Re: Petro on IR

Lineup? I will guess:

Bouw - Parayko
Eddie - Bortuzzo
Gunnar - Schmaltz

I don't like pulling Dunn out but no way are they going to line up two rookies on the same pairing. And I don't think they would put Schmaltz on the second pairing either.

Re: Jaskin and Paajarvi

Jaskin had a nice game today. I'm noticing more and more his skating is way too hunched over forward. Guy needs to get his head up, move his feet more efficiently. He looks like the way Backes used to skate, which is not quick by any means. I thought today was his best game in the NHL. I always tho...

Re: Shattenkirk is delusional...

Yes, Shattenkirk is delusional. The whole reason he didn't re-sign here was because he wanted to be payed and played as a top-pairing defenseman, but he's never shown that he actually has that ability at the NHL level. That's why we tried trading him and why we were largely unsuccessful doing so. Wa...

Re: Analysis

I can't believe we are discussing how much better we would be with Sanford and Berglund returning. The Sanford talk is pretty funny. I'm on the other side here, as I think Sanford might turn into a player. I think he's got the hands and head that should lead to some good production. Yeo was stating...

Re: Analysis

I think early on, we were giving up a LOT of breakaways and odd-man rushes against while we were focusing on offense, but able to recover from it, either due to goaltending, or limiting mistakes. I think our system now is a high risk-high reward system, and the limitations of it may be showing up. ...

Re: Analysis

Three forwards would be asking a lot to say the least depending on what you are wanting. They already have Tank, Schwartz, Schenn, Steen, Stastny giving them an above average top 6 with one of the best defenses in the league. Adding just one more player for secondary scoring would do the trick. Thr...

Re: Final roster set

http://www.mlive.com/griffins/index.ssf/2017/11/five-goal_second_carries_griff.html Here’s an article with highlights from that Rampage game. Good to see Kostin isn’t afraid to go to the middle of the ice, and that he’s stayed healthy. yeah, I'm really excited about this kid and hope he gets a shot...

Re: Analysis

This 100%. I think the Fabbri injury could be a real roadblock to this team being a true contender. If Fabbs was in there (and once Bergy comes back)the second and third lines would be much more complete. I still think this team is a top 6 forward away from being elite . That being said, they still...

Re: Final roster set

Beau Bennett thrown to the Wolves... Bergy's on the trip, I wonder if he's ready??? Korac just tweeted that Bergy isn't quite ready yet. He's going to be re-evaluated after the trip. They don't have to call anyone up until Thursday when they play, so might as well save some cap space in the meantim...

Re: Hitchcock v. Yeo

Hitch is a HOF coach. He came on board and helped this team make a drastic turnaround using a very basic defensive approach and physical style that made the Blues a hard team to play against. It also probably helped the team win more games than their skill level should have allowed. But having said ...

Re: Dunn

I think so too. His awareness is really good in both zones. Defensively I think he's already better than Shattenkirk. Offensively I think his upside is similar. I hate to say it because I can't stand the guy, but he kinda reminds me of Duncan Keith. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he reaches that ...

Re: Gordo chats

I agree with the OP, I am not finding the same quality assessment from Gordo. He tends to hedge too much with his responses. There's just not as much insight.

Re: Love the new system

CaptSMRT wrote:Wait...dumping the puck every time you gain possession didn't work for you? But when the other team has possession then you are playing in their end.
Yeah - chip, check, dump, chase, forecheck, lose possession, retreat, repeat - was starting to get a little old for me. :D

Love the new system

I know it's only one game, but I already love the new system compared to what we've seen in recent seasons. The team appeared faster and so much more unpredictable. Having the defensemen engaged in the offensive zone makes us much more dangerous. They weren't just pinching in along the wall, they we...

Re: Final roster set

Brodziak, Thorburn, Sundquist, and Thompson are the only right-handed forwards in the lineup. I'm guessing that ended up working against Blais, but I'm sure we will see him at some point this season.

Re: Cuts are in

Surprised nobody mentioned Lindbohm being put on waivers. In a normal year I have no doubt he would get snatched up. The only reason he may not this year is because of the logjam of D-men Vegas is going to add to the waiver wire. That, and he has one pre-season game under his belt after recovering ...
