JeremyCuddles Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 We still on about that non call. There was a similar play with Petey's leg earlier in OT. Easily could have been a tripping call on us. Calls missed both ways. This is why you capitalize on your chances, IE two golden chances by Kuzy. Don't give the refs a chance to miss a call. It was a back to back and we got points in both. Major win. Onto the next one. With some beauty jerseys too. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we still battled and played incredibly well on a back to back. We are definitely legit. Umm I'd say. "almost" legit, we still lack depth but it's coming along, i.e. Leki, Willander, and D-petey etc. They need seasoning first but their on their way learning the process and what's expected of them to make the big show. We're a lot better though, yeah we still need tweaks but that's nothing new, not having to sign $$$ free agents on the other hand would literally be new, we've never had that before, filling spots from within? Wow that would a welcome thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was skeptical of him at first for confusing some metaphors (eg. eating an elephant), but he’s actually a great communicator and leader.

I was sceptical of him at first for confusing some metaphors (eg. eating an elephant), but he’s actually a great communicator and leader. Yeah, he comes off as an authentic kind of guy. He checks his ego at the door and supports his team of players any way he can; whether it's helping guys that are struggling, keeping things positive or protecting them from some of the media types. Seems to have a genuine approach, which doesn't involve politics or personalities. It's just about creating an environment where players can play their best. I also like how he defers to the other coaches if a player requires a different approach. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rule 63.2 iv indicates a minor penalty. And rule 25 /63.2 ii indicate a penalty shot if the foul occurred during a breakaway. Good spot! Thanks for the clarification.

We shouldn't be ok with it, just because we overcame it and were feeling good I don't like game management used on Any team , (A penalty is a penalty, regardless of the period, score or team and how you keep the game and players honest) and I want the players to decide a game, as to why we watch the game Game management has its place and I'll never argue for it in regards to dictating the outcome of the game, which is what my original statement was intended for.

He must've had a good talking to because of all the flack he was getting, deservedly, over the past year and a half or more. All he needs to do is play a simple game. Period. Any goals or points are a bonus. We don't like twisted surprises. And it's not like it was just the majority here, TSN, Sportsnet, Hansen, and more. Agree. Might just be optics but the Rangers looked/played like the heavier team. It was nice to see Myers using his size in effective ways along the boards. If he was dependable I for one would welcome that physicality in a playoff series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_lai416 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 our powerplay right now is still working i think but it feels like we no longer have a bumper shot on the powerplay that was so effective for us from horvat scoring and generating rebound.. it feels like no one is willing to plant in that bumper slot to take a beating for the quick shot? and most of our powerplay shots have been coming from the perimeter. not complaining just an observation we were saying horvat only scores from the bumper on the PP and anyone could do it. i think we under appreciate his bumper position on the PP not that i would keep him at 8.5mil just for the PP. i would like to see boeser or kuz be the bumper guy.. but not sure if they are willing to take the beating that comes with being the bumper guy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo was unreal at that position (especially last season), and it’s the most glaring hole he left in our team. Brock may be hesitant to take a beating after his back injury, but he seemed to get in position for the pass a couple times vs. the Rags. Not sure if the pass was bad, or he whiffed…or maybe their adjusting to a right-handed shot on the bumper? Kuzmenko practiced the bumper in preseason, so I think he’ll slide into that spot, as part of the movement they’re applying to be less predictable. They’re definitely overdue, and we should expect an outburst of 2-3 PPG in one of the upcoming games. They get great looks, and the pure talent on that first unit is filthy even without Bo. Just having the threat of Huggy’s shot, and that new deke he uses to shake the defender, and create room to shoot straight on from the slot? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huggy’s shot upgraded, but probably needs a screen to make it through. Hughes and Miller run the QB and are a threat to score. Petey seems optimal placed to unleash his wrister or slap shot on the right. It’s really Kuz and Boeser that need to get going. Like you said one of them needs to take over at bumper, or we might need to swap out personnel. Who else is big enough to take abuse / screen the goalie, and has a decent shot and enough hand/eye? Lafferty? Myers? Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
