Shultz needs to be replaced by...streit in a few week

Or Alt.

Agreed, this is the time to see what we have down in the Minors and see what we have moving forward, we're not a playoff team.. Hope they use the time wisely.

Big Foot takes photos of Ghost.

Nessie wears a "I saw Ghost" T-shirt.

Beefy was the odds on favorite for the first reply, you were the even-money second choice.

 

[Delete99991]

Ghost and Medvedev works for me.

Schultz and L Schenn REALLY struggled in this one.

 

[Tripod]

Ghost and Medvedev works for me.

Schultz and L Schenn REALLY struggled in this one.

Doesn't it make sense to split up those 4 and have Ghost with one of the slugs and Medvedev with the other?

At least every pairing would have a dman capable of skating the puck out of the zone or adding offense.

I hate that Ghost never seems to be out with Giroux. Give them someone who thinks the game the same way.

Send the Russian back to Siberia. He does nothing for me.

 

[Tripod]

Except create offense and was a plus player.

Nice try Manning.....err Boxcar.

 

[BillDineen]

Which is worse boxcar65 and Manning or BP 74 and Bryz?

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Send the Russian back to Siberia. He does nothing for me.

He's better than Manning at every single aspect of Hockey.

Manning is one of the worst players in the NHL.

 

[CS]

The answer is Wolfy and Ole-Kristian Tollefsen.

There was someone who had a huge crush on Randy Jones for a while, but I forget who.

There was also someone who inexplicably defended coach Stevens tooth and nail.




In another note, Manning does get a little too much hate around here. He's a mediocre bottom pairing defenseman. That's fine. There's nothing wrong with it. If you want to get mad at something about this team, get mad at all the money we're spending on people who cannot score a goal to save their lives.

jxc.

 

[Rebels57]

Medvedev is much much better than Manning, but I have to say, Nick Schultz has been far and away our worst defensemen this season.

When he is on the ice, I full expect them to get scored on.

 

[Appleyard]

Schultz has been crap so far this year...

though his minutes are absolutely killer now.

36.7% Ozone starts (6th toughest in NHL)
1.33 Corsi rel QoC
1.23 Corsi raw QoC (both QoC measures inside top 30 toughest in NHL)


He had tough minutes last year... but this year is ridiculous.

 

[bb12]

Shultz has to be the guy to get replaced when streit is back. Is there really any arguements as to sending ghost back? He is our savior!

 

[achdumeingute]

Voracek with 8 points in his last 7 games....yet playing like garbage.

On the flip side, on our last 10 goals, Giroux has 9 points.

Garbage is a little extreme. Vora getting assists is what he does.

It's VERY sad and telling that a rookie defenseman has the best goalscoring talent on this team.

Longterm, I'm not worried about 93 getting points. We've got to get a couple more forwards with a + shot though.

Really don't get why Hakstol is using him to defend leads against oppositions best players night in, night out, when he is clearly failing at it.

Would like to see MDZ-Gudas seeing tougher minutes than him. That's a no-brainer.

Unless he hits the wall over the next few weeks you can't send him back.

The issue you are going to run into if both are in the lineup is neither kills penalties. You can add Medvedev to that group as well.

hahah of course he does..

cuz unlike Manning, Meds can play at the NHL level..

MDZ and Gudas make plenty of mistakes given reasonable minutes. Make those minutes tougher and they'll make even more. For example, Gudas firing the puck straight to the Nashville player yesterday in the last minute when he had plenty of time to compose himself aim the puck somewhere else.
