Pre-Game Talk: Sens @ Panthers 3/10

[FLpanthers16]

Would really like for Huby to go on a tear to end the season just so he can top the 54 points last year.


Just feel like he has so much more then 54 in him.

No kidding. I wish there was an option to turn injuries off, for this team.

Mike Hoffman of the Sens may be available this summer. I would love to have him in our top 6. He is always impressive when he gets the puck on our stick. We'll need to cover him well if we want to win.

 

[Gentle Man]

Regression is real is the actual reason.

Or a rough stretch, like every other team has had except Washington.

Or PDO.

Huberdeau for Hoffman could be possible.

Prefer not to give up that much for Hoffman personally.

I really hope not. I know Walsh is a pain in the ass to negotiate with, but that would be a mistake IMO.

Agreed. We need another playmaking winger. Not getting rid of our best one!

When Mitchell returns, I wonder if they'll shut down Kampfer (considering what Bats has reported about needing surgery). Otherwise once Purcell returns Rau should be sent down so then the roster will be pretty much complete.

I wonder who gets sent down when MacK gets activated? I'd think Rau, thus moving Shaw back to his appropriate spot on RW.

EDIT - Forgot Wilson's still up. I'd think he'd be the first to go back down.

DOUBLE EDIT - OK, I'm confused. Did anyone get sent down when Hubie got activated?

Not sure which top6 ppl are referring to because the one we have has every position taken assuming that Jagr signs another contract in the next off-season.

Where did I say top 6? Jagr can't last forever anyways. Also, Bjugstad and Barkov both benefit from having a playmaking winger. Thus why Huberdeau is so important to this team.

I think he has to clear waivers to go down and also isn't eligible for the AHL playoffs.

It all happens so fast on the ice. I think good for him sticking up for his teammates when he does.



Pretty hard on a young Dman with 99 career GP, eh?
'16 - 53 GP, 2 G, 10 A, 12 PTS, +5, 86 PIM

I blame him partially for the 3rd goal against last night (Luo definitely let a soft one in), but I find it hard to critisize his game last night much more than that.

If I do recall, it was his high hard slapper that caused the rebound on Hudler's game tying goal, which he did get an assist on.



hockeyfights.com has him with a fight card record this year of 1-5-2.
Remember, three of those came in the same game vs E. Kane, who is a better fighter than Petro. That was just silly.
hockeyfights.com have him at 0-3 in his fights in '13 & '15. So yea, not a good record for him in his NHL career (1-8-2).



Like E. Kane does.

When you fight to give your team some motivation and you loose the way, you motivate the oposite team even more... Has a responsability on stay there for your mates... I has to mean "don´t touch my mates or I will crush you", and dont, "hit my mates and also makes me a clown". That´s why I thinl coaches have to let very clear to all team who does that... Leave it for Gudd and Thornton.

 

[Gentle Man]

I know I'm in the minority, but I'm excited to have Mitchell back ASSUMING he can play at a good enough level defensively.

 

[PanthersHockey1]

Mitchell was by far our worst defensemen before going down. Really hoping it was injury that hampered his play, he is fully recovered, and can become a dependable shutdown d-man he was last year.

I am not holding my breath.

 

[SimbaThePanther]

I am too! This is the time of the season a player like him could make a difference. Yeah, he might not be as good as he once was...but more good veteran leadership on the ice surly can't be a bad thing right now?

Me too. And Petrovic needs a break. Both defensively and his face.

 

[Android 16]

Huberdeau for Hoffman could be possible.

Florida gets absolutely wrecked in that deal.

Tomorrow Florida needs to manhandle the Sens. Get back on track and win 4-1 or 5-0 with a complete 60 minutes of nonstop intensity. The same intensity that was brought when we beat the Hawks and Lightning back to back blowouts. That is what we need to see.

Out hit.
Out possess.
Out score.
Keep the chances/shots low.

Make a statement.

 

[Prominence Problem]

I have him on my HFBoardsB fantasy league, and I saw today Halak's listed as DTD. Islanders will report later today on his status.

Looks like we won't be seeing Halak on Monday:
(Groin injury)

Tough break for the Islanders.

Tough break for the Islanders.

That's into the second round of the playoffs... at least.
