Around the League: It Smells Like Hockey!

Blues fans don't seem to thrilled with their new $5M toy Bozak.

I do believe you but where did you see that?

As much as I liked Bozak with our Leafs, I'm thrilled that the Blues are the ones paying him $5.0M. He is not worth anywhere near $5.0M IMHO.

Jet's Marko Dano claimed by Colorado.

I'm predicting it now: Next summer the Blues buy out Bozak and he comes back to the Leafs at under $1M AAV to be the team's 4th line center.

Still can't believe they paid $5 mill

that wouldn't even bother me too much.

me either. i like Bozak a lot but wouldn't pay that.

what were they thinking?

they obviously didn't watch the earlier games in the Show Me State

 

[Faltorvo]

what were they thinking?

ok well,,,you tell me

on this years roster

JVR+Bozak+carrick

or

Kappy(finally getting top 6 ice)+JT+OZ and we save 500k ish cap

LOL. They're not sheltering him like Babcock did. He's facing top 6 competition and getting destroyed.

Komarov is off to a horrid start as well.

Subtract Nylander, for now.

 

[Faltorvo]

Subtract Nylander, for now.

was just trying to line them up with roles/slot out and in

boz/JT =top 3 C on team

carrick/OZ =6th/7th D

kappy/jvr top 6 offensive winger.

no ADD to the team has caused the " no nylander" , him not here is not due to a roster +/- trade off.

Bozak was always good at faceoffs and shootouts, and not much else.

Not sure why you think Komarov is "off to a horrid start". He's playing on a shutdown line as usual, and has been on the ice for only one goal of the 10 allowed. Second in pk ice time, and hasn't allowed a goal. Second in hits, second among forwards in blocks, no giveaways, two takeaways, 6 for 9 in faceoffs and tied for 6th on the team in +/-.

Did you expect him to be battling Matthews for the scoring lead?

33.3 CF%, 26.8 FF%, 11-21 scoring chance differential, 0-7 high danger scoring chance differential.

Those are pathetic stats even for a 'defensive specialist' like Komarov.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Thought the DOPS got it right with the Matheson suspension

So he's not generating scoring chances.

He's also not allowing goals (which I thought was the point) while playing on the team that was the worst in goals allowed last year.

agreed, no need for the WWE bodyslam imo. O Dog didn't agree with the decision, says "might as well take hitting out of the game" I thought that was a wee bit over the top.

The goalie's not allowing goals. Komarov's line is giving up chance after chance.

 

[Suntouchable13]

The Wings tank game is strong. I bet Habs fans are not too impressed

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Red Wings now 0-4-2. Woof.

 

[rumman]

Red Wings now 0-4-2. Woof.

kinda glad Mike Ilitch isn't around to see his Red Wings stuggling.

 

[mallory67]

Wow. Dylan Strome has 50% of Arizona's goals this season ... IMPRESSIVE.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Red Wings now 0-4-2. Woof.

Remember when they were undefeated in the pre-season until the Leafs played them in the last game?

 

[Pi]

Red Wings now 0-4-2. Woof.

It’s impressive that their goal differential is already -16.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Heh Pleks with his 1000th game and he scored.

 

[BertCorbeau]

And Vegas loses Statsny for 2-3 months. That hurts.

Patches with 1 goal, that's his only point, in 6 games so far. Ouch. He should improve though.
