Kleven is gonna fit like a glove in the NHL. Tychonik is AHL level at best.

Pounding the Beaver should be our main focus this weekend.

Would Ottawa pull an Islander's move ala Kyle Okposo.

Just curious does Berry leave the recruiting to his assistants also?

Gino is a great example of a coach who understood the types of players he had to bring in to have a winning team. We are in a different era and I think Berry needs to rethink his recruiting.

I see Karl as our future. I think he would take us to the next level.

Maybe we should get a team of hockey players who do care about these things. Tradition and carrying on the lineage of the past players have built.

Most likely football makes playoffs

Karl is on a different level as Bubs as far as hockey IQ. Karl is a hockey savant.

The team needs to quit having their team meetings at Joe Blacks during happy hour.

Can I predict the post game press conference. Their goalie was red hot, we always gets every teams best game, we need to play a full 60. Hack always said too many passengers on the bus. Can Carl be coach now please.

3 goal lead is the worst lead in hockey. Just saying but our team sucks though currently. 3 goals seems like Mt Everest.

Last year Denver was in almost the exact same position as we are right now. They were able to right the ship and hopefully if our coaching staff can get some stability to our line combos we will also be able to right our ship.

The offensive upside is definitely there if they can grow their defensive game and play 200 feet.

Pairing 9 & 22 with more responsible defensive players just enables irresponsible defensive play by them. Put them on a line along with 26 and force them to grow their game defensively.

McLaughlin's vision along with Blake's slipperiness in tight. James would have to show some grit but I would like to see this line combo. Hain imo belngs with Senden and Jammer.

I am all for the all freshman line also. Blake Mclaughlin and james. They would imo create a lot of offense.

Senden is much more at home on the shut down line. Last season the Savoie line went 0 for the series in our building. Put Senden back in his comfort zone which imo is playing shut down with Hain and Jammer and capitalizing on mistakes by the other teams top line.

Here's my take on lines. I think barring injuries we go back to Senden Hain and Jammer as our shutdown line, Ness Albrecht and Portz on a line, Blake Mclaughlin and James on an all frosh line and lastly Schmaltz Gaber Caufield (possibly Kunz or Constanteni) and stick with the same lineup and let them get some chemistry instead of making wholesale line changes every week. I can't take all these line changes every single week. The players are probably frustrated and they're playing like they're frustrated. No chemistry and it's the coaches fault for making all these lineup changes every fricken series. I know we have talent. More than last year I think. Skate the piss out of the team too cause they look out of shape.

Having a shutdown line like Sendens helps to give your better offensive players more favorable matchups

Every game Berry puts all the forwards names in a hat and draws the line combinations for that game. I imagine Senden is getting frustrated. Last year his line completely shut down DUs top line all weekend and this year he’s playing with 2 completely different players. Some lines work and senden hain jammer works so does ness albrecht portz.

We seem to be getting worse every year

Buns can take his cute line combos and go stand in the unemployed coaches line with all the other coaches who love cute crap every game

Albrecht portz ness was another good line last year so Bubs gets cute and busts them up

Last year the Senden Hain Jammer line shut down Savois line so Bubs breaks up that line. Why does bibs try to be so cute with his lines. Put a freshman line together because we do have some talented freshmen. Bubs needs to quit being cute and get back to our meat and potatoes a good Senden shutdown line
