By the way, those calling Hubie the best player on the team ahead of Barkov really aren’t watching (or don’t know how to watch) what Barky does out there, he’s often the screen that critically contributes to the goal, or he’s the one who strips the puck from their D and keeps it in the zone, and he’s the one the other team is most worried about which leaves space for Hubie and Dads to do their thing.

Put Hubie with Tro and Hoff and let’s see if he can get even close to the level he’s at. Still, Hubie is playing fantastic and is the team’s second best forward.

The last time I can remember when Trocheck was good, it's because he had Huby on his wing... Vinnie is becoming garbage more and more it's crazy !

Yeah looks like we are a two line team. 1st and 4th. Others don't seem to get much done. Personally i liked Tro more with Malgin and Vatrano not sure why they didn't get a better look.

So we’re 6th in the conference and 10th in the league right now with 10-5-5, but some would say we’re playing .500 hockey.

Jeez two thirds of the teams must really suck right?

Funny we're tied for the 5th fewest regulation losses in the league, yet nobody ever talks about that. That dang loser point ruining the game!!! We're one of the best teams in the league. 3 on 3 and shootout is just a crapshoot.

Exactly... Still think we have the éléments to have another line though !

Malgin is growing on me... Always liked Vatrano, Hoffman can play, love what Connolly brings... Boyle is a great player but a fourth-liner IMO... And Trocheck is Trocheck... But things aren't clicking !

So now playoffs are determined with only régulation wins ? Didn't get the memo on that... Guess we're really doomed, the year we are on pace for 100+ points with a good coach and good players...

So what's our point totals ? 12 ? Because of the 6 wins in regulation ? We must be at the bottom of the league right now with the Sens... What a crappy team the Panthers are !

I thought i saw Yandle creeping up on the pairings while Matheson was with Pysyk.

Do you guys think Q is warming up to Yandle with more icetime and putting Matheson on 3rd pairing?

It wouldn't surprise me. Yandle's pulled himself out of that terrible funk he was in to begin the season.

Im all for Voynov. Im sure Tallon will look at him when the time comes, and he will probably sit down with the leaders of the team, and see what they think. Think there is enough leadership in the lockeroom to keep him in check.

Any idea why Hunt is on waivers?

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Any idea why Hunt is on waivers?

Probably too many penulties, 24 mins already while Acciari and Sceviour have 2mins each.

 

[FrolikFan67]

Any idea why Hunt is on waivers?

No clue. Weegar coming back and then Pysyk up front? I’d really love if they brought Greco up.

He and his wife both claim that he didn't do anything. If he was a white American or Canadian he would be still playing in the NHL, but he is one of those "people who come here". No, even worse he is Russian...

I'm all for second chances for people who have done their time, I just don't know if I want to spend my money on and root for that guy on my favorite hockey team.

Food for thought:

Varlamova told police that Voynov then kicked her five to six times while on the ground. She said she screamed for him to stop.

When she rose, the report said, Voynov pushed her into the corner of a flat-screen television mounted on the wall, opening a gash above Varlamova’s left eye. Varlamova said the couple’s bedroom was “covered in her blood.”

When he scores a goal or makes a good play, I don't know how that image won't play in my mind every time. Voynov will be just fine if he never plays in the NHL again.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

This is a discussion that's going to make people upset on both sides, so all I can say is, I'm staying out of it unless the team does decide to pursue him.

Which I'm pretty sure they won't.

Yeah, that doesn't sound like an account of a woman who just made it up. That's pretty specific and gory.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Small potatoes compared to what goes on in the nfl so wouldn't be surprised if he gets another chance. And tbh not going to pretend I care one way or the other.

Later she said he didn't do anything, you can choose what to believe. I'm not saying that he hasn't done it, but based on that we can't be sure. And no matter what happened, he and his wife seem to be on good terms.

I'm all for Voynov but dont think he'll come cheap as you as you guys think

It's hard not to think though where there is smoke there is fire.

Panthers highlights start at 45 minute mark. Dude was insane.

Imagine him in today's game with today's sticks...triple digits in season goals...?

He isnt better than MacDavid or Mackinnon as a skater if anything they are on par. And his overall skill level isnt really better than them. SO you can expect goal production to be similar to Mackinnon not as good as Macdavid.

Still, he put up those numbers in a time when it was a lot harder to score - clutch and grab, big goalie equipment, defensive tactics (still the two line pass?). Not faster than MacD and MacK but the much purer scorer IMO

Goal production not as good as McDavid? Bure would be battling for the Rocket Richard trophy every season if he played now.

Yeah but at the time his speed made him a threat he was faster than most players on the ice. In today's game his speed wouldn't be as much of an advantage I'l agree that perhaps he has more finishing ability than MacDavid or Mackinnon as a goal scorer but he lacks the vision and playmaking ability of MacDavid as well as his overall skill level. He also lacks the physical aspect of Mackinnon's game. Overall he would be a top 5 goal scorer maybe some years as the best scorer.
