Miscellaneous NHL Talk XXII

[GapToothedWonder]

because they have never EVER been the benefactors of a call late in a game. they ***** and moan about every call against them. Julien is the worst about it. They are upset about it? good. I hope it happens again.

What I meant was they were losing their minds on Lucic, they agreed it was a penalty they just think he is an idiot.

 

[Appleyard]

Dupuis skating before practice.

Phew... pretty great news, must just have trapped a nerve or something. That could have been 100x worse.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Lucic fined $5,000.

 

[Appleyard]

Nurse has seemingly been sent back to junior.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Lucic fined $5,000.

Is that face because you think it should have been more or less? I think it was a border-line penalty and should absolutely not have been any supplemental discipline (unless the fine is for the penalty box gesture, then I guess whatever who cares).

Don't care about the penalty. It's for the penalty box gesture. Players shouldn't ever do that crap with the fans. The Stanley Cup lift is foolish to begin with but I don't care about that one. It's the other one. In the grand scheme of things it isn't a big deal but I can't stand Lucic.

Nurse has seemingly been sent back to junior.

How did nurse look? I've been very interested in seeing how he developes, but I live in philly so it's hard to see certain players when you're out of market and work 70 hours a week lol

So Johnny Hockey either might get sat a game or sent to minors.

Change of attitute from some Flames fans who said he was easily a Calder Trophy finalist.

I like Johnny, but watching him during the NCAA tournament, he didnt strike me as a cant miss player.

 

[Jtown]

I like gaudreau, but in the few games I saw him he just looked really timid and out of place.

He needs some time in the ahl to work against bigger guys and develop his body more.

Gotcha. Yeah I don't care one way or another. I don't mind players getting into it with the fans (obscenely or otherwise), but I completely understand when they get in trouble.

not sure how he looked but its probably for the best he isn't around that dumpster fire of a team right now.

he looked pretty bad.

Nurse didn't look ready. It's the kind of situation where he may benefit best with a year in the AHL before hitting the NHL.

 

[Funf]

Does anyone know of a site that has the player usage/linemate/corsi data that extraskater use to have? I miss those player usage charts. I've found a couple sites that provide game by game corsi data, and season long corsi data, but nothing like extraskater's charts and line mate data for those 'with or without you' stats.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Nurse is still a good prospect. what is he 19? probably would of been in junior before the season in most organizations. I still think he is going to be a good player down the line.

Correct he turns 20 in February. I am interested to see how he progresses. He is very inconsistent in his play like alot of young players. Also seems to struggle abit defensively. He does remind me of a player that will need the AHL.

Yesterday most were saying that he has been either very good in 2 games, or not really noticable in the others.

Yeah...fans should not be worried about him going back down. We did the same with Morin.

Using a combo of stats.hockeyanalysis.com and behindthenet.ca works pretty well. hockeyanalysis has a with or without you page for each player in the NHL in each game situation.

Hopefully Nurse doesn't have a team mate with a really inaccurate slap shot. Or he'll need a doctor.

Groan. I'd have said that patience is key with Nurse.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I guess you could say they're nursing him along.

 

[OrangeAndBlackMetal]

I guess you could say they're nursing him along.

They're probably hoping he provides Mor-in the future.

 

[Tripod]

Lol...here is an article about how badd Mez has been.

[Garbage Goal]

Read this in the Buffalo GDT so I assume it's true:

Nick Bjugstad had a perfect +24 Corsi, he was not on the ice for a shot against or attempted...

lol Buffalo is so terrible.
