[Perratrooper]

Am I alone in feeling like Kamenev has a possibility of being our #2C if he continues to play this way?

If he can add a touch of speed and we give him two scoring wingers it could be lights out.

 

[Raucherhusten]

I never said give up on him, but he sure as hell needs to be playing second fiddle at the moment as he hasn't looked anywhere close to as good as Varly this year.

And my counter to all of your stats over the past couple seasons is yes they look great, but he also had one hell of a good team in front of him, in fact that team was President's trophy good two years ago and Stanley Cup winners last year good. Now he doesn't have that kind of supporting cast, and the numbers have slipped.

He needs to prove that he can play at a high level when his team isn't one of the elite teams of the league. Which to this point this season he hasn't shown.

We just won a hockey game in a great come-from-behind fashion and the only thing you can do is bashing our goalie til the sun comes up. We get it, you don't like him. Get over it.

 

[UncleRisto]

He chooses to live in Wyoming so... also he doesn't love Varly.

Yeah, and he's so emotional about the NTDP.

 

[avsfan09]

The hunk that is known as Ryan Gosling.

He may be a dapper fellow but he jerks off just like the rest of us.

I'm happy with the result, nice to see the MacK and Rantanen carry the team to a victory. Doesn't mean I can't be disappointed with our goalie, and some of the softies he let in, that forced us to have a miracle comeback. It's not sustainable hockey, he need to be better.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I thought Calvert actually had an effective game.

Jost missed Wilson

He was good at skating fast tonight. Hes kinda like a Cody Mcleod who doesnt fight.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Give Vlad Kamenev more ice time, and boot Matt Calvert to the moon

The moon aint far enough

 

[The Merchant]

This thread is taking a turn

 

[avsfan09]

Am I alone in feeling like Kamenev has a possibility of being our #2C if he continues to play this way?

Nope. He actually has poise and intelligence to go along with size and skill. Not to mention he seems to have good discipline.

I'm doing nofap November

It would be amazing for someone his size to become a legit #2.

I don't really think 2C is in his future, but I can definitely see him becoming the team's 3C long term.

Lmao. Do you just avoid all the Lauren Garner interviews? Also sorry drinking dirty whiskey.

 

[The Kingslayer]

This. 2C guy should have a little more offense to his game. Not saying Kamenev doesnt have that but im seeing a solid 3C type player from him and thats fine by me. If Kamenev can be that for us then that trade looks even more lopsided.

 

[The Kingslayer]

My no nut November ended after Mikko set up Mackinnon in that Boston game.

 

[Avs_19]

Am I alone in feeling like Kamenev has a possibility of being our #2C if he continues to play this way?

I can't go as high as 2C right now but I could see him as a top 9 forward on a good team. Maybe he could take over the Soderberg role eventually. He has been playing really well recently and the points should come if he continues this play and gets some better linemates.

 

[Foppberg]

Oh yeah I agree. I meant for the rest of this season. This year and beyond realistically I would see him as our #3C, but a high end one. Like Soda 2.0

 

[PAZ]

I definitely wasn't high on Kam, but he looks like he's a nice find. I know everyone talks how bad of a trade it was for Ottawa... but the trade for Nashville looks pretty brutal value-wise as well, it just doesn't matter since they're one of the best teams in the league and filled a need... but it's starting to look like it's Girard (#2D), Kamenev (#3C), 2018 2nd for Turris (#2C).

LOL she does test me sometimes actually. I have a soft spot for redheads so that doesnt help at all.

 

[Frobbo]

Couple of thoughts:

Grubs made several tough stops to keep them in it. Bednar must've liked what he saw against Wash to start him again. I am gonna trust his judgement over some of the naysayers on this board, for now.

Jost was invisible tonight. One good dig at the end of the game was the only positive that I saw all game.

Ducks have a different persona compared to the old days. No BS after the whistle, less physical.

Really bad penalty by Z, seemed even worse than some of the ones he has caught grief for in the recent past.

The team really struggles with the next 2-3 shifts after scoring.

Mee too man haha. Redheads>all ahha.

 

[Foppberg]

I thought Jost was good. Nothing huge but simple smart plays.

I'm telling HR.

Hide ur kids, hide ur redheads...
