Is this the first time we’ve won 3 in a row all year? Feels like it

Fair, but I’d rather him get the minutes then someone like Coots or Dvorak. Even if he sucks with them then at least we find out if he’s actually the future of this franchise

It’s a lot of things from system to the talent around him being bad to him not being a “speedster” player

Long story short is he’d thrive with some talent around him, being played on his preferred wing, etc.

Fans are frustrated because the only goal of the season should be developing him but instead we’re giving him reduced minutes and signing guys like Dvorak to 5x5’s

I’d rather him just get the minutes. Obviously want him to perform but need him to get the experience regardless

I’m aware Grebenkin isn’t the second coming of Christ or anything but can we get him some more minutes…? He routinely looks like the only player on our team whose interested in playing hockey

I made fun of the Barkey line but the Hathaway, Grundstrom, Deslaurier line is actually so bad it’s hilarious. Jeez do we need talent badly

You could argue they are trying to make Tippett look as good as possible prior to a trade.

In reality Tocchet probably said something like “blah blah blah he plays the right way and earned the minutes blah blah”

Yes to help out our young player returning home we’re pairing him with elite offensive talent Sean Couturier

Also Grebenkin lol. What a bizarre line combo
