their shallow blue line depth getting exposed hard. pietrangelo + gunnarson out and their D could actually be worse than ours.
Fair point.
Boumeester has really fallen of too. A a big minute guy in the past has now been scratched at times this season.
i also feel bad for lolblues too, armstrong fucked up big time and should be fired imo.
Blues were like a point away from making the playoffs after trading away statsny, and then intentionally tanked for the "future"
all while signing shitty contracts through FA like 4mil for perron, maroon 3mil, bozak for 5mil etc.
oh and he also he traded away picks for RoR, and their 1st rd pick this year is looking to be a high pick, let alone next season. Doesn't matter if that pick is top 10 protected, as it won't matter if they still suck next year, it'll be another top 10 or arguably top 5 pick and they can't do shit about it. They dun fucked up.
now for some fun facts about petey:
- 26 of 30 of his points are primary (this is with a 12 game win-less slump, & playing with players that can't finish gifts etc. hell fuck it, imagine him on lolLEAFS, he would probably be 50pts by now jajaja)
- already has his 2nd 5pt game in his FIRST 26 nhl games, meanwhile the sedins combine for about 2600 NHL games and has 1 5pt game each.
- has more pts than heischer/patrick (1&2oa) combined from his draft year
- tied for most pts in 26 first games by a sweden-born player since 1989-90.
- ppl said calder is still up in the air with brady tkachuk, but lmk if it's any "close"
http://www.nhl.com/ice/rookies.htmhttps://streamable.com/xwylwlook at his movement, he expected the puck was gonna come to him way ahead before it even did. He disguises it to make it look like a shot, and fooled the D and Goalie with a nice sick touch pass gift to goldie who finally didn't hit a post or missed the net after about 10+ of these type of gifts :rofl:
First Canuck to have two five point games in a season since Mogilny all the way back in 96 lol... We got a gem for sure.
Funny how one of my first hockey memories is the Canucks beating the blues 8-0. I think that was one of the games Mogilny had 5 points in.
