Player Discussion: Blake Coleman

[Letsgobolts21]

At this point he reminds me a bit of Point his rookie season from the simple fact of he can't buy a goal. I recall Point had a good number of chances and couldn't get one to go in. Eventually it happened.

I'm not comparing his game to Point's but based on the chances he's had he should have a goal for us now. I am hoping it's bad luck---but he sure does seem to shoot it right at the GK's chest alot.

He must really love tampa. Because he’s playing his way into being affordable next contract.

Thats some galaxy brain stuff on his part.

i like coleman unfortunately we are not running same lines and is NO great chemistry and that is bothersome right now

also fact that no one can seem to put the puck in net we got issues... we need a lot more then a power play to work this out....we getting chances someone a few of them would be nice to see go on little streaks

again want palat with johnson desperately as usual.... id like coleman on top line a bit myself see if kuch's passes can get him going

Will he score one these playoffs?

He looks pretty fast out there, but it is a shame he can't find the back of the net. Hopefully, he can get going soon

 

[These Are The Days]

Will he score one these playoffs?

Probably when we get world peace

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

He had 6 hits yesterday including this one

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Really impressed with Blake Coleman yesterday. Played hard

Considering we gave up a 1st for him at some point you have to expect a bit more out of him than 'hard play'.

 

[The Macho King]

We gave up a lot for two fourth liners.

We may have overpaid, but we didn't bring him in for scoring.

We brought him in for tenacity and to be hard to play against. Hopefully he finds some timely goals.

Exactly this. He was a scorer in NJD because they had nobody. He can focus on his real game Like shutting down the opponent and being a pest. Scoring will eventually come

 

[DFC]

He's been great so far today. First time I can really say that about him. Tenacious and tough as **** to play against. I don't even mind the penalty. Got his money's worth, at least.

He was like “yeeee-haw!”

 

[Lightning1995]

He was brought in for tenacity, yes. He was also brought in because Coleman had scored 20+ goals. Scoring depth in the playoffs is needed.

He needs to produce or it’s a bad trade. Period

 

[The Macho King]

He is crap. Someone has to score on a bad team and he was just the beneficiary.

I wouldn't say he is crap, but he's been playing like crap since he's got here.

 

[FinnLightning26]

He's been really meh so far. Goodrow has looked better of the two but it's not saying much. I'm really glad we gave up two firsts for these plugs.

 

[Outl4w]

We really need some depth players to step up with STammer and Hedman being hurt again for another playoff run. It sucks for them as individuals and the team.

 

[These Are The Days]

I've about given up on Coleman. His play away from the puck is great don't get me wrong. But Jesus Christ even Ryan Callahan managed to be more productive even by accident.


Absolutely not worth what we paid for him

 

[Steazy Doo]

Still to early to say if he's worth it or not. Not looking good though

 

[Shoresy Snipes]

Wasn't it really 3 first rounders?
