WTF are we paying Reaves for if he doesn't go after Marchand?

This is the flaw in the whole "protection" argument is they haven't done anything to deter

yeah. he'd just turtle anyway i think. i just don't see the point in enforcers who can't play.
 
Ya I'm gonna lean on HL again because, while I'm nowhere near panic mode, my level of concern has definitely increased with the amount of soft spots up and down the lineup right now. 10 games now so that's generally when you start to get an idea of who a team is.

Seen this happen so many times. Bring in toughness. Toughness turns into pussycat.

The don't give a fuck attitude is quick to spread apparently.

think we've played at an 82pt pace through ~10 games the last two octobers.

agreed that there's some concerning areas though.

to be real, it's usually the 20gm mark where you get the first decent early take.

some people like to say it comes around american thanksgiving...which is close enough.

I don't know why anyone thought it would end differently this time. This year's Reaves is just what Simmonds was 2 years ago, a washed up bum who can't keep up and who doesn't scare anyone anymore.

The Nick Ritchie vibes I've been getting from Bertuzzi has been the most shocking thing for me this year. I expected a monster year from him. There's no way he doesn't get better. He's not Nick Ritchie and hasn't been Nick Ritchie on any other team so what the fuck

Looks like a Ritchie to me so far

Yeah, this x1000.

Like that was a textbook dirty play with either intent to injure or reckless disregard towards injury. Wtf is Reaves doing.
 
Some of the "Grit" narrative I have hated I agree with last night. They should have reacted differntly.
Also, this year a top pair D should be added. Not any forwards, top pair D.
 
If Domi and Bertuzzi aren’t going to provide the depth scoring we thought they were, I think we’ll need forward help too.
