Garth Snow's team could never amount to anything!
It took 2 years to revert to Capuano tendencies (turtle and blow a lead) but they've made it all the way back.
You have to fear that seeing him on the Ottawa bench lead to this and will affect them over the course of the next 67 games...
I'll probably get blasted for this but hey idgaf
Lee-Barzal-Ebs
MDC-Nelson-JHS* (or Wally)
Beau-Otto-Bailey
Leo-CC-CC
*Ho-Sang's offensive talent and ability to drive play is exactly what our flat/slow top 6 needs. Now, if JHS really is a toxic off-ice presence then obviously we'll have to either make a trade, bring up Wahlstrom or be content with sucking.
Lotta ppl pointing to Beauvillier as a bright spot on this team....sorry guys I don't see it.
What I see is a hard working, low/mid tier complimentary (does not drive play), 3rd liner who can score at an acceptable rate but has terrible positioning and is awful defensively.
I'm ok as long as he's sheltered in a bottom 6 role - but hard to do when your bottom 6 already has it's share of weak links.
You touch on him being weak on the puck...this is, in part, my reasoning for not being a fan of his defensive play.
As you know, he gets pushed off the puck too easily and isn't able to get it back. IMO You can't be a good defensive player if you're weak in the corners and along the boards.
He hustles on the back check, skates well and does an ok job at agitating...but I wouldn't call that defensive acumen. His angles are bad and disagree about the decision making.
I have no doubt that he will mature and get stronger ...but for now, hes our most oveerated player since Hamonic.
It didn’t.Garth Snow's team could never amount to anything!
Destined for a long AHL career.
He is a very weak on this feet player for sure... he could develop though.. .he is quite young, but bottom 6 guy for sure at best
Another 4th round bust, send him back to the A!
*everything I’ve said in this thread is a joke.
hmmm...Can we get through 20 games first?
There has been a 50 degree drop in temperature since they skated on ice and did not garner a pointThey have dropped one point the last 16 games. They clearly suck.
Don't worry! As soon as the point streak ends, we'll have our resident Chicken Littles give it to us straight and the 2020 Draft thread will rocket back to the top.Man, do I long for the days when we'd be talking about the draft heading into December......
If they didn’t blow that lead against Pittsburgh it would be 136. I don’t know how Lou is not holding anyone accountable for that.1/4 way into the season and we're on pace for 135 points...
He's lucky that Garth "The Amazing" Snow constructed the roster for him.If they didn’t blow that lead against Pittsburgh it would be 136. I don’t know how Lou is not holding anyone accountable for that.
