Player Discussion Julien Gauthier

[True Blue]

He was more noticeable. Problem is yea Quinn will get Blackwood back in

That is not a problem as aside from last game in which Blackwell did not play, he has been a lot better. So yeah, I would expect him to get back in and Gauthier to be scratched.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Always the wrong brothers

Except for Lundqvist, Moore, Hayes and Howden

Always the wrong brothers

I go back and forth of Gauthier. In some ways I see another Marcel Hossa—that is a guy who won't score enough to stay in the lineup. And then there are times, like last night, where I see a guy who can add value even if he doesn't score. I do think that the minute he scores his first goal, that might kick-start something.

Howden has a brother?

And wasn't Moore better than Dom until Bertuzzi?

 

[True Blue]

I do think that the minute he scores his first goal, that might kick-start something.

I remember seeing similar comments about Jeff Toms.

Seriously, could it just be that he needs to get off the snide? Perhaps. I certainly hope so. But as Hossa goes, remember the 10 game spurts? Score a goal in a game. Play well the second game. Score a goal or get an assist in the third. Slow down in the 4th, but still be visible on PK. Disappear for the next 5.

Injuries affect careers. Dom Moore had the better career. And yeah, Howden's brother plays in Sweden. Pierre McGuire thought it was "Funny" because Howden fought Kapanen who is from Finland.

It's been a week and I still don't understand what the funny part was. I guess McGuire thinking Finland and Sweden being the same place

Pierre thinks Finland and Sweden hate each other. Like Kaako can't stand the sight of Mika.

Yeah, he always brings this up in broadcasts, and it really annoys me. Finns and Swedes are rivals in sports and not much else. We're actually quite close and get along by-and-large.

I doubt Pierre has ever spent a day in either Finland or Sweden actually exploring and getting to know the country's history.

I thought he played well last night and earned another start. He was really fast with the puck which led to good entries. He needs to get a break and bury one so we can see what he looks like when he has confidence.

I don't disagree.

 

[Larrybiv]

This kid needs to break his virginity already. 23 NHL games and no goals to show for his efforts. Would really like him to do well, his size and speed should get him more chances than what he has gotten. Get one, and then you never know.

 

[Reway10]

I'd give him a chance on 2nd PP unit, I like his shot

Is Pierre making an inside joke for himself? so Meta. Doesn't he have multiple stories about Swedes and Finns hating each other?

Ma, I did it!

 

[Larrybiv]

Haha, thought I would get some accolades for forcing Gauth into getting his 1st. with my "well wishes". Not even a thank you from his Mom. Timing is everything.

Really could see him being a good contributor to this team. A matter of him simply getting over to the side that says "you belong here" and do whatever you can. Man, if he ever developed a mean streak and used his body in "his role", that might suit the teams needs just as well as getting on the scoresheet. 3rd line would be his goal, I SUPPOSE.

 

[JohnC]

Don’t know how it happened but he doesn’t suck anymore

 

[Captain Monglobster]

Don’t know how it happened but he doesn’t suck anymore

He realized he was bigger than everyone.

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

I think they are trying to bury him so his next contract will be (close to) league minimum. He’s up at the end of the season.

This sounds like a Gorton conspiracy

Maybe he just sucks dude idunno

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Quinn started playing him.

 

[Vitto79]

So who’s getting scratched when Panarin and then Chytil return ?

 

[RGY]

Quinn started playing him.

I dont know if I would constitute 7 minutes and 8 minutes of ice time in back to back games as Quinn “playing” him.

 

[Synergy27]

This kid is going to be a really good player 4 years from now on another team.
