Ugggh ... hello all .... but man, I like Allan May much more when he doesn't drink the Koolaid. While I like Carlson, and that contract is a good one, he is NOT the perfect defender for today's game. The defensive AND physical side of his game still has a way to go. Though yes, I'll agree that his offensive and PP game are damn good.
Evening all. :wackysmile:
But offense and the PP isn't why you overpay a defenseman
LoL, just noticed those big banners up on the glass.. (Hadeed, Power Days, etc.) Is that see though from behind? I'd be pissed if I paid forI'm pretty sure only people on TV can see those. kind of like those first down markers watching the NFL.lower level seats and had one of those blocking my view.
I'm pretty sure only people on TV can see those. kind of like those first down markers watching the NFL.Must be.. I notice there aren't any on the near side glass either..
If you think he's overpaid compared to the few defenders that are clearly better or just the other guys that come close, I'd love to hear what you think the contracts that we'll see in the near future. WOW ..... pfft, he's just a point-a-game guy that is still a decent defender (ie still having room to obviously improve). Now if you said that about Orlov, I'd be buying you a couple of beers.
Must be.. I notice there aren't any on the near side glass either..
Actually that is pretty much what determines a defenseman salary. All if the top paid dmen are offensive dmen.

Nisky getting upset over the high hit on Willy :lol: , there's gonna be fight latter
That hit on Willy caught him on the chin, that's a head hit. Fity bucks says nothing happens from the league
What??? You took the time and energy to actually type out that question??
that was holding??It was a cheap call.
that was holding??that was the ref wanting to get more time on TV
PP looks like obese butt crack w/o Osh and Kuz..
This Wings PK is pretty tough, we’ve barely been able to get set up on them.
Orlov ... forgetting how to play funda-fucking-mental hockey ...... AGAIN. $5 Million my fat white ass ....I would suggest he maybe concussed after the Habs game. . . but, it is Orlov

Willy is already over 14:00 of ice timeHe is our best player right now. He is playing some very good hockey.
they really need to stop putting that camera on the concourse. . . damn fools just go go full retard on it, and I bet they’re sober tooAre you saying its OK to make a fool of yourself when you're drunk?
I think Orlov gas taken a step backwards this season. So has Niskanen.
I didn't see the Habs game, so I'm unsure what happened to him there ... but as you said .. "it is Orlov'. I'd get rid of him right behind Burakovsky (unless they both make major strides in making their game better and FAR more consistent).

I think Orlov gas taken a step backwards this season. So has Niskanen.I would bet Matt's problem is he's having to overplay so much to cover Orlov. Remember how solid he was with Alzner?? Hell, unless there's something wrong with him, I'd go back to the Habs and offer them a 3rd or 4th for Alzner since he doesn't even get a sweater from them most nights.
Orlov had a mental lapse on who’s kid Max is

Are you saying its OK to make a fool of yourself when you're drunk?Well . . . depends
Same type trip that cost Bowey 2 minutes, ignored..
Well . . . depends
.
No DC ..... not you.
AND There's my boy!!! :uh-huh: Loving the new emotes btw. Thanks 'aj. :uh-huh:
LoL.. I feel like there's an inside joke brewing here?
:rofl:
I have a long ... friendly .... history with him when he's been drinking. And like Lady, we try to keep him .... lets say ... making better life decisions.
Well . . . dependsI'm sure we have all made asses of ourselves under the influence of alcohol.
.
Beauty by Conno.. :poop:
So they send a guy to the locker room bleeding profusely but it's ok
and probably 40 goals against 🤣🤣
Thankfully his 15-or-so goals a year only cost us $1.5 million
and probably 40 goals against 🤣🤣
He started the season on Ovies line and DSP took some of D roles.
Oddly, and I'm surprised by this, he's a +6. While his center is a -8 and the POS on the other wing is a -5.
it was just announced Kuzy will and Oshie will not go with the team for the next two games in NYC, Rags tomorrow at 2pm and Monday at islanders
and probably 40 goals against 🤣🤣In all honesty Connolly hasn't been as bad defensively this season. Although it might be an illusion based on the fact that Eller and Burakovsky have been so bad that its making Connolly look like a selke contender.

Apparently Rierden does not agree with your assessment as he had both Eller and Burakovsky out there at the end of the game but Connolly was not with them.I didnt say Connolly was a stud defensively. Not sure why Burakovsky was in the ice. That surprised me. He has been playing a bit better so maybe Reirden was rewarding him.

There was ab Empty Net with a two goal lead, they where out there to stat-pad, not for their “elite defensive prowess”I agree about trying to pad their stats. They took several shots at the empty net from our end of the ice. Some of this attempts were unnecessary. They didnt have to ice the puck as often as they did.
