[Uncle Duke]

I've been wondering the same, and don't have a good answer. Could be a good way to rebuild his confidence, but that could also hurt his confidence short term more and take a while to work. Hoping he gets a few lucky bounces that turn into points and that takes care of it. But it could be necessary. And it did seem to help last year.

If it was just bad puck luck I'd say keep him around and let him figure it out, but he is just lost out there. I was expecting him to be a Yanni Gourde type but it's more like just plain Yanni.

Dal Colle with another goal tn. PPG player so far. Good for him. Maybe a late bloomer?

He’s still only 22. Maybe just needed some time to adjust to the pro game. He was a legit prospect and one of the best junior players at one point.

 

[Uncle Duke]

She's infinitely better than Butch.

I do think they are grooming her to take over Butchie's seat.

 

[SI90]

I’m thinking he may get a look sooner or later with the way Beauvillier has been playing.

Makes some sense knowing they didn’t recall Kuhnhackl after sendinrg Gibson down.

The weird thing about Dal Colle is when he played in the NHL he never looked out of place or made any mistakes. He just didn’t add anything.

 

[Jester9881]

Beauvillier is just completely lost out there

 

[ekill08x]

I have not like anything beau has done with the puck tonight. He lacks a sense of knowing what to do with the puck.

 

[YearlyLottery]

Beauvillier is a young third line player who is currently playing against top pairing defense. He's going to need some time.

 

[13th Floor]

Pulock with great gap control.

 

[13th Floor]

I do think they are grooming her to take over Butchie's seat.

Agreed, but part of my point is that she is definitely capable.

 

[13th Floor]

Somehow we are losing in faceoffs after tearing them up to start the game on the PK. What site tracks faceoff difficulty and strength of faceoffs taken? I need some sustainable stats.

 

[BTrotts19]

Cmon Ebs, that was a perfect shooting spot

 

[SI90]

Eberle needs to shoot that but man he has silky mitts

 

[13th Floor]

Leddy is the only hockey player on the planet that is slower pursuing the puck than skating and stickhandling with it.

 

[SI90]

Thought that was a slash. Especially in today’s NhL.

 

[Strait2thecup]

Incredible rush there by Barzal

 

[BTrotts19]

Eberle needs to shoot that but man he has silky mitts

If Trotz doesn't get these guys to shoot those types of shots, we are gonna finish last in SA by a wide margin...

 

[13th Floor]

Thought that was a slash. Especially in today’s NhL.

I thought so too, but the replay looked good. It was low enough on the stick for me.

 

[ekill08x]

Leddy is the only hockey player on the planet that is slower pursuing the puck than skating and stickhandling with it.

Would really love to trade him before the rest of the NHL knows that he actually sucks

 

[BelovedIsles]

Most of this game has been in the Isles zone.

 

[SI90]

NJD seem to block every shot from the blue line

 

[Strait2thecup]

Hickey thinking he can wheel is hysterical

 

[BTrotts19]

Ohh baby Greiss is in the zone rigjt now

 

[ekill08x]

everytime hickey tries to shoot its directly at a defender.

 

[SI90]

Stopped Crosby 1vs1 and now the Hart winner. Greiss. Wow

 

[ekill08x]

wow greiss has been good
