TT needs to stay in the top six.
Svedberg and Gus are rookie defenseman. TvR is the exception, not the rule. They're inconsistent, but they bring different things. They need to make mistakes at this level in order to grow. I'd much rather them see time than Rundblad/Rozi.
This team is starting three rookie defenseman. Just noticed that.
Garbutt can play. He's got enough skill to be a top six band aid.
This might be the year the rest of the league and their fans realize just how solid Crawford is.
Anisimov is our #2C. Full stop. He's been everything we've hoped and more.
Think Hartman is the odd man out if Hossa is good to go. Seems to be pressing a bit and unsure of what he's supposed to be at this level.
Wow, was reviewing posts before i posted.
This is exactly what I was going to say.
TT must be in top 6, or wasted. I like Sved and Gus, I posted that in game, they are fine, much better than #5. MUCH.
How good as AA been. I was posting stuff the CBJ fan had about AA. I mean I was way way wayyyyyyy wrong on how good Timmo was going to be but I was right about AA being great, he would be great, the haters had no clue. I mean wow is he perfect for Kane. Like others have said, way better than Richards D wise, and more solid on the O side as well, his game will be more consistent. Our #1 and #2 C's are as good as anyone.
Hartman I thought was worst player on the ice, both teams. Looks lost. Tero can play. I think he might make it. He looks close to scoring or doing stuff.
I am not a Dano fan at all. He is bad defensively and seems to float, but I like he has an edge to his game and was pushing and shoving and that's a good sign.
Great win.
