''I'm still suffering from lower body soreness. Pains on my ass from wearing out a hole in the seat of the press box. Gimme some time to get back into game shape''.Lol what the hell could Stafford possibly have to add?
If I was any one of the young guys this would actually piss me off. I’d be thinking “why the **** am I being lectured to by slug footed old men who haven’t produced jack shot and are getting paid 5x as much as I am while we have been he knew carrying this team to where it is?”
Someone really should be waived for him, maybe Jimmy Hayes? We barely use the game as it is.Waive his ass, bring up JQ.
Sure would have. Would have also been nice for mrazek to cough up a juicy rebound or 2 all night. or his defensemen to not block shots right in front. Mrazek was really on. He wasnt giving space to shoot on anyone, his positioning was great. its not like PZ was missing empty nets. my point was the kid did exactly what you want, he got the puck on net every chance he could
how do you know they are lecturing? maybe they are admitting their faults.
He’s playing better than earlier but not better than last season...whoopdeedoo?He is playing a LOT better than he did earlier in the season.
If you deny this, you are just not being fair or aren't watching.
and Mark Scheiefele is a good example of what you asked about. Niederreiter, Kesler too.
Zacha has really got to work on his shot over the summer. He has been great in all areas literally except for the shot.
I thought today he played a great game, as he has been doing for about the past month.
Sounds like the meeting was much too short for that.

Comparing Zacha to those guys...apples and oranges. Do we not have enough experience with these same circumstances in previous prospects to recognize red flags when they are evident? Bergfors, Tedenby, Josefson. To a lesser extent Zharkov, Loktionov, Matteau. Contrast those guys with what we saw early on with prospects that actually did pan out or appear to be panning out now...Henrique, Bratt, Hischier, Wood.
Enough is enough already. I’m not falling for this crap again. Until/unless Zacha improves significantly I’m not holding out hopes that he’s going to turn out as expected at this point.
I agree. I don’t think Cory is better than average. But I’m not sure that’s as big of a problem as it sounds...plenty of teams these days win the ultimate prize with average goalies.We don’t have a top 10 goalie and we don’t have a former 6 overall pick. I’ve come to terms with this.
Hey, cliched hockey answer! Great leadership.
And honestly, what the **** is Greene gonna say in that meeting when he's the worst defenseman on the team and personally responsible for the team losing 3 games in that 6 games losing streak?

A top 6 center prospect not panning our may actually be more troublesome. After Hischier it looks bleak.
Boyle “Kids, I’m slow, I can’t keep up”
Stafford “I’m barely playing but I’ve been around awhile, y’all got to player harder every night”
Schneider “I know I know, I’ve got to play better but there aren’t any other options so suck it”
Greene “Kids, I put the flint stones vitamins you all love so much on the steering wheel of your race car beds. Make sure when you go home you brush your teeth before bed. We’ll talk about this tomorrow.”
Yea, because we didn't draft McLeod and he hasn't been tearing it up in the OHL and probably could have made this team and stayed on it if not for a knee injury in the preseason.
They also didn't draft another talented player from Sweden that can play wing or center in Boqvist.

Zacha Tonight:
Buuuut 0 points. Clearly the only stat that matters.
No it’s not comparable. What do you know about their development across their first 2-3 seasons? Were you following those teams closely? You know for a fact they didn’t show definitive improvement year over year until they broke out? What did their numbers in juniors/minors look like?why is it apples and oranges? It is very similar, actually
bigger, "power" forwards that struggled to put up points immediately but still became good to great NHL players. Thats exactly what you asked for and I provided examples. and that was just off the top of my head. I am sure I could find more if I dig into it more.
Yeah but having zacha be good makes those other guys tempting trade chips to improve other areas. Shame just a shame
