2018-2019 News Around The NHL Thread

[EnforceTheLaus]

Rule number one in predicting the hockey season, never bet on Buffalo and Edmonton.

 

[CanadianPantherFan]

Gudbranson gave Hamonic a good fisting

That was awesome by Guds. He lost Lady Byng in one night (9-11 PIMS ).
Pettersen - the real deal.

 

[Gentle Man]

Hamonic is considered week-to-week.

That uppercut man.

"It's endlessly hilarious how Gudbranson can be complete trash for 20 games straight but then has one good game (which usually isn't even actually good) and the crowd who learned everything they know about hockey from watching Rock'em Sock'em videos in 1993 starts absolutely creaming themselves."
Re: "He doesn't even have to have a good game, he just has to punch someone in the face."
ReRe: "He doesn't even have to do that. He can concede 5 odd-man rushes in a game but throw a big hit and these people will be honestly claiming he was one of the best players on the ice. It's insane."

You got all that from one injury report?

 

[vendetta]

Imagine having God’s playing 17 mins a night. Would eliminate the need for
Haley, and could fill out the forward lineup with more skill. It’s clear what we’ve been missing since he been gone. People
Just still in denial and just can’t accept it. When our d are getting cycled down low and can’t do anything about it next game I’ll be sure to bring it up

 

[Ghoste]

Nah, I loved Guddy for his toughness, fights, heart, big hits but not really for his defense. I think you forgot the times he got caught out of position or leaving the crease to chase someone thus becoming out of position or tripping over himself or the elbowing penalties, etc.

I'm not a big fan of Petro and actually think this is probably it for him as a Panther. But even he saves us from Guddy's contact.

Yeah, we’re missing his career -67 on the backend for sure.

 

[Drugs Delaney]

I miss Gudbranson. I liked the toughness he brought to the team. I didn’t notice him being out of position regularly like some people did though. Imo every player is out of position at some point. I guess it all comes down to what we’re seeing personally. Some see goals as a defensive breakdown. I see them as good offensive execution.

Pulled from the “What do we have in Gudbranson” thread on the Nucks board. I was over there reading as well. There are also people over there that like him and both sides attack the topic like they do here. The guy does have fans.

I agree. If you focus on a player's negatives all you are going to see are negatives.

Even if you just watched Barkov you would find something to complain about.

Some folks are always negative. As has been stated by others previously, it's easy to be negative but takes work to be positive.

How dare you insult our Lord and Savior that way. You've been excommunicated from the Church of Barkov.

[Chaos2k7]

Guds is gone because of his contract demands, demands as it has clearly been proven since the deal, were smart to walk away from.

However Guds as a #6 and paid as such could come back and play for my team any day. Warts and all.

 

[jvr32]

Agree we need one physical player who intimidates opponents, Haley intimidates nobody and is a joke. When playoffs are around refs will allow some dirty things and if Panthers will get to the playoffs and face someone like Washington and Tom Wilson, he's going to bully this team and there is nobody going to answer right now for it.

 

[Gentle Man]

Is it October yet?


Aww f*** it is. Damn you NHL schedule.

 

[IceManCat]

I miss Guds

 

[CHGoalie27]

Rule number one in predicting the hockey season, never bet on Buffalo and Edmonton.

Not to win, but to lose a high scoring game.

 

[CHGoalie27]

Lol no u dont

Right now, I take Erik Gudbranson over any defenseman on the Rangers. It's close with Skjei. On this Panthers team, he's exactly a #6 on a team where we have worth starters fighting to move into that position. Physically he is an imposing force. Nothing wrong with being considered #6 on a solid balanced defense.

 

[Gentle Man]

Anyone watching the Edmonton Devils game?


What the hell is up with the benches?! The glass only goes for a short amount and the benches are WAY exposed.

Lol Edmonton and that defense.

I am not sure but I think the Benches are right on the ice..Under the black tape around the rink might be the ice (big surface). The game is played on NHL ice

Edmonton wont change ever

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

My guess is that Mclollan will be the first coach fired this season.

 

[Gentle Man]

My guess is that Mclollan will be the first coach fired this season.

Will he join the less than 7 games club?

 

[GrumpyKelly]

I didn't think it's possible but this Oilers team is even worse than last year.

I guess there really is no bottom.

Just need "one" more 1st overall pick
