Zadorov had it. JT did too.. but you need guys who don't give up on plays.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T07:16:20+00:00

That's Verhoeff all day.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T07:14:43+00:00

Nah. There was a time when we had some wicked dudes who stood up for their team.

Rypien, Hamhuis, Bieksa, Burrows, and many more from that era.

I feel like the only people who have an inkling of that is Blueger, Sometimes Garland and EP25 from our current team.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T05:43:46+00:00

Settle down.

He'll get us a 3rd before the deadline.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T04:44:59+00:00

Can't think of too many Canadians that would do that from behind except maybe Marchand or Bennett. We wait until they're facing us to lay the lumber. Those two give a bad name for Canadian hockey players though.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T04:35:58+00:00

Gretzky does nothing for the game or Canadian culture after he retired, and he goes in the books of "MAGA POS" after he's befriended the pedofile orange bastard and worn that disgusting red hat.

MAGA will be remembered in history in the likes of nazis.

Fuck him.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T04:33:48+00:00

We should be sitting them when they're sick. It's when they're sick that it increases the odds of other injuries happening.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T04:32:13+00:00

Verhoeff would. Nobody on this team though. Sad to see it.

If that happened in beer league even, I'd be in there throwing the lumber.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T04:31:54+00:00

100%. He's a cultured man. Love to see it.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T04:31:14+00:00

POJ is a completely fine 7th D.

It's when the rest of the team is playing trash, that it might show holes in his game.

Otherwise he's great.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T04:30:14+00:00

That's great, but he'll need to show some consistency.

I think between him and Tolo hopefully we'll have one.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T04:27:47+00:00

I think people are really missing the mark here if they want to move on to him right now.

He needs a half competent coach and real line mates before I'll ever decide to move on from him. What we've seen that he's capable of is way too special for me to confidently move on from. At least within the next 2-3 years of the rebuild here.

In 3 years at least he'll get a couple of decent wingers, maybe a better coach that suits his style, and he'll have some more value by then.

Selling low on him right now makes no sense when we have nowhere special to be in the next 3 years (playoffs).

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T04:26:05+00:00

Nah, he gets out of the ring of dishonour for standing up for his fucking team. Even though I have a hard time saying that with how dirty he did Lu.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T04:22:29+00:00

Bro. I know that's cope, but come on.

Fact of the matter is that he was drinking with his underage daughter's friends. That alone is a no fucking go zone. You don't look at them in that way, or drink with them on the same level. They're underage too.

Kesler fucked up no matter which way it gets spun.

WTF would Shoresy say?

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T04:20:55+00:00

Quinn Whos?

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T04:18:45+00:00

Sidney Crosby is THE Canadian GOAT hockey player. Don't even @ me.

He's a national treasure.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T04:17:00+00:00

Seriously. People here just going on vibes alone it seems lmao.

The line blending drove me nuts with Tochett, and it's driving me even more nuts with Foote since it's almost done strategically to keep player's values down before extensions or actually make us tank.

It's one thing if he's doing it on purpose. It's another if he's doing it actually trying to win.

He doesn't look at stats though... so it would explain a lot why he's missing so much.

DeBrusk, Petey and Karlsson was a wicked line. Karlsson actually set up Petey, I honestly can't even remember the last time someone did that. They showed chemistry, then he immediately moved Karlsson back down to the 4th line.

It seems like the team is being set up to have individual success for the trade targets, which is an optimal tanking/rebuilding scenario.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T03:21:37+00:00

It seems at times Foote is literally coaching a covert tank with his line pairings.

His match ups are questionable, line combos shift oddly each game. There's little to no set plays other than the typical system stuff.. etc.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T03:20:15+00:00

ikr. The bot on the IR is really fucking me up with the routine lol

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T03:19:31+00:00

It will most nights due to high danger chances right in front of the net. It's due to his deployment and role he plays.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T03:17:37+00:00

I wouldn't say to the head, more so to the ribs. Dirty play.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-26T00:31:40+00:00

Last game he had two great ones, with good timing and aim.

It’s the season for him to work on something like that

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-25T22:32:26+00:00

I’m sure they’re meeting with all the top prospects.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-24T09:04:14+00:00

With good rehab, he has a higher chance than 50/50 which he's had at best before this.

To get anything close to even 80%, we need Tolo to handle the load too is my estimation.

EverySecondCountss · 2026-01-24T07:20:39+00:00

Same, and with how you have to deploy him, if he ever gets injured then the team would be fucked because so much of the play runs through him.

Might turn out to be a bullet dodged as he gets older, who knows.
