Mostly that's just Strudwick though. Rishaug just uses it as a means to blame Bouchard for everything.
I listen to pretty much every GYB podcat and I have no idea how you arrived at that conclusion.
I listen almost every time, and I'm exaggerating a bit, but he's very quick to jump on the typical scapegoats like Bouchard. Strudwick is typically very balanced in his handling of Bouchard (and everyone really).
Did Draisaitl run over your dog or something? All I hear from you is negativity about him.
That's how I'm choosing to look at this. Long-term it would be catastrophic. But this is a real good chance for Draisaitl, leadership group and team to step up in a big game showdown. Good test and something that can galvanize this team at this critical final stage of playoff preparation.
Connor has been extremely responsible with every injury he's had. There's no reason to worry
Biases exist everywhere...thats especially true on HF.

I actually think that they have pretty good balance on that podcast and I think that you have to consider that if they agreed on everything the podcast would get pretty boring. I like that they table different persepctives on things and hash them out.
IMO on here Ceci gets too much hate and Bouchard gets a free pass. Part of that is because there is a contingent on here that really want this team to have a Norris contender and they just wont stand for any arguments that might highlight reasons why Bouchrad may not be a Legit Norris contender. Thast fine.
I found the same thing with Nurse...posters on here grinding Ceci for plays that are clearly Nurses fault. simply because they dont like Ceci.
Its hard to put biases on a shelf and just look at a player objectively. I try very hard to do that and I dont always suceed.
So getting a truly objective perspective on a player is really difficult IMO. Even some of the analytics dont provide enough context and yet posters will use that data as if its absolutely irrefutable objective evidence.
What I like about GYB is that I think that they try and offer differing opinions that require a supporting argument. Rishaug is actively trying to offer an opinion/perspective different from Struckwick...same with Brown sometimes.
I think that makes the podcast much more interesting especially if the opinion I am hearing differs from my own opinion.
Not if the Kings can help it. The only King that scored last night was Akil Thomas who apparently didn't get the memo. The rest of the Kings were tripping over bluelines, running into each other and passing off on shots when they were generally doing nothing out there. Would have been around 50 stumble and falling down episodes as well.
A poster that would generate 3page long blockposts full of random statistics. He was the boards equivalent of this:
Soft just occurred last night. The Kings were drubbed by ducks and charmin and a back up goalie, it wasn't even Gibson stoning.
Indeed, why not? Nothing is served in this game. Seems clear as well teams are doing the bare minimum against Vancouver. Seems like 2nd is ordained again.
Mostly, and if there is a tie, they'd likely have the tiebreaker as well as they currently have 2RW more than VGK. That said after tonight both teams have the exact same schedule, so if Vegas wins tonight the odds likely shift towards Vegas being the likely 3rd place team.
