Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 They need to make a move for a legit top 4 defenseman to pair with Power. Another vet depth defender and a goalie might not hurt down the stretch. I hope Adams makes moves to improve this team. Our top 2 lines are a PROBLEM for most teams. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dowd goal was completely on UPL, horrible rebound control on a low angle shot. I'm not there on him yet, but he's certainly cut back on those types of garbage goals. There's definitely potential now to move forward beyond this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid is incredible. Tage makes no sense. The guy is 6'7" but his greatest talent is operating in small spaces and a lightning release. Its like watching a giraffe do perfect ballet in a phone booth. His stick is 8 feet long and his wingspan is that of an albatross but he has elite puck handling skills in traffic and gets shots off with minimal room to operate. He is still filling out his adult frame and will only get stronger, potentially faster. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet I'll temper my current expectations and accept a playoff appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say it was Tuch who actually has the longest stick on the team. 18 hours ago, Doc said: Rebounds happen.

If you were to ask UPL, I'm sure he was kicking himself over that one. A goalie needs to direct those rebounds to spots where the team can clean them up. That one was probably the worst possible option. He's improved damn near miraculously in the past month, but that one makes me worry a bit.
