2019-20 Quest for the cup(The Carter Hart era begins)

[lasgop8]

My intention worked. I wanted to get a reaction out of you and it worked, lol.

Im just hoping Laughton is back and cement skates goes back to the press box

Who is the better pair of defensemen?

Prov- Nisky or
Sanheim - Myers

IMO, Sanheim-Myers has higher highs and lower lows. Prov-Niskanen has been consistently solid. Minus a couple hiccup games here and there.

Gee to open the scoring tonight.

Hagg 5 hits 2 blocks and a +2

Now 6-1 with him in the line up.

Yes he had a solid game. To be honest we can't blame the D for the team not scoring a goal. But when they struggle the D can be part of the solution as they do well when they do get involved offensively. See Myers goal and shot off post yesterday. I will stand by my words that Ghost does have more offensive potential than guys like Braun and Hagg but sometimes good D does create offense too. Good problem to have when you have decent players in the presser.

I like Laughton but he stunk a few games and needed a seat. I'd give JVR another game switching lines every game isn't a great idea need some chemistry to build. Isn't happening playing musical chairs unless someone isn't 100% I'd leave them today.

Looking like the NHL is going to postpone games tonight.

TK to open things. Laughton looks like he has one of those injuries we hear about in the off season. He was soon good, but now is a step off.

I think its more effective if you have an educational presentation before the game then boycotting. How does boycotting actually help but potentially cost the players money or screwing up their schedule forcing more back to backs moving forward?

I hope that's the case as his play dropped way off but if so why did they force him into the lineup hurt when they have other options?

Laughton is a better hockey player than JVR is not even close. JVR needs to be watching every game from upstairs.

On a good note this allows Hart to rest another day and he may not miss a game now. Advantage Philly.

This is complete and utter bull shit!

AV apparently seemed to hint that Laughton was unavailable in his press conference today. Said something along the lines of "can't talk about availability". I think if he were just a coaches decision, that would've been OK to say.

This makes me feel much better about AV's decision.

I don't disagree Laughton when playing well was bringing it but he did not look good the last few games. He was even missing his defensive responsibilities. That first goal by Green was his point man. But if he's hurt I'd rather anyone else as hurt players don't help the cause. JVR is better than anyone hurt don't be that crazy haha!

Agreed. If the leagues and players want to actually do something how about donating body cams to the police so that it makes it easier for them to do their jobs and less easier for the bad cops to take advantage of their position. Put a cam on all cops and watch things change.

The only way JVR belongs on the ice in this series is if someone is hurt so i guess its ok that he dresses. Hopefully this delay gives Laughton time to get back to 100% and he plays next game
