fanofvan Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 3 minutes ago, JayDangles said: Well in his defense... the entire team has been absolute shit the last 9 games (except Miller). Maybe if Petey and Boes were lighting it up and Lindy still had 0 points that would be more of a concern... but think back on those 9 games, everyone has been struggling. PDG, Aman, and Bains are the only other forwards with 0 points over that time span. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're pretty overrated and I don't understand the Vegas fear Quite frankly I don't think our style of play is effective against bigger teams like theirs, and they have some giant D-men and two-way forwards in front of Hill/ Thompson, both of whom are pretty good goalies themselves.

N4ZZY Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Man. Vegas with the additions of Mantha and now Hanifin, are going to be a really tough out in the playoffs. I don't think we can compete with them in a 7 game series. They were already big to begin with, with a ton of firepower, and now they just got even bigger and added more offense to their team. It feels like we're not keeping pace with every team around us making deals and strengthening themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to find a way to get Petey going and a way to let Demko see as many clear shots against as possible. If Petey finds his game, then I like our chances. Who would honestly WANT to face us with two 100 point forwards and a 100 point defenceman on a single roster? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-68 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) 50 minutes ago, Sapper said: Drunk or high? Vegas being able to take on more cap by parking players on ltir is a tactic used by other NHL teams ( hello Tampa ) ..... It's within the rules and the only way it would stop is a rule change that enforces the cap during playoffs This seems a very reasonable response and solution. It does potentially create another problem whereby a player is hurt and out 8 - 10 weeks say with 8 - 10 weeks left in the season. So team with player doesn't make any moves before the TDL since they expect the player to be back for the playoffs ... but then isn't due to a complication. The team is then in the situation where they are down a player in the playoffs AND have cap space left. Is a bit of a conundrum to say the least. Only enforceable way with current system is to (1) not have Bettman as the sole and only arbitrator of who is and who isn't cheating and (2) have transparency with arms-length third parties (i.e. doctors) who monitor all injuries and report back accurately. However, with sports being a billion dollar business, teams/owners, like every other sport, will always try to find a way to bend or break the rules without getting caught. Formula 1 is a great example of the dance between the rules police and the teams each trying to out do the other. No I didn't just compare hockey to car racing, just the mentality transcends.

Well, if Alvin adds Jordan Greenway (6’6” 235lbs) and Erik Johnson (6’4” 231 lbs) then the Canucks become bigger. And they’re already the second largest team with the likes of Zadorov, Myers, Soucy, Cole and Juulsen. All of whom will willingly throw down.
