Bourque is basically Etem without the upside. Decent depth option, but not really needed
Not trying to single you out but this "full 60 minute effort" that everyone wants just isn't realistic. Momentum switches back and forth. Maybe it wasn't the Ducks effort lacking and it was the Wilds effort that picked up? Did the Wild put in a "60 minute effort"? I don't know when this "60 minute effort" became a thing but it really is annoying.
What does everyone expect? Us to control play the entire game and anything less isn't effort the entire game? Other teams are going to score, and other teams are going to control the play for parts of the game just as the Ducks do. We got the win. Be happy (except for the injury).
Ok, so that expression is a little vague, I get that and I'll try and not use it in the future.
What I tried to say is that I'd like to see the level of play be more consistent. Not domination/full control/whatever, but having some consistency. And yes, there are momentum swings between the two teams in a match, but a 3-0 lead shouldn't turn into a 3-4 deficit during the span of 20-ish minutes. That is a result of our level of play taking a dip for the worse, which Minny was able to capitalize.
Finally, I'm happy that this one was marked in the W column. I also understand that this team is dealing with all kinds of stuff right now. I just wanted to point out that there is still a lot to improve going forward.
Yup. Just like you said, that trade seems like a net negative with all the financial implications. Especially with the timing where the defensemen hadn't come back yet and Murray essentially counted his chickens before they hatched. Then the additional injuries led to the panic trade for Brewer.I'll just speak for myself on this. I don't hate Borque. But he brings nothing more as a forward than Allen brought as a defenseman. A nice pass? A good hit? Really? But instead of having this be the last year of Allen's contract, we took on an extra year of bad contract for a plug who does nothing more for us than Allen did.
I don't expect Bob to always bring in top flight talent, but the contract situation makes this deal a real stinker. And Bob deserves full "credit" for it.
Etem is better than Bourque, the problem is BB constantly shifts Etem to the left side, when he's alot better, and more effective on the right
When Perry was out with the mumps I believe he played on the right side.has be played on the right side for the NHL team? i dont believe so. he lined up on the left side with thompson and jackman
left side for getzy n perrs
