GDT: Game 25: LA Lines Of Rocks @ Arizona Bag Of Rocks - 7PM - FSAZ - Houston Astros Appreciation Thread

[rt]

Goligoski has gone from liability on the PP to asset on the PP in the last 6wks.

Demers, apart from the inevitable once a game catastrophic blunder, has got a lot more reliable as well.

Hjalmarsson is the just the boss, obviously. El Hefe.

Connauton and Schenn is an absolute nightmare of a pairing. When Chychrun comes back and splits that pair of dog turds up, forcing one out of the lineup, this blueline will look pretty good.

Agreed(it would be jefe though).

I think Schenn had a good game against LA, but he's still been rough recently. He doesn't fit well with tocchet's system at all.

Once Chychrun is back hopefully the competition between the two for staying in the line up makes one of them play decently with some consistency, or we grab another bottom pairing guy for dirt cheap or off of waivers. Or maybe one of merman or hanley can steal a spot, it's not like the bar is all that high.

I'd love to trade for a defensive RD that's better than Demers but not as good as Hjalmarsson.

That would be a great get for our blue line, but I'm not sure we have the cap space or disposable pieces to do it.

Doesnt need to be a top 4. Just a solid bottom pairing guy, someone that potentially could be waived by another team and just needs a change of scenery. Ideally Schenn is a 7 and a great injury fill in. I wouldnt want to spend any more than a 2nd to add to our blueline.

Goligoski has really turned it around. I think he is a better fit in this system than Tippets. He is doing exactly what Chyaka said he wanted from him when we originally signed him. Hope he can keep this play up for the rest of the season and another 2 years.

PK improves to 87.2 and top 5 in the NHL in the Post-Domingue Era.

What a terrific hire Tocchet made in Scott Allen.

I was told everything was doomed

How about better than Schenn but not as good as Demers?

Petrovic.

Edit: Also love the idea of bringing on another player familiar with Allen's system.

I think Schenn is fine on the third pairing and once Chychrun is back, hopefully he replaces Kconn, no guarantees. Chychrun is still young though, could take him time to come back and he was scratched last year at times. I'm not worried about our third pairing though and don't think it is a difference maker. I think out top 4 needs to stay healthy for a while to solidify the pairings and matchup's. Also, it would be good if Raanta can get healthy quickly so we have a 2 goalie tandem for 20 games or more.

I think 4/33, 23/55 has worked better than 4/23, 33/55 did.

I imagine it’s because the dual digit dipshits each have a designsted babysitter.

Whatever works.

We lose, it's fire everyone. We win, it's a great hire. Funny how that goes.

I agree. I don't want to lose assets in another trade for a D. We have a couple of D in Tucson that can fill in, and KConn is fine 7th D as well.
