Lfg Sillinger

 

[We Want Ten]

Sillinger finally gets rewarded for his efforts tonight. Dude looks good.

 

[stevo61]

What an odd line on paper but its been producing

 

[TLEH]

Any consideration/rumors of him getting moved this summer?

He makes too much for too long. We don’t want to retain 2 or 3 mil for 6 years. The trade sucked, the contract was worse.

He was fine last year though. This year it’s been an abomination.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I know nobody was excited to get him but Nylander and Sillinger have been very good together

Is Pascal trying to get fired?

And what was their SH% then have you forgotten? Over 17%. Even Auston Matthews didn't have that most of the time in past seasons. Only in 3 from 7.
Besides, they're having good time today.

 

[MoeBartoli]

My god is Chicago bad!

 

[We Want Ten]

Olivier needs to quit handling the puck lol.

 

[VABUCK]

Weak call

 

[MoeBartoli]

Olivier needs to quit handling the puck lol.

He’s feeling it tonight!!

 

[CBJWerenski8]

He does turn the puck over a lot though

 

[VT]

Sillinger and Nylander have excellent chemistry, I think.
I like Olivier, he is a real warrior, a tough guy.

that’s hardly unique on this team

 

[stevo61]

Bedard with a shift almost as long as Voronkov plays in a period

 

[We Want Ten]

He’s feeling it tonight!!

He's played well lately, just not the 30 seconds in that sequence lol.

 

[Halfboard]

Off topic: Rempe & Reaves just squared off to a draw.

Anyone got a video post?

I dont think Rempe wanted it but Reaves trying to stay relevant kept looking for it. Coaches tried to avoid it

 

[VT]

The Russians have a period when they play badly, that's why Vincent reduced their time. Conversely, Sillinger's line is playing well, so he increased it. When that changes, again the Russians will play more and Sillinger's line will play less.
The fourth line doesn't count, not forgetting that they often get increased time due to being in the DZ for long periods of time.

Yeah, Rempe ignored him earlier in the game, but I guess he couldn’t ignore it forever.

Or they look uncreative and defeated because their coach clearly doesnt support them when they supported the team for so long. Hes a joke and even if they are struggling give them a chance to work through it like everyone else. His methods and words are pathetic

 

[LJ7]

Gotta skate down, shoot and then get back on defense.

I didnt like Larsen as a coach but he seemed like a nice guy. I cant think of anything I like about Vincent. Just strikes me as an arrogant trash tier coach.

Has enough time passed, can Babcock just quietly step back in?

His russian line deployment really has tipped me towards wanting him out, I was overall pretty neutral on Vincent before

Time is earned and young players need to be coached. But they also need to keep their confidence buoyed. I have huge question marks about Vincent in that regard. His coaching style at times seems passive aggressive at worst, old school disciplinarian at best

So Sillinger's line, which is playing great, is supposed to play less? It's interesting that no one is limiting its creativity (Silly had to fight his time, by the way).
And if you think anyone is going to change the timing of the first, you're wrong, not even Torts would do that.
Anyway, speaking of youth:

Chinakhov (23) - Voronkov (24) - Marchenko (24)
Texier (25) - Sillinger (21) - Nylander (26)

I really like the Russians, but let's be fair.

Time is earned and young players need to be coached. But they also need to keep their confidence buoyed. I have huge question marks about Vincent in that regard. His coaching style at times seems passive aggressive at worst, old school disciplinarian at best

Sillinger and Texier are probably veterans.
