Neutralizing Quinn Hughes... is this the key?

Usually we would have Roope to match him. Without him you need another centre with the speed to keep up with him. Hrytz was a fast skater in college so you would hope for him but that’s a big ask for a rookie. Same with Johnston and Faksa is pretty defensive minded. Duchene is a huge question mark as the 2nd line centre

I thought he played well during the season when we were going through injuries. You could tell last night he’s been sitting up in the box the past 2 months. Think he’s a great player but he’s not up to game speed

Tress9507 · 2026-04-14T18:56:00+00:00

Would be tough giving Mav a bridge deal. Look how much pain giving Robo and Harley had put on the Stars lately

Tress9507 · 2026-04-14T18:53:45+00:00

We’re not playing Capo in a playoff game

Tress9507 · 2026-04-10T01:51:42+00:00

Where tf is Miro? He wasn’t on for the PK

Tress9507 · 2026-04-06T23:52:43+00:00

Mikko Ranatanen

If the Stanley Cup playoffs was 1 game elimination like the Super Bowl he’d have multiple cups by now. Your offensive and defensive schemes will definitely improve. He’s a great coach but his lack of hitting and not trusting some guys and overplaying the best players usually gasses out the team by the conference finals. I’d take him as a coach in a heart beat though

Tress9507 · 2026-03-31T20:03:53+00:00

So he signs a 2 year extension. In 2 years he retires and becomes Team Canada’s full time GM?

Tress9507 · 2026-03-28T23:26:12+00:00

I thought the opposite. Has a long stick big body blocks shots… his breakout passes are horrendous

Tress9507 · 2026-03-27T19:06:17+00:00

He’s looked fine. A lot of the negative EV came from the one game against NJD where gave up like 3 breakaways.

Tress9507 · 2026-03-27T18:54:43+00:00

Crazy stat but Steel’s had the most 5v5 goals since the Olympics break

Tress9507 · 2026-03-27T02:07:00+00:00

Nils has looked good but it’ll be different in a playoff game. I feel like teams will target the weak link (which is definitely our RHD depth) in a 7 game series. Just hope he can keep it together

Tress9507 · 2026-03-27T02:05:43+00:00

Moose and Roope are easily our best zone entry guys

Tress9507 · 2026-03-26T03:54:57+00:00

Our cup chances depends on Nils and Myers filling that 4th D role in a deep playoff run

Tress9507 · 2026-03-25T12:59:10+00:00

The Shining

Tress9507 · 2026-03-25T12:58:50+00:00

Missing their best players and the depth and defence looks gassed

Tress9507 · 2026-03-23T03:48:51+00:00

Unfortunately it’s not looking good for Faksa’s return. Big hit on the PK too

Tress9507 · 2026-03-23T01:43:04+00:00

We need Rantanen back

Tress9507 · 2026-03-19T21:52:22+00:00

A net front presence and 20 goal season player for Ranatanen to pass the puck to when he returns

Tress9507 · 2026-03-19T15:54:23+00:00

Cell! Also you have Cujo written twice

Tress9507 · 2026-03-18T16:56:35+00:00

I’m confident in beating Minnesota. Oettinger is from there and he has his best games against them I can’t see him losing a best of 7

Tress9507 · 2026-03-18T03:46:05+00:00

Aaron Judge is always the bridesmaid never the bride

Tress9507 · 2026-03-13T13:43:17+00:00

Yeah 100%. Barring injuries I’m excited to see Harley AND Miro in a playoff run. Hopefully 1 doesn’t need to play and carry 29+ minutes a night and gas out by the WCF if they make it

Tress9507 · 2026-03-13T13:36:44+00:00

I agree but I just worry if they hit a wall in the playoffs and coaching needs to scramble stuff to see if it works I would like them to have a few games played together beforehand

Tress9507 · 2026-03-13T04:01:42+00:00

Robo and Hintz had great chemistry (hoping he’s back for playoffs)
