We can't afford to play those guys. What do you think this is, a rebuild?!?
I get it. But this team still thinks it's in the playoff chase.
Boo. This rubbish roster isn't gonna get any better so why not go with the youth? Turgeon was great from what I saw. Added energy to the 4th line and was epic on the PK.
Hicketts only had one game but played with urgency I thought. Initiated a goal, flattened Hischier, was like a rock on the PK and had three important blocks. Two mistakes but a solid debut.
Yeah. Glendening is gonna score 40 goals and Jensen is gonna shut down opponents top players to clinch a playoff spot.

I don't like how much Glendening plays, but he's better as a defensive forward and PK guy than Turgeon. Turgeon desperately needs to improve his skating.
And yeah, Jensen isn't good. But I still have Kronwall, Ericsson, Dekeyser, Daley, Green, and XO ahead of Hicketts.
I'm really beginning to despise Glendening.
I am geniunly surprised people don't understand this since it's been the way of the system since forever ago. It's a working system. "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Despite the narrative around here he's a much better player than Turgeon.I'm really beginning to despise Glendening.

Only one game played at NHL level but he couldn't possibly be worse than Ouellet. Don't get me wrong but Jensen and Ouellet are several years older than Hicketts, Hronek or Russo but have fallen through in almost every game they played. I'd even prefer Lashoff. Same age as Jensen but at least doesn't make mistakes. Ericsson is good now but was brutal at times. Wouldn't rely on that guy to rescue a season. Daley and Green have their moments as well and Kronwall is banged up badly.
I guess I'd like to know what in the **** XO did to get his icetime chopped so badly.
Or was he the sacrifice to Trevor Daley and Ken Holland's facile desire to make the playoffs.
Used to be an issue, but he's playing 13:31 this year, and only 10:43 at even strength. That's 11th among forwards at ES. His usage is finally pretty appropriate for the type of player he is. He's our best faceoff guy and a pretty good penalty killer. Not old and not expensive. Not really sure why anyone would have an issue with him.
He's left-handed and he's not going to get a spot over Dekeyser, Ericsson, and Kronwall.
Weren't all those guys on the team last year when he averaged 17:58/game?
Made more than 2 mistakes.
At times, he simply is too small and too slow to keep up with NHL skaters.
He'll probably get another look when Green is traded.
And whatever. Why not?
But there's too much "grass is greener" with the prospects. Especially prospects who aren't even playing well at the AHL level.
