Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 Was always s***.. And no clue how he gets PP time. Has he ever in his life got a shot through from point? Absolutely brutal in every way. He was really good on the PP last year. It's an anomaly how he's still on there this year with his regression. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 He was really good on the PP last year. It's an anomaly how he's still on there this year with his regression. The way Smitty is playing Babs needs to recognize that and reward him with PP time over Kindl.. Kindl is just awful. As soon as I saw Kindl was on the ice in the OT tonight, I said to myself Oh jeez here comes a long 30-40 seconds of him on the ice and sure enough we get scored on cuz he is just standing there not watching his man.

Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 I still say (and have been saying since) Kindl should have never been drafted. Hated it then, makes me throw up in my mouth now... Wasn't he pretty damn good for Kitchener? He played with Mike Richards didn't he? That team was good. The way Smitty is playing Babs needs to recognize that and reward him with PP time over Kindl.. Kindl is just awful.

Smith, 1 PP chance this year, 1 goal. 2 WingsAlways and wings87 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 Well I'm glad we at least got one point out of it. Smith really flashing his potential again the last couple games. Kindl on the other hand should be given up on at this point. OT aside did anyone see those horrible passes? Kept leading people who had no momentum by like 15 feet. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shinzaki 72 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 Kindl has been a real disappointment this year....he needs to turn it around because it's not like we don't have a number of options for the third pairing developing in the AHL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt198913 932 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 With out a doubt when E gets back Smith and Kronwall have to stay together. Smith just seems like the puck rushing offensive physical future number 1 we'd thought he'd be with Kronwall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Datsyukian Deke 127 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 Being the "stay at home"-guy fits Kronner better, too. That's why I would've preferred a trade for Ehrhoff to have that top tier offensive minded d-man. It's not that Kronner played remarkably bad on the PP, it's just not his trait. But why not try Smith a the point? He looks as if he's made for that.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingfan1991 221 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 Always liked Smith, future is bright with him here. Dekeyser and Smith are gonna be here for a long time, I hope! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 I must've been watching a different game, because I wasn't very impressed with Smith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Euro_Twins 4,475 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 I must've been watching a different game, because I wasn't very impressed with Smith. He was jumping in on the rushes, and was getting a lot of offensive opportunities Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 Was always s***.. And no clue how he gets PP time. Has he ever in his life got a shot through from point? Absolutely brutal in every way. Last season Kindl was one of the only guys who could seem to get a shot through from the point. Now it's like he's completely forgotten. 1 kipwinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 Kindl thinks and moves too slowly for this game. He can make a great pass and shot when he has all day. Against a good fore checking team he's going to be at least a -1 most nights. I find it funny when people say Howard doesn't make the big save. That argument can't be used when you're getting outplayed. Jimmy made like 5 or 6 huge saves at crucial points in the game. Jimmy and goose willed us this point in a game we didn't deserve to win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
