Official NHL Playoffs Thread 2024


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I said this yesterday but wanted to bring it back. Is anyone worried about Kuzy?  The guy is at the bottom of the list in plus minus every game. I’m starting to feel he just isn’t good at hockey anymore.  Also, KK playing is like nails on a chalkboard.   We just aren’t a good team when he plays. Do we call up Suzuki?

No. He’s already been called up as a black ace, we aren’t going to Suzuki because we lost one flipping game. KK is playing better than you think, just because he missed a goal doesn’t mean he’s bad. Kuz on the other hand, has some issue and I don’t know what it is. He’s not playing crisp, he’s either trying too hard or not enough. I’m not sure you can say he’s at the bottom of +/- every game because he’s not in the playoffs.

KK is not the issue here. He's played well.

There is reason he was benched this year. He hasn’t been playing well at all. Maybe…maybe a game this playoffs. The groups fascination with KK is wild. He isn’t good.  If he was that good he would have been benched for Kuzy when we traded for him.

I mean seriously, if we benched players for missing an empty net once a game we wouldn’t have a roster to start. KK isn’t great this year but he’s been serviceable, hopefully he’s just having a Necas slump, but I’m not too sure he hasn’t hit his ceiling here unfortunately though. Moral of the story though, KK is what we got. We aren’t throwing a perennial AHL player into the playoffs without a practice since like training camp. It’s far more likely we put Comtios in and move Drury to center a line in a HYPOTHETICAL situation.

I strongly disagree with this maybe if you are just watching points sure, but he had provided a ton of physicality and has played well defensively.....

He is an incrediblely streaky player scoring wise.... your neglecting to mention he also earned his spot back from Kuzy and Drury (Kuzy has his own issues but he adds a ton to the PP he single handily won game 1 for us)

I think rod needs to Reunite SAT and try Guentzel-KK-Jarvis if that doesn't work I'd seriously consider trying something I think he should have already and try JARVIS AT 2C his game is all about right down the middle and he is a natural C.

I agree we got here with what we have..... KK has played better than point totals he's added needed physicality and defense.... 

 

Check my other post for more on that.

 

This is kinda what I meant telling people to chill the other day lmfao. One road road double ot loss and people are saying crazyniess.

We don’t need svech on 1 right now, unless they start gooning again.

I’d go Guenz-Aho-TT Svech-KK-Necas

I stand by more original lines, dropping Necas to 4… but.

    • I understand why your brain translates "cool, calm, and collected" into a pejorative like "boring milquetoast" since you're genuinely the polar opposite of cool calm and collected, as someone who awkwardly escalates every innocuous statement into multi-paragraph performative rants as if someone just slapped your mother.  I assure you that well-adjusted people do not consider that to be an insult in the real world...not ass-backwards Internet Land where it's cool and trendy to be a Debbie Downer and being "too positive" is thrown around as a slur.  I remember you bragging about taking two days away from these boards as if that was a big accomplishment for you, which was eye-opening to say the least.  I genuinely hope this is just some internet character you're playing, because the way you act on these boards would be objectively so off-putting in the real world.  I've known a couple people like this and it's always incredibly socially awkward and sucks the energy out of the room; these are the people who don't get invited out to social events. But instead of properly absorbing and learning from these social cues in person, you're being enabled by your fellow gloomy weird internet friends here which only encourages you to spend more and more of your time online to get the approval you crave.  Just some life advice, my friend...since I'm assuming you are very young.  Don't spend all of your time in here.  There's a whole world out there with real people and meaningful connections.  And despite what the internet has taught you, being pleasant is a good thing. Btw it's really interesting how you ignored this part and instead honed in on a singular 2-second moment that I referenced and saying that I "summed him up" that way.  But hey, this is ass-backwards Internet Land after all.
