Me and the missus are double/triple vaxxed but not quite ready to strike out. We had a huge trip to London ruined by Covid… Couldn’t believe they missed on that huge PP chance at the end there. Is it just me, or has Wideman quietly made the team as a bottom-6 guy? he is a better version of Mete, one that can generate offense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfredoh2009 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Pezzetta makes Brooks, Paquette and Belzile expendable. He brings something different to the lineup for 6 to 9 minutes He will be called on penalties, may be once a game. But he plays better than the alternatives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he plays better than the alternatives 6-9 minutes a game and a penalty per game equals a 'cannot trust under any circumstances' type of player. That makes him more of a liability than any of the other alternatives and it's not as if he does anything to offset the dumb penalties.

Commandant Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I can see why he was needed as the team has been totally bereft of energy before he came up and he provides a bit of that. But there is a price to those stupid penalties and if he doesn't curb that, it won't be a long NHL career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still like him better than the alternatives Boston game coming up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyrealist Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 After two periods the biggest story for me is the brutal reffing. Flames are being given an awfully long leash on everything from obstruction to the vilified cross check that I was under impression was being called heavily? Not against the Flames this game, brutal reffing, we should not be noticing them so much. I hope Allen is OK from that hit he took. Suzuki took a nasty cross check from behind at end of period, could have easily been injured on such a play, should have been called. I like pissed off Toff as he usually makes opponents pay with a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have him not in the lineup when healthy as well, he's more of a 13th forward than a 4C at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he plays better than the alternatives Call on Pezetta tonight was weak sauce, he took a hard cross check in slot right before he gave a relatively light reply. Given they are supposed to be calling all those net front cross check it at least should have been coincidental penalties. Even when fourth line was “stacked” with multi millionaires in Armia and Lehks they didn’t score so I don’t mind seeing someone push the tempo and bring some hits, so long as they are not a liability and ideally can kill penalties. Not sure why Belzille still playing though, really hasn’t done anything. Poehling had a shift or two with decent players, still didn’t see him do anything worth noting.

Everything in life has risks... so all I can do is take the proper precautions, Vax, mask, wash hands, etc... and still live life at this point. 18 months has been enough of lockdown. Same for us ... except that I have a mother-in-law in her 90s, so we are somewhat concerned about getting her sick, even if she has also been fully vaccinated.

Thank God, 10 days where I won't watch this horrible team. I need to visit the San Siro before they tear the place down.

We haven’t gone out either - I’ve seen every Bond film since the spy who loves me at the theatre. started a new job though, and will need to travel to Victoria and Winnipeg over that next couple of weeks, after not being on a plane since Feb 2020.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 I like the confidence Kulak showed on that rush. Confident Kulak is an asset. Gallagher looking a lot more like his old self. Maybe his groin is finally healed up? One can hope. 1 minute ago, hab29RETIRED said: We haven’t gone out either - I’ve seen every Bond film since the spy who loves me at the theatre. started a new job though, and will need to travel to Victoria and Winnipeg over that next couple of weeks, after not being on a plane since Feb 2020.
