Any word on gudbranson?

Getzlaf has been crawling through the 30s in terms of points. There’s chance he doesn’t actually hit 50 anymore. It would be a sad state of affairs if we don’t have a 50 point guy two years in a row.

I am hoping someone like Rakell, Silf, or Getz go on a tear, and hit 50 points, would need a few 2-3 point games for that to happen, But with this team..

The lack of even a decent PP is one of the reasons. You figure 10-15 more goals would get to about a 20% PP which is decent/ok. 3 players usually pick up points on a PP goal. That’s easily 30 to 45 points that can be spread out among players.

Getzlaf and Rakell have lost all creativity lately. Hopefully they can get back on track.
3-1 Vegas win

Is Backes playing?

I would highly doubt it, would think he will need a few days at least to get up to speed and in game shape.

 

[bumperkisser]

When they interviewed him Backes said he'd need at least a week

He also lacks the supporting cast of years past. That’s good for a 10/15 point decline in itself

Grant being held out for a trade

 

[bsu]

Nooooo

 

[George Binks]

Fingers crossed for a 2nd, but deep down I know it’s prolly like a 5th

 

[Goose of Reason]

Whatever the return, he better re-sign here in the offseason.

Whatever the return, he better re-sign here in the offseason.

I mean, even if he doesn't, I fully expect Bob to trade a fringe prospect and a mid-round pick to get him back next January.

Gibson is gonna have to score some goals himself tonight. Vegas has been hot.

Did I miss what happened to Fowler? Too Getzlaf to go back and check.

 

[bsu]

Our defense is f***in pathetic, from riches to rags. Good job Murray. I'd take bieska or sbisa over half our defense.

Montour
Theodore
Vatanen
Pettersson

Well, Id say that taking Bieksa in the first place was the reason we lost some of the latter.

It's on NBCSN... no wonder why's it'a 7pm tilt b/c usually it's a 5pm game. And as for Grant, in the lyrics of Weezer, "Say it aint so....!"
