One if the better defensive games, didn’t see too many mishaps. Jonas has been bringing a lot of toughness out lately and Dougie has cleaned things out . Looking at the past 5 games, idk how you can be upset. They never looked outclasses and they probably out played their opponents 4 out of 5 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the past 5 games, idk how you can be upset. They never looked outclasses and they probably out played their opponents 4 out of 5 games I don't know that Foote is a thing moving forward (kind of old for a forward prospect, never really took off even at the AHL level), but I would definitely give him a shot next year to replace wood. He's got a big body and frame and he's actually got one of the best shots in the organization, which means he could be a useful PP2 player (Miles, even though he plays there sometimes, is not). He's got some clunky foot speed, so I don't think he ever steps up beyond a bottom 6 role, but if he would develop into more of a power forward type (not his game despite his size), maybe he's useful. I will say that he's often looked pretty solid at the NHL level in his very limited sample size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His shot looks wicked Doesn't skate overly well, doesn't really generate much on his own. Not fast or particularly agile with the puck either. He's strong on the puck and protecting it, but doesn't push his size advantage. The offense just never clicked. I took him out of my prospects list at the start of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Wood back door the morning skate. Lazar hurt so he is still out *edit* i'd wager that Wood is out still based on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great game so far! I like how we can compete in low scoring games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
