We have dmen that have the ability, minus Carle and sutr, it's just that they don't always play that way.
Hedman being gone will only expose our defense even more, by that I mean, one dimensional.
Both Hedman and Stralman excel at getting the puck up. Garrison isn't bad.
Carle was supposed to be that guy when we signed him (oops), Coburn isn't that guy, and LOL Sustr.
They said that they'll know more tomorrow tough, one can hope it's nothing like that and maybe just a minor injury.
his back looked messed up when he hit. I know my back hurt just looking at it. Hope he is alright.McKenzie is in the hospital for currently unknown reasons but he's said to be in excruciating pain. As a fan of both teams and both players I'm pretty upset about this. One of the worst possible outcomes for a hit like that. I like Nesterov a lot but he will rightfully be suspended for that. Let's all just hope that it was a one time thing and that McKenzie will make a full and quick recovery from whatever is wrong.

Exactly.Not skating and transitioning but a defenseman who can dictate play in the offensive zone, it's probably the biggest weakness from our defensive group, they make terrible decisions from the point.
Transition wise I think we have an elite group with the top-4, but inside the offensive zone none of them are great puck movers or passers, it shows on the PP.

To anybody that has played hockey, couple questions/observations...
1. How the hell does Drouin do what he does? I know growing up some kids were gold, some prospects are amazing but the guy is so shifty it's like he is wearing shoes. The foots peed and agility he has is probably one of a kind, bias aside, he is just that good of a skater and puck handler.
2. Does Brown remind anybody else of that really old guy at a drop in that has no hands, curls his back leg when he shoots and tries really hard to score yet never does? Then when he is on the ice for a goal, he high fives you? That's Brown. Lol.
Yes but he is so damn fast. Most guys get stripped or can't sell it, he sells it so well and pulls it off on veteran players like crazy. Palat has hands like he is chopping watermelons while kucherov is slick and smooth but drouin is that caliber at his age that is one of a kind.To #1, he dekes with his whole body. Sometimes it looks like all his limbs are going in different directions. Imagine a defender looking at that. We've seen a lot of guys with great hands, but I don't know if I've ever seen a guy LOOK like Jo looks when he makes a move. The closest thing I've seen is probably in highlights of Denis Savard.
But beyond that, the vision is exceptional. That drop pass to Stamkos? While looking for all the world like he had no idea Stammer was there?
. I am expecting changes to both PP units and the entire PK.
God that gif never gets old.
We had some pretty bad luck tonight. Nesterov will probably get a suspension. Can't be doing that. Hope Hedman is ok. On the plus side, Stamkos showed up.
Bad game by Flip too.
Edit: Also - two people have been doom and gloom in here, and they're not historically our most thoughtful posters. Knock it off with the holier than thou, I'm so reasonable ****.
