Post-Game Talk: We win

[TriFF51]

Sure he's not the best player on the team but it just seems so obvious that Kreider is our captain. What are they waiting for?

It’s 09:07:00 PM for us and 09:07:03 PM for Adam Fox.

I love this post and it inspired a new username

Does that imply Foxy is ahead of his time?

 

[Larrybiv]

Miller has very little aggression to his game. It's just not his nature.

Maybe he needs to s*** kicked out of him a couple of times, to piss him off enough to integrate into his game.
I know that would piss me off. And I'm a lover not a fighter.

YEEEEERRRRRRRRRR.....

He’s going to go cold for 25 games in a few weeks and everyone on this board is going to hate him.

He has been excellent this year, but this is standard Kreider. He goes from dominating to the worst player on the team overnight.

I don’t think so. I think he have his usual cold run when it comes to points, but I think we see a far more engaged Kreids on a game by game basis then we saw last year.
He’s going to be more like the player we saw in his contract year pre-injury. Stats wise, he’ll be the same, maybe a touch higher, but overall he’ll have a bigger impact on the game itself.
Kreider looks better in these 1st 7-8 games then he did for all of last year. Even with his hot streak. He’s doing more of the little things, there’s more fight/passion in his overall game.
The biggest key with him is if he gets injured, ( I hope not but if) he’s got to sit and not try to play thru it if it’s serious.
When he does that, that’s when he begins to look like a 6.5 mill per year turd that everyone hates.
If we get this version of kreider all year, even if his totals are anywhere between 20-30 goals and 50-55pts, I don’t think you’ll see a lot of complaints about him. Even with his scoring droughts.

Kakko really reminds me of Rick Nash after being developed by hitchcock. Who was a heck of a hockey player. Understand it took Nash time to develop into that. Kakko is 20. Amazing his transformation this quickly.

there are going to be seasons he doesn’t put up a lot of goals but he’s going to be one of your most trusted two way players. Nash never had the blistering shot that hossa had and I’m not sure kakko does either.

Would love to see this Kreider for the first 80 games of the year

I'd prefer it for the last 80 games of the season including playoffs, but your point stands.

I wonder if Gallant took Kreider aside and said this letter is yours if you show you deserve it. This is a little different than the "good" streaky Kreider.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I could live without Kreider barking at the goalie. Nothing to prove there. Especially in a 4-0 game. Weird time to go all…WWF.

How did he go World Wildlife Fund?

 

[Kovalev27]

Imagine no one on Columbus said boo to kreider after that blatant taunting of their goalie? Just not a peep

I'd rather have it your way as well.

 

[duhmetreE]

Would love to see coach ride him, if everything is going well. Let Georgiev have first home game. I haven't looked, but we're not playing back to back in any of those games are we? Cuz if we are.....then obviously Shesty can't play all of them.

Edmonton and Calgary is back to back

 

[TheDirtyH]

This franchise is bipolar lol.

Didn't think anyone had a bad game. Some guys had great games. For those who care about 'flashes' I thought Laf and Kakko both were really dangerous every time they had the puck. Laf in particular racking 4 shots and a goal in 9mins across 2 periods was awesome. Don't look now but he leads the team in 5v5 p/60.

Don’t have to imagine… that was us of yesteryear

 

[Kovalev27]

Laf was tremendous last night. Just leave him alone on that third line let him be the guy on that line and develop. Don’t touch him

[GoAwayPanarin]

K'Andre was a f***ing savage in this game and has been for the most part this season and people want to move him/think he needs to be sent down?

What the f*** are you guys watching? Seriously.

 

[Brother Mouzone]

thank god someone else sees this. he's been a monster this year, playing by far his best hockey on both sides of the puck and been deleting people physically. this version of him is worth every penny of that contract

TBF he has gotten love from posters in every GDT and PGT, enough that I have noticed at least ...I agree that he has been a monster so far this year

Not this year not under GG ..........

I like a little attitude, this team has lacked that since Henrik left

 

[Larrybiv]

This is exactly as I see him to a Tee.
Main things I see so far that are mirror images
-way they use their body to shield the puck
-size
-skating
-attention to detail on the defensive side
-both show/showed excellent hands Down low, in close on the goalie
The one thing I’m not sure about is kakko’s shot. Hossa has a very hard accurate wrister that would explode off his stick and fool goalies all the time.
Not saying Kakkos shot isn’t up to snuff, but I’d like to see him use it more before I can compare that part of their games.
That could be the main difference for kakko being a 50-60pt selke caliber winger or a 70-80pt guy like Hossa was.
I hope it’s the ladder, but either way, I think he’ll be a damn good winger for a long time.

Surely he will be going UP on that ladder.

Can't deny that...but maybe the C will keep the fire lit. In terms of being verbal on the ice and showing emotion and appearing to encourage teammates I don't see anyone else being better. Of course I can only see what I see on MSG but seems like he really cares.

I don't think people even realize that Miller-Trouba has been one of the best pairings in the entire league to start this season.

Auto correct sucks my balls
