. Part of it is not having Demko between the pipes - DeSmith’s been showing cracks since the homestand. Part of it may be players either saving juice for the playoffs or the line-juggling is taking its toll on chemistry. The PP is trying to create havoc in the crease more, but is still relying on screens, seeing-eye shots and set bumper plays to score.Madcombinepilot wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 3:15 pm This team has to figure it out quick.

They have five games to get right.

Re: Temporary hockey discussion thread
Besides, what would a healthy Lindholm bring to the equation? The answer to that question has yet to be seen. Dunno if we’ll see it this season.

My gawd, Lindholm isn’t saving the day. Give yer heads a shake. He’s turned into a pour man’s Swedish version of 3rd line Center Manny Malhotra.

Re: Temporary hockey discussion thread
I'm telling ya...Ricky and Foote along with that wily old coyote Trader JimBro the 2nd are playing possum.
Just look at the evidence presented...
-The starter pulls himself and the team gives him a month plus to fully recover from the rigors of leading the NHL. He's already been attending full practices for at least 3 or 4 sessions. Traveling with the team, chillin on the beach in LaLa
-Their game breaker laid off the gas a month ago and has been coasting into the playoffs fully rested and ready to rip 'er up and Conn Smythe that bitch
-Even usually snarky Z is laying off the body, resting up and building energy to explode into everything that moves
It's science and shit yo

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
