A reminder to us all on dangers of the game. Losing your teeth like that is bad for health and your appearance and even yet getting noticed by the opposite sex it's going to be a lot harder to attract women with a mouth missing teeth just sayin. $$$$ Helps.... don't think Kuz will ever have any probs finding birds... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about how they gave us the best D pair in the NHL. Lol Passed on Quinn Hughes in the draft and traded us Hronek. And to top it off, waived Zadina, then terminated his contract. Absolutely fricken' brilliant! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are giving up your youth and best looks for 15 years only to fix it at retirement when you are a beat up horse basically that draws no interest. Again I stand by my thoughts you will have a hard time pulling women with a bad smile. Open tik tok and see how much women care about hygiene in a man, his height and nice smiles with nice teeth is a MUST to have a chance with a beautiful woman. You must be so very young...... Life doesn't end at the late 30ish... Hygiene has nothing to do with your teeth. Go down town, and see if you can find a single NHL player hanging out with out any bird... teeth or no teeth... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is starting to remind me of the Sedin years. We didn't play well some nights and still got the W and was a presidents trophy champion calibre team for a few seasons As a fan, I want to see them play hard every night especially because they are a young team and I want good habits engrained. here's a question. are we at the point where they can show up committed 100% for the games they absolutely need while still pulling off wins going 80% against other teams? Crappy thing is you don't want to go 80% and lose a game against a team you should beat. To their credit, it's only happened once this year which was game 3 against Philly. What I did not like was the past couple seasons when we were a bubble team and no showed 1 in 3 games. That is an inexcusable way to miss playoffs.

NoCupSyndrome Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Debbie Downer time! Kidding, but the team does need to stay focused on what got them here. Keep plugging away at the good habits and "staples". Season only gets tougher from here.

He needs others to do heavy lifting for him. Miller is making his life easy right now! Reminds me of anson carter playing with twins. Wanted money, nucks didnt pay him and never approached those numbers again. I think brock knows where his bread is buttered!! I don't think that's it though. Ofcourse playing with an amazing player like JT will help but Brock worked on his fitness this summer. He looks noticeably faster and is playing great 2 way hockey. He's first in on the forecheck quite often now and is engaged in the board scrums. Then Millsy or PDG comes in and they win the board battle as a line.

Even at the time the price was fair 'market value' for prime-aged potential Top 4 RHD (Ristolainen, Montour, exc). Just wait until JR/PA have to re-sign them, and it'll be expensive... then they'll climb back out from under their rocks and start again... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what Tocc is doing with Joshua, but man he's getting the most of that guy. Garly is a little badger. I know you need the players too but man I'm so impressed with Tocchet. He'd be the runaway favourite for the Jack Adams at this rate. I don't know if its that he's learned from his past coaching experience, or that its just that his style fits really well with this team's kind of mix. Worked with Allvin to get in players he wants. A combination of those? Whatever it is, he just has the perfect mix of tough guy / teacher for this group. The Boudreau era was fun, and maybe the team needed to loosen up and have more fun themselves at the time, but Tocc is the kind of coach that this team can go far with. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is fast becoming the best player from his draft class. Complete game changer. To be honest, he is playing like a generational talent for defensemen. Don't remember a guy in my lifetime that is doing what Hughes is doing. Him pivoting and walking the line and getting shots off or making a great pass. It's really insane to watch every night. We are honestly lucky to be witnessing this. The fact he added great defensive play on top of this is unbelievable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed,, he has definitely improved his effort and is playing better.. i just hope that if he scores 45 or 50 he doesnt want 8 or 9 mill on next contract. He is becoming a more complete player and can still work on his fitness and compete level but he is a complimentary player who happens to be in the right spot playing with a true play driver.. yes,, he does seem like a fine young man as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
