Pet peeve...but how in the world are the players listed on that roster? It's not alphabetical, it's not by sweater number, it's not by position (C, LW, RW, etc).
They're listed alphabetically in groups, but they seem to have royally f***ed up the forward thing. Seems like a solid copy+paste job of some kind.Pet peeve...but how in the world are the players listed on that roster?

Raanta is the only #1 there and it's with Arizona lol but ya I get the point just not comfortable with a goalie under 6ft1 he is listed at 6ft though, even Grubauer who is 6ft1 leaves a lot of room upstairs.You should probably tell Halak, Khudobin, Bernier, Raanta, and Saros that they can't be NHL goalies due to their size. Especially that Halak guy. Would have won the Cup if he was the no. 3 and some random +6' 2" goalie was the back-up.
What exactly are Joe and others not buying? Francouz as a back-up because that's just Sakic playing the situation well. Brings over the KHL Goalie of the Year, watches as he leads the Eagles into the playoffs an average goalie would not have been able to do, and then gets him on a cheap deal because he has no NHL experience. And very average numbers? Do you know what the AHL league average SV% was this past year? 0.9035 and Francouz had a 0.918. In what world is that average?
Also you're using the word "journeyman" wrong. Journeyman implies that Francouz has been jumping from organization to organization like Dustin Tokarksi. Francouz is just making his NHL jump very late comparatively but every so often there's a Tim Thomas that comes along. Francouz isn't going to be Thomas but he just needs to be a back-up. The bar for back-up is pretty low in the league considering there aren't even enough NHL starters for the league. The guy just owned the AHL in his first year there while adjusting to NA play style. Might as well give him a chance. Better than running with a Michael Hutchinson.
Kadri is not tough.Kadri is gonna give us secondary scoring and toughness which we needed. So I think its going to be the most easy to see
Kadri is not tough.
Yes he is, he plays a tough game. Maybe not in the fighting sense, but he plays hard.
That's like saying Forsberg wasn't tough.
No that's not. Unless you think chirping is playing tough? He doesnt play like Forsberg at all. He doesnt really hit, he doesnt play a heavy game...he gets suspended when he loses his cool and gets dirty. You can be the biggest ***** on the ice and crosscheck someone in the face, that doesnt mean you're tough.
Guys like Compher and Wilson are tougher than Kadri. He has other qualities but if you expect physicality it's actually a downgrade from Soda.
Yup. Kadri is charmin soft
Is there a rule you have to play the ****tiest music possible for a hockey compilation? I recommend watching that one on mute.
I truly question if you've ever watched Kadri play much.No that's not. Unless you think chirping is playing tough? He doesnt play like Forsberg at all. He doesnt really hit, he doesnt play a heavy game...he gets suspended when he loses his cool and gets dirty.

He plays a tough game for sure. Hes not Forsberg level but I cant see how he's a downgrade on soda.Kadri is not tough.
Kadri is not tough.
Don't you dare disparage the good name of BDKKadri only needs to be tougher than Kerfoot. That's an easy win.

That's not being tough, that's being a pest. I'll gladly revisit this topic later this season.
I'm glad to have a pest in our team BTW.
So the multiple highlights of Kadri flattening opponents with a big hit is being a pest?That's not being tough, that's being a pest. I'll gladly revisit this topic later this season.

Ok, now I'm truly curious as to what you define as "tough". Because it seems like an incredibly high bar.That's not being tough, that's being a pest. I'll gladly revisit this topic later this season.

There were about 10 clean hits in the entire 5 minute video. Throwing sucker punches, cross checking Chara in the back, taking out Ovechkin at the knees, targeting Wingels head when his down, and pulling Jumbo's beard isn't being tough. He's a shit disturber. He's Matt Cooke with a sick set of hands. I personally don't consider him a tough player but I have to admit he's god damn fearless when picking his battles.So the multiple highlights of Kadri flattening opponents with a big hit is being a pest?
