Jeff Daniels does helm our best PK. But the PP is historically bad.  Need that fixed. I just go to all the games but I don’t know. 
 

need a goal scorer. That simple. 
 

Staal is done  I think he retires. Aho is our captain. 
 

pool party and ghost where absurd absolutely busts. Ghost couldn’t stop turning it over. 
 

will KK step up next year. I hope so. 
 

freddie raanta and Koochie. One goes. My guess raanta. 
 

ohhh and we need a goal scorer.

Tim Gleason runs the PK not Daniels.

That man is svetch. But we need that dirty guy. 

You don’t want your star player having to be your enforcer though, in my opinion. If Svech was playing tonight and stuck up for Slavin against Bennett that would be a trade Florida would take 10 times out of 10. We need a second or third pairing defenseman or a bottom six forward who has a little goon in them.

It’s sad that our star player has the most balls on the team when it comes to sticking up for his teammates.

Acquire a player with some actual grit and toughness. If we’re gonna get called for penalties, we might as well knock some of the opposing teams’ players out of the game.

Yeah we need to adjust our philosophy a little. Im tired of this pussified hockey where we take it but dont dish it. Other teams are not afraid of dishing it either because we arent hurting them with our powerplay. Fix the powerplay and get more physicality on this team.

This x100. This is like 4 years in a row some goon has knocked out one of our best players in a series (Boston x2, NYR, FL). How we haven't learned and gotten somebody to return the favor is just mind-boggling to me - this is even worse than not trading for a scorer at the deadline IMO.

I’m fine with Staal coming back as a 4C and I definitely want Fast back. I’m also fine with Andersen and Raanta coming back because I don’t truly trust Kochetkov yet.

But I’d 1000% offer sheet PLD and try to sign a physical presence like Carson Soucy.

Svechnikov - Aho - Teravainen

Pacioretty - PLD - Necas

Noesen - Kotkaniemi - Jarvis

Martinook - Staal - Fast

Drury

Burns - Slavin

Skjei - Pesce

Soucy - Chatfield

Andersen

Raanta


Having a healthy Svechnikov, Pacioretty, and en elite 2C in PLD would probably put us over the hump.

    • It is like when you go to da buffet at da Golden Corral and dey have all dis food and you get the same thing every time.   There is probably something you would like more, but you go to da same ol racks and get da same ol food every time.  Not sure why I am writing in trailer park dialect, but hey, watcha gonna dooo.
    • If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.
