If you like R&R and new bands, check out Dirty Honey, Feel or Ace Monroe!

« Last post by Mickstix on Today at 08:43:34 AM »I was being realistic though. They've handed out stupid money on the D we have, so doubt they'll be doing much on that front. I still don't know what they saw to give Sandin a 300% raise for 5 years. (4.5m)
Fehervary is the best thing they have. So they'll probably deal him, if anyone. lol

« Last post by Beaglefan2 on Yesterday at 01:30:19 PM »So for a season review:
Carbury - not bad, the team seemed to play for him at times. He has been dealt a bad hand though.
Ovi - really just an awful year despite getting 30 goals. Not sure how many 5 on 5 goals he had and for 2/3rds of the games he pretty much just half-heartedly skated around. He will keep chasing the record and it's going to be hard to watch.
Carlson - have to say he had a pretty decent year but he still made plenty of boneheaded mistakes.
McMike - seemed to take one step forward, then one back, but overall improved a fair amount.
Lappy - might be our best shot at a future top 6 guy.
Protos - regressed a lot after his contract signing. Hopefully they can get him playing with more fire.
Oshie - totally done and should retire but he will come back for the money - can't blame him for that.
Malenstyn - a very pleasant surprise. Hope they sign him long term.
Fehervary - our best dman, he had a pretty decent year with more improvement to come.
Willy - not great this year and wasn't skating that well - that knee injury might be a long-term issue.
Jensen - thought he had a pretty good year and has some speed which we desperately need.
Sandin - jury is still out, although his small size will continue to be a problem - especially in the playoffs.
Overall, we are obviously an old, slow team that isn't physical anymore and doesn't have any real star players.

« Last post by waynerivers on Yesterday at 01:28:22 PM »They were only slightly worse than expected in the playoffs. I figured they'd steal at least 1 game. No expectations of winning a series. Hope they can improve in the offseason, somehow, someway. Need a #1C and a goal scorer. May be able to survive with the D core, but a #1D who can produce would also be nice.
After observing Oshie all year, I've lost hope he has the "common sense" gene. He'll be back next year and play (when he's able) till he stops getting paid or dies on the ice.
The "D" is almost as bad as the "O". None of them are worth a damn aside from maybe Fehervary and he isn't untouchable
by any means. Jensen played yesterday like he had brain damage. They need to go get some D-men like you see on most of these other good playoff teams, guys that are big, hit people AND are fairly mobile. We don't have a single one.

You can't allow 2 PPG in a playoff game, much less 2 SHG pus 6 PPG in 4 games and have any success. Add in our own inept 0 for....PP, and pffffff.
3 games, there were no special team goals in G1

« Last post by richkrt99 on Yesterday at 12:07:58 PM »This heroic effort of a playoff series led in goals and points by that famous scoring machine Martin Fehervary:
Fehervary 2g 1a
Wilson 1g, 2a
Carlson 1g, 1a
Strome 1g 1a
Lappy 1g, 1a
Protas 0g, 2a
McMike 1g, 0a
Oshie 0g, 1a
Patches 0g, 1a
Alexeyev 0g, 1a
Ovie and everyone else on the roster 0g, 0a.
