If I'm a B's fan.....I want Linus saving that JT goal

 

[CowbellConray]

I wouldn't mind him but no way there is a good contract to be had with him

Shattenkirk is shat

He takes too many shifts off and throws a hit every now and then to make people think he is a top 6 power forward.

I don’t see it

Gets in dirty areas for goals. We could use more of that

But we can get that trait for a third of the cost.

Will carrier does the same thing
Dakota Joshua does the same rbing

Bertuzzi maybe get over 4.5M a year with term as a UFA. Pay a guy 2 or less for the dirty area work

That's why I said a good contract with him most likely can't be had.

But as a player I would take him.

We don’t disagree that there isn’t a deal to be had. I don’t know that he is worth more than 2.5 a year.

20 goal 50 point player is going to get more than 2.5

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Meanwhile, the Islanders are up 3-1 despite being outshot 22-11. Sounds about right.

Watch Islanders bounce Carolina in 1st round... Carolina moves on from Rod da Bod and there he is for the taking.

 

[CowbellConray]

20 goal 50 point player is going to get more than 2.5

Has only scored more than 50 points 1 time
Oft injured
62% ozone starts
Isn’t strong defensively
Winger only

I’m not trying to belabor a point, just not a fan

If that was a possibility then they wouldnt have had RBA sign his extension

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

How are folks feeling about the Ullmark over Swayman decision for game 2? Seems strange to me. I'd be pissed as a fan.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Canes had the Isles pinned in their own end for a good 2+ minutes, not able to convert.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

f*** Reeves, f*** Domi. I really like Matthews and Marneer but having a hard time cheering for this team.

 

[Beerz]

Like Granato

ya fans get pissed at anything

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

I'm upset and I'm not even a fan lol. Just seems dumb.

Like Granato

Granato wasnt fired 1-2 months after signing

They rode the hot goalie last year into playoffs and it didn't work. I don't mind them trying what's given them success the last 2 seasons.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

i agree it does seem dumb to be mad they started a very good goalie whose played excellent when theyve basically alternated starts all season

as i type this ullmark goes superman

 

[Fezzy126]

Benoit with a grown ass man shift against Marchand a few minutes ago. I got tired just watching him...

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

theres certainly a difference, they rode ullmark despite him being severely injured

this year theyre both healthy and theyve both been great

in fact their numbers are almost identical

 

[Beerz]

Ullmark has been great.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

half toronto's shots have been from the slot

Boston has really been struggling since i turned it on in the second

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Feels like you should not give Matthews a breakaway from the blue line in.
