They play their role real good. They work hard, compete hard, play a lot of the time in the other team’s zone and finishing checks. Everybody knows their role.” - Gerard Gallant on the fourth line GIF to HYPE: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4EverRangerFrank Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Ok, this will be a new challenge for the team but you have to start thinking too, that other teams seeing us on their schedule, that we’re becoming the formidable foe. I like that role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 They also have Jonas Johansson active on the roster who played a little for Colorado last year and Buffalo a bit before that. Overall he's not that great, so their goaltending situation isn't too great right now. Everything else is, though. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valriera Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Looking forward to this makar v Fox matchup that I don’t think is as close as people around the league think it is after watching both. That said they’re the two best young defensemen in the league and it feels very much like Crosby v ovechkin of old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that role. Came in here to say this. COL is 13-7-2. I know we’re going into their arena, I know theyre tough, and I know they have MacKinnon, but the talk of this being a test game…yes it will be, for COL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) This is the third day in a row or so that I keep thinking this game is in Colorado. lol I just thought with the travel logistics they would just head down to Denver after being in Chicago, so that's kind of odd. Colorado has been averaging about five goals a game for a little over a week now, so this is a huge test for the defense and Georgiev. They have goaltending issues themselves too right now.

Albatrosss Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 After last night’s game im sitting on a can and thinking, maybe Gorton knew something when he gave Trouba an $8M a year contract? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never really had a problem with the Trouba deal. He wasn't brought in to create offense. He was brought in to be a stalwart D man, who is steady and stable in their own end. We hadn't really had anything like that since what...prime Girardi? Staal? So yeah, sure, maybe he's overpaid when you compare salary to points percentage, but he's still solid and that contract should look great right about now and hopefully for its duration. We'll see. Disclaimer - I also didn't have a problem with the Hayes deal in Philly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
