All for sending Dvo down for Strome if he doesnt improve his game by the end of the upcpming roadtrip. Still too early, but he has signs of Chipatitus right now.
Just kinda have to scrub out the half decade of miserable failure that sits between today and all of those great things you referenced, right? Tocchet's list of desirable accomplishments is just a tad more recent, wouldn't you say?
Tocc's recent accomplishments are great, as an assistant, on a stacked veteran roster with 2 of the best players in the game. None of that insures you will be a good head coach.
Dvorak should honestly be sent the the AHL but we don't have any depth to cover. I wish we signed Burmistrov. We need to put a claim in for the next halfway passable center that hits waivers.
Surprisingly, I don't think that either Stepan or Dvorak have looked quite as bad as people say that they have.
I think that's mostly right, but Stepan did have a few rough games against Boston and Detroit. I do think he needs to be better but well who doesn't at this point except 2-3 players.
For Dvorak, he's not showing the same flair for offensive creativity or getting into position for shots like he was at the end of last year.
He's also not winning faceoffs at the rate he was at the end last year. I certainly don't think he needs to go to the AHL. I think he's been fine in the other 2 zones and it's only been 6 games so panicking on the offensive side isn't the way to go.

Surprisingly, I don't think that either Stepan or Dvorak have looked quite as bad as people say that they have. I think we just have so little of a game plan in the offensive zone that it looks like everyone struggles badly. We go for the quick strike but don't really have the follow-up once the puck stays in the offensive zone.
Keller is the only one who looks like he tracks where the puck is going to and picks up some nice little giveaways, but it could be at the expense of getting out of position, at times.
I don't think Stepan has played like a #1 C at all. He doesn't give up the puck and that is about all, but I think he can be much better. Like some one mentioned we should tell Dvorak the season has started as there is no urgency to his game, and we all have seen better from him as well.
Huh?? Domi had the third most points on the team last year while playing in TWENTY+ less games. His ppg his rookie year was .6419, last year was .6440. Dvorak to me is playing too tentative and has no confidence after playing last year in 78 games.Dvorak is going through the sophomore slump. Domi went through it last season.

Most of you guys did. And you were laughing at me when I told you that Stepan is just a 2nd line shutdown Center. It's why giving up DeAngelo plus the top pick for him and a backup was that stupid.I've never considered him a solidly #1 center. He's a fringe #1 guy. We used to have a fringe #2 as a #1 so I'll take the upgrade. But Stepan isn't going to be transformational to this team even at his best.
I think whoever will reply, or even acknowledge his postWho are you arguing with or trying to claim you were right against?
You're wildly mixing up narratives and probably concocting a few.
Goose has still had rough moments but I think he's been better each game. He still has some incredible wtf moments, but they're getting less frequent. I'd rather have him in than Connauton for sure, but Chychrun should definitely take his spot on the 2nd pairing.Same goes for Chychrun. If Goligoski is as bad in his next six games as he has been in his first six games, I think we need to strip him of his A and make him a healthy scratch when Chychrun returns. Connauton has been the better player between he and Goligoski this season.

Did Goligoski just get paid, move to the sunshine and decide not to give a **** at all? He's been a good player before. I've found him quite impressive when our team faced him. What the hell happened to this player? Why does this **** always happen to us?
