EdgeControl Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 physicality DOESNT MEAN FIGHTING.. it means putting guys on their butts or faces into the boards.. Ottawa was taking runs at our d-men coming over our own blueline. they were looking for take-out checks... theres something to making the other team uncomfortable and cautious .. we need a few big D men who can lay some wood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans04 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 just shuffling around some mediocre players for others. Doesn't help that Zacha hasn't done much of anything to separate himself, rather underwhelming so far for a 6th pick. Yes its very early on no doubt but I was hoping for more.

I remember people being very harsh on Larsson during his first few seasons. I'm willing to give Zacha some time to develop. He's shown some moments and he doesn't have the best cast to work with just yet. I know there's no room for him, but Elias would be great to have in the room for these young guy to learn from by example. I liked the way he carried him self.

MadDog2020 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Zacha is 19 years old playing his first pro season. People need to chill.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people are being caught up in the recent success of all the rookies above him, this class has been a bit amazing! we might need to revisit the "tanking" argument!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, minus any talk of tanking. Like I said it's very early on but he hasn't shown a whole lot either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come into our building knowing there's 2 pts there for the taking. Damn, this team pisses me off 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could do it all over again, would you still take Zacha or Provorov? At this point I am not sure. Edit: I will say in that draft I was praying that somehow we would get lucky and Marner would fall to us. Just wasn't meant to be on that front.

Can you explain your version of the " tanking argument" ? Are You suggesting losing games on purpose to gain a better position in the draft? We are doing that naturally every game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans04 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Pete Dougherty @Pete_Dougherty 59m59 minutes ago Seth Helgeson is not on the ice for the A-Devils, who say he is "unavailable." Word is that he has been recalled to New Jersey. #BNGvsALB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven M. Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Good. He's not a particularly great player but he is a little bit better at boxing people out of the crease then some of the guys we're currently playing... would really like to see Moore take a seat.

BostonNala370 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 So Shero says Hynes is here to stay. It's the players fault not enough grit. OK, no problem, then it's his job to deliver the players with talent and grit. IMO that's a hard job to do right now and even off season.

jagknife Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I'm alright with the Gazdic move, but Helgeson brought some actual defensive zone aggression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Should have kept Helgeson up. Although tbf I didn't see the game against the Pens last night.
