2018-19 Roster talk; Part two

[Tripod]

I can't wait to see TK and that speed neutralized by Lappy by sitting back with no pressure on opponents.

what's the over/under on games before TK is demoted to the 4th line for not being safe enough?

Nothing would make them happier than to turn him into a Rinaldo-type player.

They don't want scoring. They want to suck all the skill right out of him.

 

[Tripod]

TK will go for a pass, miss it, and a goal will be scored and it will be the end of this experiment.

 

[Striiker]

He'll score a shorthanded goal and Hakstol will be furious that he didn't toss it down the ice.

 

[Rebels57]

I hate Dave Hakstol.

 

[Domino666]

I hate Dave Hakstol.

But he has no choice

 

[Oskar Man]

I'm ok with TK on the PK (rhymes for days, son) provided that he earns it the old fashioned way.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Really not too interested in having TK pelted by slapshots all year long.

 

[hatcher]

Solid coach and with better players and more commitment flyers will be fine. 5 to 7 yrs yet though.

 

[Striiker]

Back to trolling?

 

[BillDineen]

TK excels at PK and gets a number of Grabner style breakaways ... then Hak replaces him with Lehtera right before the playoffs ...

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

The hyperbole is strong in this thread. Not that it bothers me. Just saying.
Cant wait for hockey. Even if it is preseason

I know the hatred for hakstol is off the charts. But even that this thought is in is head has to be considered a good thing. Let’s see where it goes.

Why would that thought be a good thing?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I know a handful of people like to pretend that the hate for Hakstok is some meme, or some groupthink Hive cult delusion, but he truly sucks. Fire Hakstok.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

What does the 1st and 2nd PK units look like this season.

 

[magnumpi]

ok, so last year people were rightfully upset that TK got screwed by Hakstol in terms of playing time and responsiblity.

And he's giving him a chance to kill penalties. And people are complaining????

Philadelphia fans?????

Just like I don't understand the whining by philadelphia fans (in general) over the Phillies. They were at the bottom of the league for 5-6 yrs. This season they contended for the division title, missed the playoffs and people are trashing the organization. No progress was made this season apparently.

I dont like Hakstol.

But having tantrums over giving TK a chance to kill penalties is beyond my comprehension.

Let's complain about him no matter what he does.

Let's see if it actually happens first.

 

[deadhead]

Last season Nico Hischier, #1 pick, played 13:44 ES, 2:02 PP, 0:34 PK
TK 13:29 ES, 1:24 PP
Now TK was awful on the PP, 2.1 GF/60, which is bottom of the barrel scoring.
I think we can all agree that Nico is hands down more talented than TK.

 

[kelmitchell]

Not a Bret Hart fan?

Not even slightly im not

It's not Philadelphia if the fans aren't complaining.

 

[Curufinwe]

I think Lindblom would be a better PK option than TK, but they may as well try him in preseason I guess.

NHL.com - Stats

Couturier
Laughton
Raffl
Giroux
Simmonds
Lehtera
Leier

It’s not a given that the bottom two guys will actually be on the roster, so they need to look at their options.

 

[Curufinwe]

What does the 1st and 2nd PK units look like this season.

I would like to see

Couturier-Raffl
Provorov-Gudas

Laughton-Lindblom
Sanheim/Hagg-MacDonald

Giroux-Simmonds/Konecny as the extra forwards

Ghost could be a good option, but I’m trying to be realistic given HakLap are still in charge of the PK.
