With everyone healthy and Robertson in the top 9 ...

Kind of ironic that a player so vanilla like Pierre Engvall could stir up so much emotional energy.
You're not wrong about his weaknesses but I also don't think he's going to be here for the long haul, so think of him as an interchangeable part with some pros and cons.

I’d like him out of our organization , again , just watch that game if you have the stomach to and look at him from now on , what the Hell does he do ??? Really other than the very odd shift , what does he offer , I know for a fact that real athletes and hockey players and teammates can’t stand players of his ilk in their dressing rooms .
They are the worst of the worst , you will take players that aren’t especially talented but that give it everything they have , but no one ever that I’ve ever been associated with in any sport player or coach of any kind will ever ever have respect for a player that is a chicken shhhh and doesn’t have their back when push comes to shove

I guess I come from a different era of life and of sports
And I guess I just want to win and my team to win or at least compete with honour

I like some old school from time to time, but never really went looking for those qualities in Pierre Engvall.
Frederik Gauthier though was definitely someone who wasted his immense old school potential. Gentlest giant.

I’m not saying that players have to fight or hurt other players or do crazy things on the ice
Toughness comes in different ways and for different players they can show it in different ways as well ..
I consider AM a very tough player now , mentally and Physically at the highest level

Lololol that’s awesome
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long years
Stole million man's soul an faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I think Engvall has 2 pretty good skills which is straight away speed and the ability to rag the puck around. Add reach as well as a natural attribute. Fairly limited application but there are some moments where it comes in handy. Maybe a good slap shot, but we don’t see it that much.
In terms of being a beast on the forecheck, completing a check or adding any kind of feisty play, I don’t think you’ll get what you’re looking for.

Oh I know not only I but we won’t get that at all
That’s very obvious friend ...
There has to be other players in our organization that can add that to our team
lol
Engvall has been fine. He's done his job. Lay off the cocaine, man.

Don’t take drugs of those kinds brotha
Don’t need them ...
If you say that a player who displays those qualities has been fine for us , or any team , and if you think trying to achieve greatness through hard work and dedication to your craft and those around you aren’t good solid foundations to aspire to , than I’m glad you’ve never been on my teams or that I’ve never coached you ...
But that’s cool , to each his own
I however like to hang with people and have had the privilege of being around “ old school “ players and teammates that I’m proud to say that I’ve been a part of ..on many levels that would tolerate those qualities
It’s interesting when I hear people’s responses to desiring hard work and dedication and some balls within and around you , that the reply is “ Lay off the cocaine “
Go Leafs go

I actually really like Engvall and would like to see him as a fixture in the bottom six and on the PK.

The thread is hyperbole, but Engvall has struggled this season. 5 on 5 and on the PK. I still believe we need him in the lineup when we are fully healthy though.

I had hoped for a better start to his season too. Still, I don't know that I'd be eager to see them part with him just yet.

The main reasons why and how we have failed in the last playoffs we’ve been in , is in the work or lack there of , of our bottom 6 .
We have matched and sometimes even over matched our opponents with our top 6 fire power , so that hasn’t been our downfall ..
But the toughness and passion and aggression of the bottom 6 of theirs ...
They have over matched us with their dogged and tough and tough commitment to the games .
We haven’t been able to match them there , be it Boston, Washington , Columbus , even in our regular season games , our bottom six traditionally have let us down in terms of toughness ( I don’t mean fighting and that sort of play )
We need to address this before we can move forward and compete
Think back to Boston’s Bottom Six in those series and also Washington’s ..
I hope we do

Odd angry thread over such a support player. We are in good shape if this is a big problem.
