Pre-Game Talk: Season opener @ Blues

[Bluenote13]

ODC is really taking it up a notch, but come on, everyone is wrong sometimes, and no one hated that trade more than me, but enough with the Lisin crap, he's paid his dues.

Seriously, it's no secret, Rick Nash has to be better, more than any other forward, he has to produce.

 

[cwede]

...no one hated that trade more than me, but enough with the Lisin crap...

I convinced myself that the Werek/Lindberg trade offsets the Lisin/Korpi trade with Phoenix and Donnie M

Torts came in late, and pushed out most of the bottom 6 in offseason, without a backup plan
Dumping Orr led to Brashear/Boogaard/Scott
Dumping Betts led lots of late lost faceoffs
Dumping Betts, Sjostrom and Korpikoski led to recreating the PK

aside from Korpi, none were real major losses, but it didnt need to be so much at once

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Zuccarello wont outscore Nash this year (barring injury to either)

I would bet a lot on that

 

[ecemleafs]

nash is winning the richard

 

[*Bob Richards*]

nash is winning the richard

He did do it once!

 

[offdacrossbar]

i was talking points not goals.

mcdonagh will outscore nash in total points.

mcdonagh will outscore nash in total points.

if mcdonagh does that he will win the norris

 

[silverfish]

nash is winning the richard

I think he meant the 'Richards' as in, HFNYR's favorite "overpaid" player

No way. Richards was still here until this season! You can't beat out Richards for the Richards

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

so was i

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I think Zucc will get like 50-55 points this year. Nash, I could see getting 60-70. Because Nash is a legit first liner, and Zuccarello is a great depth scorer.

 

[offdacrossbar]

if mcdonagh does that he will win the norris

and is that so crazy really ?

last season

mcdonagh inc playoffs. total games played 102

total points 60

nash inc playoffs. total games played 90

total points 49

its NOT out of the question.

 

[SupersonicMonkey*]

Is it Thursday yet?

Drop the puck!

 

[Zil]

and is that so crazy really ?

last season

mcdonagh inc playoffs. total games played 102

total points 60

nash inc playoffs. total games played 90

total points 49

its NOT out of the question.

Nash played through a concussion addled season last year. The year before that he was a point per game scorer. We haven't seen nearly enough to say McDonagh's going to post more points than him.

Nash had the concussion.

 

[Ian]

Check out this tidbit: No NHL team has ever had three players wearing numbers 61, 62, and 63 in the lineup at the same time for a regular season game.

Start planning the parade.

 

[offdacrossbar]

Agreed, its wacky to think, we'd be in big trouble if that were that case too. But bringing up Lisin is everyones go to when ODC has an opinion. But yeah, Nash not outscoring MCD is out there

thanks for having my back bn, much appreciated. but its not a big deal.

i can take it. i was wrong. lisin wasnt the player i thought he would become. my bad. i ate and continue to eat a big plate of crow on that one.

im still sticking with my prediction though. mcdonagh will outscore nash this season.

 

[offdacrossbar]

Nash had the concussion.

yes.

do the math. its pretty close.

have you seen that nash shot ?

mcd is a norris type player. he has offensive skills and will get to display them a ton this season.

nick rash is well.... nick rash

again,if nash cant shoot he cant score. see playoffs....

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

yes.

the playoffs aren't the regular season

 

[JohnC]

again,if nash cant shoot he cant score. see playoffs....

That's not true

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

So Duclair made the cut? I guess I was wrong about that. I thought they would stick him in the AHL this year...

I should say I am happy that the kids are cracking the roster....

 

[SupersonicMonkey*]

yes.

do the math. its pretty close.

Nash was snakebit in the playoffs, i agree. But he was very good otherwise.

McDonagh may very well compete for the Norris. He is a superstar in the making.

What about Nash's shot, though? He looked very good in camp. Leaner. Quicker. Healthy.

I think this is a make or break year for Nash in NY.

 

[offdacrossbar]

That's not true

with that shot, hell have a hard time beating nhl goalies.

somethings happened to his shot.

its beyond bad now.

with rick nash, scoring has to be goals. he needs to score goals. period.
