Bahl's been good so far this season so you gotta give him a chance to redeem himself after last game. Just really, really wish we had someone better to pair with Okhotiuk. I don't like deploying Smith as the offensive defenseman of a pairing since, well, he's not good there lol. Eventually a Okhotiuk / Nemec pairing could be pretty interesting (or Bahl / Nemec, but I'm not going to lie...think Okhotiuk may be the better prospect and player) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 We need to trade one of these lefty defensemen. Vilen has been tremendous in Liiga as a 19 year old Dman and looks great in WJC. Playing 27 freaking minutes a night lol. We signed him quickly after we drafted him, so clearly we are fans. I would expect him in Utica next year at the very least.

Rainmaker90 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Why does Ruff insist on putting Haula with Hughes? I think the offense comes out swinging tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a bottom pairing guy but you can't teach that height and reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t think he’s best suited to be on Hughes’ wing. You think they put Palat back there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think they put Palat back there? Yes, I do. Tatar has probably earned his spot in the top 6 (based on the current roster without adding a top 6 talent) when palat gets back, and he's been with Nico pretty much the entire year. So Imagine that Palat gets put on Hughes' line on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 The devils had shut them down without a shot for 10+ minutes and then they got a single shot and breakaway and Malkin buries it lol This really is last year's team with a slight improvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Hamilton was benched after his turnover led to the goal. Played less than a minute the rest of the period. I assume he'll come back in the second, but damn lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
