Maurice is going to have to learn that having a great shot is good enough and put Laine back on the left side.
December 15, 20177 yr comment_310066 Falling back to the wild card position. All this talk about chasing first needs to end now.
December 15, 20177 yr comment_310068 That Poolman-Chiarot pairing is dreadful. I'd like to see them put Myers with Chiarot and Poolman with Kulikov. Poolman has tons of potential but he needs to be with a solid, veteran d-man like Kulikov right now. Chiarot just sucks.

December 15, 20177 yr comment_310084 Poolman was ok. Chiarot is painful. Myers and Kuli have been our best pair all season since Trouba seems off most games.

Poolman had a couple really ugly gaffes but at least he gets a pass for being a rookie. I expect him to improve with time. At this point, Chiarot is who he is... he's probably not going to get much better.

I really think hes plateaued. 25 minutes ago, Atomic said: Who else are you gonna play though?

Chariot should be more poised and polished by now and having him and Poolman together is risky.

This defensive system is still garbage and has been since the start of the season... difference now is that Helle's save percentage is now .917 instead of .937...

Maurice who is now the coach with the most losses in NHL history, likes to run his goalie in to the ground. Did it with Ward.. Did it in Toronto.. Pav.. And now Helle... He overplays them. Helle needs a break.

December 15, 20177 yr comment_310113 Myers and Kulikov are our top 2 D, plus/minus wise, at +5. FWIW.

Only because Trouba and Morrissey are our shutdown guys while Myers/Kulikov have basically been our third pair for most of the season... Old argument about +- being a meaningless stat
December 15, 20177 yr comment_310116 Myers has been up-and-down but I actually think Kulikov and Morrissey may be our most consistent defencemen so far this year. I like Kulikov's game a lot.
December 16, 20177 yr comment_310142 D wise Morrissey Kulikov Buff Myers Trouba Chiarot Chiarot would clear waivers.. Thats how bad he is... Hes so bad that id consider Melchiori or even Niku instead. A is what it is AHL vet or a rookie 5th in D scoring or Chiarot. Yup. Trouba has looked more bad than good. Hes not getting 6 plus million long term at this rate. Buff with no goals but seemed more responsible defensively. Hes a big injury loss. . Myers has been consistent after an expected slow start. JoMo and Kuli... Been the most consistent and best of the bunch. Edited December 16, 20177 yr by Goalie
December 16, 20177 yr comment_310143 Our big problem tho... Its truly coaching. I know our record tho.. Yeah.. Cuz coach Helle was awesome but bottom line is we have no O structure or D structure.. We struggle when other teams take away the boards and actually forecheck. Our PK is a joke.. Truly... Shooting Gallery on the Goalies. Our lines which could be outstanding is just so strange.. It was always Ladd Little Wheeler.. Wheeler the set up guy... Little the 2 way goal scorer and ladd the same. So.. Perreault Little Wheeler. Pretty obvious Little dont mesh with the goal scorers.. Why? Cuz he isnt a set up guy and neither is laine or ehlers so change it up.. Ehlers Scheif Laine. Because why not.. Scoring goals wins games.. Connor Lowry Armia. Connor could be with 18 and 26 also. In which case 85 is 3rd line LW. Tanev.Copp. Dano. Hendricks is old and slow... Needs a break. Play Mason more now that hes not hurt. Helle needs a rest. Really wanna optimize our lines.. Call up Roslovic 85 or 81 Roslovic Armia 3rd line Copp Lowry Tanev 4th.
December 18, 20177 yr comment_310282 I think that Ehlers Sheif Laine is the line of the future. Would like to start seeing them together. They'd be the next Ulf/Anders/Hull.

I'd actually like to see all three of them on their own line - Connor-Scheif-Wheeler have pretty good chemistry only worry is that Connor is logging a lot of top minutes early.
