JoeLassister Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Arizona Coyotes. Aka the team with the most unknown players in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Price (no relation) Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 They've got a couple awesome rookies. Of course, rookies are often unknown. Couple that with this being a team that nobody anywhere in the world gives a shit about (in arizona or anywhere else) and we don't hear about it much.

dlbalr Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Arizona Coyotes. Aka the team with the most unknown players in the league. For me, the team with the most unknown players so far is Colorado. I recognize every name in Arizona's lineup...there were a couple I had to look up on Colorado's bottom lines last weekend.

dlbalr Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 A minor (and expected) note, Tokarski will be dressed as the backup tonight although Price did participate in the game day skate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recognize every name in Arizona's lineup...there were a couple I had to look up on Colorado's bottom lines last weekend. For the Avs, only Street, Martinsen and Everberg for me. For x reason, I know all their d-men. I also happen to know Calvin Pickard because of HWL. On Arizona's lineup, I don't have any clue who are : Martinook, Cunningham, Dahlbeck, Samuelsson and Murphy. (I don't follow prospects very much, I know...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I don't follow prospects very much, I know...) - I knew Martinook was a Coyote pick but nothing more than that. But I had heard of him. - Cunningham was claimed off waivers from Boston at the trade deadline last year for reasons I've yet to understand. - Dahlbeck was the d-man they got for Vermette last year. - Samuelsson was a bust in Pittsburgh and frankly hasn't been any better with Arizona. - Murphy was teammates with Galchenyuk back in junior. I wrote about him as part of my Galchenyuk junior game report three years ago: Connor Murphy (PHX, 20th in 2011): When he was drafted in the 1st round, I was a little surprised. Having seen him now, I’m no longer perplexed by the selection. He was far and away the best defenceman on either side in this one, is very reliable in his own end, and plays well in the offensive zone. I wouldn’t call him a future top pairing player but he will be a solid NHL’er in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 I can never remember the names of the guys on the Islanders. Anders Lee, Josh Bailey, Frans Nielson, Casey Cizikas, Taylor Beck, Travis Hamonic, Brian Strait... I never remember they are NHLers even though I've watched them play countless times and think guys like Nielson and Lee are fantastic players.

(Not side-by-side, same company, similar role. We interact.) Hamonic's really, really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronthab Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Well.. we've held them to fewer than three goals so far.... ...... uhh... Still trying to get used to there being another Domi in the NHL..you know.. a hockey league.. Don't know how good he is but I knew how bad his dad was. Actually I'm kinda liking .. generally.. what we're trying to do offensively. It seems much more purposeful and tactical than in earlier years.

RobRock Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 There's not a lot of offensive weapons on the blueline, so unless you're willing to play a forward on the point, someone gets a full PP, and it won't be Markov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PK has played all the full ten of the last 5 powerplays ..... that has gone 0 for 5. Hows that working for ya? Petry and NB are a capable second unit. Give them time they mean even improve Ya think?

xXx..CK..xXx Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I'm not the type to repeat overstated things but Beaulieu should get some PP time. He's playing a really solid game and looks like he's itching to break out offensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be fine with Beaulieu-Petry seeing some consistent PP time. If Subban plays 2+ minutes for a shift (the full PP plus some even strength time while he gets to the bench), the Habs are basically making it so that they have to go 3rd pairing/2nd pairing on the two shifts after the man advantage. This is a bad trend getting down early. They made it to 5 minutes without a goal. That's progress considering the last four games were all inside 3:30.

RobRock Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I don't like it any more than you do, but I understand it. Beaulieu doesn't shoot nearly enough from the point. Pateryn isn't much of an improvement either. So like I said, unless you're willing to throw a forward back on the point, Therriens' basically got three guys to rotate on the PP for the time being.

sbhatt Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Far too many pucks being shot wide, and the PP looks predictable again. They have to solve those problems going forward in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
