Around the NHL III

[JohnC]

I can't say enough how beautiful those Wild 3rd jerseys are. Top 5 in the league

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Cam Janssen as a forward has scored 2 goals in 3 games this year. Not bad. Why is it newsworthy? Because before this season he had 3 goals in 313 games, 2 goals is his career high. Why is this guy in the NHL? The league really loses credibility when it has guys that just can fight and can't play hockey.

So what you're saying is... He has more goals than giroux.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

I've been watching Myers. Be careful what you wish for. He is terrible defensively. He looks like Brashear or Grimson but on defense. The Buffalo announcers stop pointing out his mistakes because he commits them to often.

I wouldn't trade stralman for him straight up. That's how bad he's been. Maybe as a 6th or 7th dman and second PP unit.

Maybe one day we'll find out what really happened to him.

Fresh to death.

Edit: Wait, that absurd Flames 3rd was real?

 

[nyr2k2]

How is it that Joel Ward has more goals than anyone on our team (I think)? I thought he was a 3rd liner.

Luck. He's a 10% shooter for his career and this year he's shooting 30%. It's completely unsustainable.

He's still a good player though. Wish we had him.

Didn't know where to put this, but, who would you guys/gals like to see as McDonagh's potential partner in Sochi?

Edit: Woops, move to McDonagh PP thread por favor?

McD is a lefty and Suter is a righty, sounds like a great two way pairing to me. Shattenkirk is also a RHD. Either of those two.

Erik Johnson is also a RD. Seth Jones is playing RD now with Weber but is a lefty. There's lots of options.

Four of thirty teams making up half of all jersey sales? None of those four are Toronto or Monteal.

Maybe other fan bases are turning to knock-offs?

Someone informed me Suter is a lefty too, coulda sworn Weber was the lefty but no! That's a shame woulda loved to see those two shutdown opponents together.

suter can also play the right side tho.

Seth Jones is a righty.

 

[Raspewtin]

McDonagh-Jones would be my pairing. Both big guys that are threats offensively and stellar defensively.

Has to be US only, right?

 

[Championship*]

As good as Seth Jones is playing, I don't think he makes the US team. He will have plenty of opportunities to throughout the course of his career.

 

[Blue Blooded]

Seth Jones is a righty.

Yup, and so is Weber. So that pairing has two righties, not two lefties.

Only lefty D in the Preds lineup is Ekholm. Pretty strange these days.

 

[Blue Blooded]

Only lefty D in the Preds lineup is Ekholm. Pretty strange these days.

Especially considering that RHD are in short supply in this league. Toronto only has one RHD in Franson, Philly had an all lefty D a few seasons ago.

 

[gary laser eyes]

Suter - Byfuglien
McDonagh - Carlson
Yandle - Shattenkirk
Martin - Orpik

Even though there are better options, you gotta have a guy like Orpik in there.

On the cusp: Jack Johnson, Erik Johnson, Gardiner, Faulk, Bogosian, Jones, Trouba

 

[silverfish]

Is Seth Jones really going to crack the US Olympic team? God, I hope not.

McDonagh - Carlson
Yandle - Shattenkirk

IMO there is no way Erik Johnson and Justin Faulk are NOT on the roster.

Orpik would be a train wreck on the big ice surface.

 

[Kokoschka]

Stamkos obviously in major pain. Hoping it's no too serious.

RT @erlendssonTBO: (Stamkos') right ankle took the brunt of the blow right into the post ... he's still down being looked at by team trainer

Stephen Whyno ‏@SWhyno 21s

Definitely looks bad in Boston, as Steven Stamkos is being placed on a stretcher.

Damn.

What happened?
