GDT: #71 - DEVILS at SABRES – FRI MAR 20 @ 7:00 PM ET – MSG-B, BELL TV – WGR

[Moskau]

No one in the 2012 draft who has played a game has shown less then Grigorenko.

Only Yakupov has played on a team even close to being as bad as Buffalo.

 

[CatsforReinhart]

Have not heard Girgensons name much

 

[mikemcburn]

Perfect way to knock any confidence out of a guy; for every solid play, don't let him get a sniff of extra ice time, then bench him altogether for an imperfect pass. Whatever. One or both of Nolan/Hodgson will hopefully be gone soon and end this lame crap.

FYI, Grigorenko & Des were benched for the balance of the 2nd too. They've simply been allowed back into the ice first (and presumably for more in the 3rd).

EDIT: and for the irony of it, it just happens to be the two guys let out of the dog house first who end up down another goal, lol.

And?

He's been garbage in literally ever game except that one game against the Islanders two years ago. He is strong enough to play out here and is one of the biggest guys, his compete level is atrocious.

[Rhett4]

I assume you mean Grigorenko? There's a good reason for not hearing Girgensons.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Have not heard Girgensons name much

except when they read the injury reports

 

[Moskau]

And?

Young player success is 99% dependent on their team.

 

[Montag DP]

Ennis the Destroyer.

Matteau and Laughton

Yes I meant Grigorenko

What does he have one shift this period?

 

[Gras]

Now its a game.

 

[Montag DP]

Noice play.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

nice goal, but man the PP dies when they get it in the corner, everyone just stands around

 

[joshjull]

Yes I meant Grigorenko

What does he have one shift this period?

He's had several. He just isn't on the puck

 

[Beerz]

Moulson just bought his time on top line for the rest of the year.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Gotta love the Survivor point!

You think the reason he hasn't shown anything in the NHL is because the team he is on?

TO be fair they find;t do anything to cause the scoring chance. It was a shot block by Tootoo leading to a 1 on 1 between him and Weber and he won it and scored.

Whereas Hodgson made a poor choice with his pass to Des that led to a goal. Thus the benching. It may be harsh but he did do something that led to a goal. He should have taken the puck deep along the wall. Then either go to the net with it or look for someone crashing the net for a pass.

 

[Samsonite23]

Compher just roofed one keeping his hot streak going.

Tonight is going well.

 

[Beerz]

He's 20.

in LITERALLY every game?

You sure about that? He's produced in juniors and in the AHL. And that's because he wasn't playing on a putrid team.

given Hodgson's struggles I'd wager he has heard "don't give it away at the blue line 20-30 times this season, he should be benched everytime he does

 

[Montag DP]

That hand pass, lol.

NHL, I think you are smart enough to figure that out.
