There's also Nic Seeler Pettersson I could see since it solves a need for us next season. Smith I’m not really sure moves the needle much for us since he’s having kind of an average season. Would be kind of a lateral move if we shipped Mikheyev out. Edited February 25 by DeNiro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) 9 minutes ago, Rip The Mesh said: Excellent interview! Been waiting for this one. This kid is such a gamer, so dialed in. You can tell Tocchet loves his game. I'm glad to see they know Bains can handle the game at this level and have confidence in him. His comments about Miller are interesting and revealing. Not once did he use the word "toxic". Edited February 25 by Dr. Crossbar 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see us going after anyone with term now until our cap is more sorted. Unless of course Mikheyev is going out which I guess is possible. We sure they’re not scouting the Flyers? They’re the ones rumoured to be dangling players. Walker? Seeler? Laughton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUSK v2.0 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 5 minutes ago, HorvatToBaertschi said: Huge shoutout to Teddy Blueger, who just demonstrated that he can excel in an energy 3rd line alongside Dak and Garland, but ALSO drop down and be an elite, effective shutdown, pesky 4C for the big matchups. That was a terrific game from him in all 3 zones. Our 4th line is not looking like a demotion anyways, these days. I love the changeup to the lines. I think all 4 lines can play equal minutes against any line when we get Joshua back. Bains and Joshua look interchangable between the Miller/Boeser line and the Lindholm/Garlund lines. Mik actually looks better with Petty/Hogz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few armchair chicken littles are pouncing on any reason to predict our downfall around here, so it was nice to see the team put a cork in that. It's not going to be easy, but who ever thought it would be? We're going for the fricking Cup! Buckle up. Same with Hronek. Noticed that last night. Some people have been waiting to pounce on him, frothing at the mouth, chomping at the bit when he makes a mistake, since they were wrong from the get go. And then ... he scores! You are right!

Laughton is definitely a guy you want to go into the playoffs with. Not sure why the Flyers would want to part with him unless they think they can get a big overpayment.

Popular Post spook007 Posted February 25 Popular Post Share Posted February 25 1 hour ago, Dr. Crossbar said: I agree about the ebbs and flows. I talk about that all the time. People lose sight of that. My issue, as you say, is that many people do treat every game as a turning point and not every game is ... it's the very reason I poke fun at it each game with the Family Guy gif ... to highlight the absurdity of it all. Not every game is ... Big game, huge game, big test. There are big games each season, road markers and measuring games along the way. It's ok to single those out. This was one of them and I wasn't wrong in pointing that out. We needed to see certain things from our team and we did. They got it done. There were things we needed to from this team as the #1 team. We had to beat the Bruins. We had to prove that we could and we did. That mattered. Just what the doctor ordered... We spoke a few times about the importance of winning the game against the Bruins... It was a fabulous win, and more importantly the way it was achieved.... I still believe, being in a funk made it less important to beat the Bruins. For the simple reason they were in a funk... If they had won a few on the spin, and lost to the Brunis again, I would have been more concerned, and likely Tocchet and management as well, but being able to rise to the occasion despite being 2-0 down, and having been losing several games on the spin (in various ways), shows immense character and will and that was very impressive... This was not luck, but a beating only stopped by a red hot keeper, who under normal circumstances wouldn't have been denied... but sheer will did... Don't know, where they found the will or strength, but something very good is cooking, and we all have front row seats to witness it... 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly feel that this team has had enough eating people's crap. In the media, from other teams....even their own fanbase at times. They really want to shove it down everyone's throats. They ARE a respectable team and not a laughing stock. I feel what they've battled through has helped bond them. A lot of adversity has been thrown at them. We heard how the culture had to change. Country club. Easy to play against. Now, the weird thing for me is they've sort of adopted a bit of a JT smash your stick attitude. Some toxicity, which is ok on the ice. You don't wanna play nice, nice guys finish last. Even Quinn's channeling some inner rage lately...not that we want frustrated players. But damn, don't just accept a funk and go quietly. Everyone seemed scared to speak out, to ruffle feathers. Better to exchange "That's a good team over there" pleasantries. JT spoke out about the team's post COVID schedule. He pulls no punches and it's refreshing. Honesty, transparency, integrity. Those are good things to lead with. I feel that he's changed the team culture and leads by example. We have the quiet leaders (like Huggy) who do their "speaking" on the ice. Petey. But JT's a guy who'll go to bat for the team. Stand in there for interviews and not give a shit what people think. This team's maturing....the experience they've gained over the past few years and some real adversity has given them something to draw from. They don't want it to fall apart to the level it has in the past and know that it quickly can. And they're learning not to just succumb to it...they're fighting back. Both physically and mentally. 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today is a good day! Something good is cooking. All good, amigo! I feel that one thing we all have to learn as a fanbase is to not fall apart at every sign of trouble. Weather the storms. We have good reason to be nervous....the past has created that atmosphere of "uh oh, here we go again". But even when the team struggles, we should learn not to trash them so easily. Hang in there with them, get behind them. They've earned our respect at this point. No matter how things play out...they're a good team and this isn't just a run of easy wins. This has been a sustained thing over 3/4 of a season now. Meaningless in the overall quest for the cup at this point, but means something in how we view them and credit is due for how they're showing up this year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
