Really? I've never heard Simmonds labeled dirty. Even other teams fans usually don't describe him that way. Gudas they do, or used to.

Simmonds is not at the level of a Malkin or Wilson but he is involved in 1-2 questionable plays a year where other teams' fanbases are calling for suspension. He also gets more than his share of extra shots in after the whistle or away from the play.

Stone-Schiefele-Wheeler would be the best line in hockey. I don’t know who would play the left side, but Jesus.

McKenzie is on the WPG wanting Stone train too.

Maybe too good. Like maybe it'd be better to put Stone with Laine to get him going, and then give Stone extra time here and there.

For a guy with glass knees, he plays and talks like a real dope. One more good lower body hit, say a Gudas hip check, and this clown's career could be over.

I hope Gudas wrecks him with a good hard CLEAN body check and he needs help getting off the ice. Been listening to his ignorance for far too long. Maybe that would shut him up. Maybe.

It's crazy to think that as good as Giroux has been for us, he is 30 points behind Kuch!

Yeah the Flyers PP being awful has had a good effect on Giroux’s & others overall points. Giroux was 12th in 5v5 scoring coming into tonight (38P), Couturier 51st (29P), & Voracek 77th (26P).

Kucherov was 1st with 47 5v5 points coming into tonight.

It's funny that 4 of the top 10 players in points right now probably aren't even going to make the playoffs. That's almost half of them.

Didn't even notice what a great season Patrick Kane is having. He's quietly been one of the best players in the league.

Just goes to show you how overrated "star" players are to team success, seems you actually need a team to win.

Except Gudas has had about the same career since the trade, and we got a 1st and 3rd to boot!
They needed Coburn that year due to the Gudas injury.

Vegas is kind of a disaster right now. The Brandon Pirri magic wore off and basically everyone is slumping, including the top line and Tuch, so they're having a hard time scoring goals. Fleury's been worked to death this season and he's starting to show cracks.

They probably don't have the pieces to get a Panarin or Duchene. I don't think Simmonds does anything for them because this is a team that wants to make plays at high speed, and Wayne can't do that.

I kinda think they should just hunker down and play it conservative, try to sign a free agent and hope that Glass helps them next year.

I actually think Montreal might low-key be a good fit. Their PP also sucks, no one on the team has more than 4 PP goals. That team is definitely on the small/finessey side too.
