I agree that McDonald could fit in where Purboo’s at. If there’s an OA we need to move, I think it’s Purboo. I don’t feel like his skating has improved much, and I rarely notice him out there. He bangs enough in to rack up points, which could fetch us an O-K return, but I just don’t think he really fits this team right now.
Boka plays his role well. Haven’t been in the room with him, so can’t speak on “captain” material, but someone thought he was and that’s why he has the ‘C’. Stevenson nor Boka could bring us a return that purboo would, so I say move him.
Not to mention the soft pass across the middle of our defensive end in OT. OOF. That was brutal.
On the goals against last night, I definitely think an OA handing the puck over in the middle of the ice is a much worse offense then the trickler Medina gave up.
Personally I like Medina so far over Kari, but I agree a rotation should be put in effect.
Yes, they’ve both been playing pretty similar in the small sample size.
However, ones in his 2nd year, and taking an import spot. Long term, I favor the other if they’re equal. Time will tell, and hopefully they don’t mismanage goalies the way they have in the past.
Should be a fun season with the possibility of FINALLY winning a playoff round, interesting to see what happens, but I’ll be a tad disappointed if some moves aren’t made at the deadline. We’ve definitely got the potential to make a go for it in the near future
