PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 Yeah, at least he's getting PK time to add to his minutes. Guess that's due to Milller being gone and Ott not playing. ANd lo and behold, it was a great kill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huh. He has 2 goals and he wins fights. Zero correlation is just bs, i'm sorry. Fans love fights, it brings up the energy, it gives the home team a boost. If you deny that, you haven't been watching hockey long enough. I know momentum isn't in your little Corsi mathematical moneyball system that you seem to be a fan of, but it's part of home ice advantage and has a direct impact on the pace of the game. Sheahan has done nothing to improve this team this season. He's paid more and is worth less. I would gladly waive him right now without a flinch. 3 puckbags, kliq and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Steve Ott brings more to this team than Riley Sheahan. Has more goals, is 60% on faceoffs while Sheahan is 51% And Ott can drop gloves and doesn't act like a pansy out on ice. And what's funny is Ott and Sheahan's Corsi rating is about the same Sheahan isn't favored by either advance metrics nor traditional thought process.

puckbags 863 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Good period by us. I'm not entirely sure why Ericsson has no idea how to play his position. In it's simplest form playing D in your own end is pretty simple. Puck goes into the corner on your side you go in the corner and make a play. When it's in your d partners corner you cover the front of the net. Look at E on the Werenski chance early in the period. Jensen is in the corner and for some reason E decides to move over towards the corner and leave the whole other half of the ice wide open. Just a complete mental break down. 7 minutes ago, MabusIncarnate said: He has 2 goals and he wins fights. Zero correlation is just bs, i'm sorry.

They bring Ott in and he's willing to do all the things those people want but now they don't want him on the team because he sucks and some middling AHL prospect should be up playing. I could care less either wayabout the fighting but having Ott in the lineup doesn't hurt this team.

Not looking for a debate, you are the one that asked the question "Why not" in regards to Mantha fighting.....so I answered. You just didnt like the reason.

And when he tries it again his teammates will likely stop him again because it's not a smart move to let your goal scorer fight when you are a team that struggles to score. 1 minute ago, MabusIncarnate said: Agree to disagree, we are all on the same team here.
