Staal trying to play offense is not only awkward in a hockey sense but genuinely just in a motor skill and body movement kind of a sense.

Lol

Awesome awesome post !!

It literally is. He's the worst defensive player on this team. He's amazing offensively and atrocious defensively. I love the guy and I love the signing, but I'm not naive enough to think that he's anything better than awful defensively.

"worst defensive player" =/= "he's the worst in the defensive zone"

Nash is using the CCM Ribcor Trigger looks like, that's my go to twig.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Not only did the offense die on his stick but he lost control of the puck and got caught behind defensively leading to an odd man rush.

 

[Anthony5967]

I want him bad.

 

[Raspewtin]

after this game.........

almost no price is too high

 

[Lion Hound]

Lol

What hockey-related does Girardi do better than Pirri?

Are you seriously saying that a poor defensive forward like Pirri would be better on D than Girardi? Lol

 

[Anthony5967]

Friedman also said the NYR are trying to move McI so they don't need to expose him on waivers. Many knew this though.

Does grabner even know what a net looks like?

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Gorts will get it done.

Our offense is electric. If we could add Trouba for Miller+, we would still be a flawed team, but would be incredibly dangerous.

Apparently some people actually believe this utter nonsense.

What hockey-related does Girardi do better than Pirri?

For starters, pivoting, skating backwards, covering more surface area in the D-Zone, getting in passing lanes, blocking shots, playing banged up.

Come on, one more.

 

[Kakko]

Why are they talking up our face-offs when we're getting wrecked on them tonight?

 

[bl02]

Nice stick staal

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Idk, I cant recall Pirri burning us in the d zone thus far.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

I can almost imagine them putting the "tape" in their vcrs

 

[Machinehead]

In the defensive zone? Roughly everything. In the neutral zone? Roughly everything. I'd likely give Pirri the edge at keeping the puck in play in the offensive zone if he was somewhere near the point.

This is comical. Trying to argue that Brandon ****ing Pirri is somehow better defensively than an actual defenseman. Even if it's Girardi. I feel like this is the Twilight Zone.

Well, there's the issue...

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

I swear to god if Pirri does not get put on the ice to get the empty netter when we're up by 3...

 

[5 4 Fighting]

We're going to give you a pass and forget you ever said Pirri would do better than G in his spot.
