So what you're telling me is that Ryan O'Reilly, a player regarded by many to be a phenomenal leader and playoff performer, had so little confidence in himself as that leader that he didn't want to play with 3 or 4 of the best players in the league? You do realize that the year he was here, the...

I'm not writing him off by any means. But I'm also not shocked that he's been scratched a couple times this year.

You're saying that he left because you find they don't perform in the first round?

I agree about giving him a 2nd line shot. That said, not "everything" else in his game is good. Like said, he has 1 point in 15 games. The very guys you're saying are holding him back, have more points than him. Kampf has 3 points(still terrible) and Holmberg has 2 points(also terrible). Lorentz...

If he does play, I would guess it's Benoit that goes out?

I agree that Lorentz and Robertson are only really upwards trending potential. (In regards to Kampf, I'm not sure why we are always trying to offload him). And I will maintain, that spreading out your talent does not lead to success. It always looks good on paper but it rarely works. You're...

Which would be great, but with how fragile Matthews upper body seems to be, I'm not sure we want him cracking heads(and knuckles).

I agree with trying Robertson on the top 2 lines. He'd do well in the place of Pacioretty. I would be sitting Domi in the pressbox for the Capitals game.

Well yes, this is the biggest problem. But, when you have it beaten into you that Trump is the only one that can put food on your table tonight, you have no choice but to ignore tomorrow. And let me be clear that I am not ignoring or condoning anything that Trump actually is. I live with 4...

I think that it's also important to remember what Trump represents to a good portion of the population. Especially through the rust belt and other industry driven areas. Jobs. I work for a steel manufacturing company that has a good chunk of it's NA sales go to the coal industry. If the coal...

Well....we tried being positive.

McMann reminds me of Kapanen with less wheels.

Even with Domi(and believe me, I'm not a Domi fan), McMann has been invisible. Seriously not contributing at all. And I know you're a big Robertson guy, but he is so flat footed, and so easily knocked off the puck, I don't know how he sticks in the league. If he was a better, more fluid skater...

Yeah I don't buy it. Pacioretty knew full well Domi was losing that race. Heck, he was almost level with him so he had a real good view of the race being lost. If he thought Domi was winning the race he would have jumped into the play, not soft turned at the redline. Like I said, it's on all 3...

The 3rd line on this team is an absolute disaster.

I don't think it was on Domi completely. Why did Pacioretty go wide and why did the D go for the long change when they didn't have possession, nor was the puck deep. 3 dumb plays.

Hold on a second here. Do we really think that Knies is in "beast mode"? Really? Because he's cleaning up the trash that Matthews and Marner create? He's playing well, but come on. He has 7 points in 12 games. Yes 6 are goals, but some of those are a result of who he's playing with as opposed...
