I thought the same thing. Way too big.Is it just me, or are the score graphics for the Monumental network kinda large?
NAK doesn't seem to be in Carbery's immediate good graces (based on early lines), and taking an offensive zone penalty isn't going to help things. I think he's a perfectly viable 4th liner, but he takes far too many penalties.
early and obviously doesn't matter but boy does McIlrath just suck so bad...

to hear Kuznetsov talk about it that's got Lavi's stamp all over it. Right after their hot December Lavi said "we're playing playoff hockey now" and then they lost like 25+ games from then on and crapped out on the season. Wouldn't be surprised if he wanted some tough guy D to muck it up and sometimes clear the zone when he's lucky.I really want to know whose idea it was to give him significant time with the Caps last season when they were still fighting for a playoff spot.
Based on the Edmundson acquisition I feel like calling up McIlrath was a BMac attempt to "get tough" last year. Fission mailed.
Oh is that who that was, I thought it was Strome's 17 and thought it was pretty uncharacteristic of him to not expect the pass there but went "well that's preseason for you I guess"Awful read by Suzdalev there leads to the breakaway. That wasn't a terrible pass by Fehervary, Suzdy just whiffed on the reception and then the Sabres were off to the races. Good speed by Fehervary to catch back up.

it's a weird number for him, he seems like he'd be a high numbers guy no matter whatI had to pull up the training camp roster to figure out who 14 was

I don't have the same impression you do about GMBM, I think he listened to his coach and did about as much as he was willing to do to work with him without making a trade he knew wouldn't move the needle anyway
I sincerely doubt that GMBM is as harsh as he is on Backstrom and what he level he needs to be at for the team and then turns around and watches McIlrath like "yes, this is what I wanted".Laviolette doesn't explain the Edmundson trade though. I know I'm lower on Edmundson than most and he's certainly not as bad as McIlrath, but it seems like the same sort of move.
I'm not even against pushing Alexeyev to 7D but I think Edmundson is the exact wrong type of player to play 6D, just like McIlrath was last year. That's why I wonder if it truly was Laviolette pushing for McIlrath last year.
