mfitz804 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I also made a comment about Hughes’ linemates last year, that a really good player doesn’t play worse because of bad linemates, he makes bad linemates look better.

SterioDesign Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I love that Jack and Ty already connected on many plays. And that Ruff even put them out together in OT. If we're going to have success in the future. its very important that these 2 work were together 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I am afraid we are getting ahead of ourselves because it’s only three games. But we wanted to see young guys doing what they can do. And through three games, they are. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I'm very happy that Lafrenière didn't get his first NHL goal against us. I also love that i legit didn't notice him at all during the game. I heard his name twice but don't even remember him doing anything. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 My one complaint of the night is I absolutely hate seeing the color blue on our helmets, Prudential should just have the stickers be black to match the colors of the team. The entire league should do it so it matches the teams colors, its not like the product isn't being promoted. Some Mexican league soccer teams do this so at least it matches, for example... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree, it’s one thing if it’s a brand famous for their color, but a black Prudential logo wouldn’t be any less effective than a blue one. It might actually be more readily seen in black on white. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main concern with the Rags is how good Shestyorkin looks, but whatever, it’s looking more and more like Mac is a legit stud himself. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not always as easy. I'm a designer so i know cause it's a pain in the ass at times. Most big businesses have brand standards and you simply cannot use their logo in different colours. Some are stricter than others too. So it might work in a few instances where you can put it black. But you'll never see a purple Mcdonalds logo unless it's them doing it for a special events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that blue is actually Prudential’s color, but is the brand identifiable with that color? I mean, the logo is in white on the black helmets so they can’t be too concerned. To use your example, if it were McDonalds it’d be Golden Arches on either color helmet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all businesses would be fine with having it blending in. i found the brand standards and yeah. The main colors to use on a pale background are either that blue or a dark blue. https://edfaherty.myportfolio.com/pru-playbook-design-system-reference-site 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I think if it were black on white, it would be more prominent. And do we want it to be more prominent? Personally, I haven’t been looking for them and I have found the helmet logos barely noticeable, no more so than a CCM or Cooper logo.

On that Tigres Mexican soccer team picture I posted they got all the companies to agree to it before making the colors match. It is what it is, Hughes looked good scoring in it either way lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was significantly more damaging to the New Jersey Devils that we took McLeod, who looks like he’ll never be an actual NHL player, over Charlie McAvoy who will probably be the next captain of the Boston Bruins. It hurts that we took Zacha over Provorov, but at least Zacha is a reliable 3rd line center and our best penalty killer by a country mile. I mean, McLeod, while a first rounder, was never a guy anyone had much hope would be a top six guy. It was obviously a mistake to draft him over McAvoy, no one with more more than five active brain cells would ever argue that. But so far this year, he actually has looked like an NHL player, capably centering the fourth line. Are you looking to draft a fourth line center in the first round? Uhhhh, of course not. But if he turns out to be a contributor- cool. You need good fourth liners. And Bastian was a second round pick, so I don’t know why you included him earlier. You’d be happy to pull a solid fourth line contributor with a second round pick. Edited January 20, 2021 by MadDog2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t draft someone in the top half of the first round and say “maaaaan i hope he anchors my fourth line when our first line center is injured.” This is what pretty much everyone said the day we drafted him. It wasn’t a good pick. I’m not arguing that at all. Thankfully we got Nico the following year and Jack two years after that, or McLeod might be at the top of the depth chart at center, which would be a nightmare lol.

I’ve been very down on McLeod since they drafted him, but he looks like an NHL player to me (for the first time) this season. Even if it’s only as a 4th liner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicomo Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Anyway, fvck McAvoy. I think Ty Smith might end up being even better than some of us had hoped. It feels great to finally have a young defensive prospect to actually be excited about. Obviously it’s an extremely small sample size, but it seems like not rushing him was absolutely the right call. They brought him up at exactly the right time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
