Alzner: Petry's most reliable partner ever?

[NotProkofievian]

I think Alzner has been fine but he has not been the spark I wanted him to be for Petry (not yet anyways). I think we made a mistake by protecting Benn over Beaulieu. That move was not one I supported. If we kept Beaulieu, we had more leverage to negotiate with Alzner because of our LD depth and we probably could of got him for cheaper and less term.

Lol, Alzner as a ''spark.''

Alzner is absolutely awful and he was probably the worst or 2nd worst signing of this year's UFA, in the entire NHL.

 

[That Habs Fan]

Alzner is a shorter Hal Gill. Not really high praise...

Lol, Alzner as the most reliable ''spark'' ever.

Fixed for dubious entertainment reasons.

I don't agree Alzner is absolutely awful but I do question the AAV and term.

That was a SOLID edit.

You like that description eh? Synonyms for spark: Flash, Glint, Twinkle, Flicker, Flare, Pinprick, etc.

 

[OnceWasNot]

Alzner's "spark" burnt out 2 years ago. Just ask all the Caps fans who were eager to let him walk this past summer.

 

[Uncle Gary]

Did Alzner ever have a "spark"?

 

[NotProkofievian]

I suppose you could use a boat anchor to get a spark if you tried.

 

[LaP]

This was both visibly and statistically untrue.

Then we don't watch the same games. And we don't care about the same stats.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Then we don't watch the same games. And we don't care about the same stats.

The first is apparent. The Second may true. I care about stats that correlate to winning games and stats that have a causal effect on winning games.

I think Alzner and Petry will get better as the season goes on, they need to get used to each others' style of play.

The ideal outcome is Alzner's defensive play allows Petry to play up a little more and carry the puck in more often, generating more offence. I think this will happen but it'll take a few more games to work.

EASHL CPU D man or Karl Alzner?

You choose.

I'm not quite sure how this is going to happen. Petry will carry the puck more often out of necessity, but I'd expect him to play up less with a slow D partner that can't handle the rush all that well.

 

[Habset]

I guess you can call that reliable

Relatable is more like it.

I think solid would be the right word actually

 

[Roke]

With Alzner demoted to the 3rd-pairing in the second & third period against Anaheim is Joe Morrow now Petry's most reliable partner ever?

 

[WeThreeKings]

It hurts being this right about incompetence moves every time.

 

[Price is Wright]

It hurts being this right about incompetence moves every time.

He's an offensive dynamo though!

 

[SnapVirus]

Alzner and Petry are playink like Kaberle the year before we bought him out

 

[nhlfan9191]

To think we not only got out of the expansion draft without losing anything of any value, but also got rid of Emelin’s contract only to sign this bum for more money and 5 more years.

Kaberle and Campoli or Alzner and Petry...

 

[Fazkovsky]

I see some bad things from him but he has been positive too

He has been putting up pts while it’s not his job

Wtv you guys say I prefer him to Emelin
