Re: The NHL Thread
Winnik to Pittsburgh for Sill
don't know much about him, looks like they'll plug him into the bottom 6 |
Re: The NHL Thread
Hawks rumored to be close to acquiring Sekera.

Winnik will probably play 3rd line with Sutter.
Pens gave up Zach Sill, 2015 4th rounder and 2016 2nd rounder. Hopefully it pays off. |

i'd still look for the pens to add to their blue line if the right deal is out there their cap issues are going to limit the possibilities though |

I hope Jagr doesn't end up in Washington or on the Island... would be a kick in the nuts.

i'd love to see this: Hornqvist-Crosby-Perron Kunitz-Malkin-Bennett Winnik-Sutter-Downie Adams-Lapierre-Comeau Downie and Comeau are interchangeable as far as 3rd & 4th line go, but Bennett seems to be stuck in the bottom 6 right now and Comeau is getting top 6 minutes |

I love Sid's playmaking ability, and ability to create his own open space. I think that's why I don't put Sid in the same passing category as Kane and Datsyuk. Sid makes his plays and creates scoring in a different way. He's strong on the puck, and fast as shit. He sees things in a different way than everyone else. I'm not saying he's a BAD passer at all, he's elite for sure, but I think that Sid creates his own scoring chances and scoring chances for others in other ways than just great passes, which is where his great assist numbers come from. |

And something to point out that you've alluded to is that it's not about being a good "passer". Passing is one of the "easier" hockey skills, if I could dare to call it that. Anyone who's played the game for a fair amount of time can be a good passer, even at full speed. Basically, anyone in the NHL is a good passer or else they wouldn't be there. What separates the Datsyuks, Backstroms, and Crosbys from the rest of the NHL pack is more their VISION. Being able to read a play, read where guys are going to be, and then drawing on their second-nature (at this point) passing skills to put the puck where it needs to be. That vision can't always be learned, and the three guys we're arguing about possess it in droves. |

with 1 hand on the stick and 1 hand fighting off a defender, when he's facing the wall etc etc also, something that i really only see Sid do with regularity, is pass people open...almost like a good QB in football...a guy could be locked up with a defender, or getting out skated, or not have body position, and Sid can put a pass is just the right spot to open his teammate up, effectively making good defensive positioning and good gap irrelevant when Crosby is distributing it's ridiculous |

Re: The NHL Thread
For a rental? Oh yeah.
|
Re: The NHL Thread
I dunno... the first rounder would've been low probably, and the Kings have a lot of talent in the pipeline. Will it hurt after the season's over and Sekera bolts? Probably. But if the additional depth helps them make a strong run in the playoffs, they'll probably say it was worth it.
But yeah, still surprised the Kings payed the price of the first. Also, no salary retention. |
Re: The NHL Thread
3 months for Kane. Shit.
|
Re: The NHL Thread
Yeah so Kane underwent surgery and like fromthemorning said will miss 12 weeks. That's pretty much till the SCF. God damn. That's a killer blow.

I dont see Comeau playing on the 4th line, not with the way he's played this year. He deserves to play T6 minutes with Malkin... at worst hes on a 3rd line with Winnik and Sutter. Downie is more suited for 4th line play. As far as Bennett goes, its tough. He doesnt play the physical style you want on the 4th line, but I think he could fit with Winnik and Sutter on the 3rd line. Jason Mackey from the trib said he thinks Beau may not get playing time in the playoffs. He needs to prove himself in the last leg of the season. This would be my ideal lineup right now: Hornqvist-Crosby-Perron Kunitz-Malkin-Comeau Winnik-Sutter-Bennett Adams-Lapierre-Downie |

And here they go again. Should really cash one of these in as it'll almost certainly even out |

malkin has been a monster this game

Re: The NHL Thread
Too bad the UVA basketball game ended at 9. Would much rather watch that than this shit show. Really unimpressed tonight, particularly with the top line. As hard as I blew Backstrom this morning, he's had a really bad showing tonight. That power play has been so flat the last three games. They need to shake that up. It's so predictable right now and the Pens have it on lock tonight.

Lol at whoever said "the penguins get no penalties"

The thing about the Caps PP is that everyone knows Ovechkin is going shoot it, yet he still gets it in the back of the net.
They will have to adapt and make some changes. Right before the 2nd intermission Carlson had some good looks. Overall shitty game for the Caps. Ward should have had 2 goals, just couldn't finish. Frustrating when other lines don't get done. Niskannen has been great this year but here's another game where you can point at one particularly play and put blame on him. Kuznetsov has been hot and cold. He's been cold much more often. Move on and focus on the next one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Wings only had Datsyuk and Zetterberg together for 29 games last year. Combined they barely played a full season. I feel ya. Hope you don't lose anyone else. I think they can weather it if guys step up.

Re: The NHL Thread
i have a feeling the penguins would murder the Caps in the playoffs....just a hunch
lots of Pens fans in the building last night #LoVE Fleury taking that penalty at the end even though it led to a goal. Too bad the refs didn't see Ward knee him in the head, otherwise that game never even gets close |
Re: The NHL Thread

and yeah, I don't think the Caps would do well in a series against Pittsburgh either. I'm not so sure the Caps will do well against anyone, especially if they play like they did last night |

Pens are going to be hard to beat if their top 2 lines are rolling on the same night...Malkin is a monster this year also, the book is out on the Washington PP...every team was taking notes last night on how to defend it. the Caps are dangerous with the man advantage, but if you neutralize the left side of the ice they are very 1 dimensional |
Re: The NHL Thread
Quote:
And that's exactly what I was saying repeatedly last night. The power play is way too predictable and stagnant, it's amazing they score as often as they do. It really shows how skilled those players really are, but imagine if they got a little creative with it, I feel like they could easily run 30% all the time |
Re: The NHL Thread
Quote:
so is Niskanen on the 1st PP or the 2nd? because he was on the 2nd PP in pittsburgh and i always thought he deserved more PP minutes he can move the puck, his shots rarely miss the target, and when he loads it up he can fire it with the best of them like i said last week, i REALLY miss Orpik, but Niskanen too...Caps really upgraded with those guys :shrug |

Re: The NHL Thread
Waaaaiiiiittttt a second. I just a saw a tweet from NHL on NBC saying some Pens fans just had a baby and named it....
...wait for it .... Malkin Crosby Long. For reals? Barbs, you dropped the ball with Riley. Shoulda named the kiddo Backstrom Bondra. |

With a team that was a real legit SCF contender, probably top 3, to know that in February sucks real hard. I don't know if people realize how vital 88 is to the Blackhawks success. It's almost like when Tampa lost Stamkos. It just doesn't work the same without him there. He double shifts every game, and is on both PP units. He literally doesn't come off the ice on the PP anymore. It's such a bummer. |

I saw someone say they think the Hawks should trade Shaw/Raanta/prospect for Yandle/Vermette. Which, according to him, the Coyotes "probably would retain salary for Yandle" in that deal.
Yeah dude, and why not trade Bickell for Stamkos while we're at it? And Kruger for Crosby? TBL and PITT will probably hold on to some salary too! Fucking idiot. |
