Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Two points! Acceptable because it was for Ted. Now we get to face the Lightning twice and the Habs and the Panthers and the Bruins and omg the rest of this month is going to be amazing.

kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted March 8, 2019 Shut Larkin down for the rest of the season. Green already is. I wanna see the Filips and AA going berzerker as much as possible. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigWillieStyle 662 Report post Posted March 8, 2019 It's so hard to remember that winning games helps to build character. I really don't mind if they win 2 more games this year. It will be good for the team in the long run. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let him heal, and get a jump on off season training. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted March 8, 2019 Bertuzzi is gonna get the A on his chest. I still think Larkin gets the C, but 2uzzi is the man. Sucha great character guy. Only + player on this team too. 2 BigWillieStyle and Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted March 8, 2019 It would be huge for AA to play the season out as the top line center and have a few more games like he did tonight. 1 BigWillieStyle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted March 8, 2019 Also, huge opportunity for Mantha to step up here and show that he can be an offensive leader on this team. Unfortunately he didn't take advantage tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'd be reeeeeally interesting seeing him in that role against a powerhouse like Tampa. I don't mean that in a snarky way. Trial by fire, see what happens.

Trial by fire, see what happens. Agreed, he'd get caved in for sure. But if he was able to get some chances against a top flight first line, it might be a really good building block. Long term I still like him at wing better, but I've been wrong about things before. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted March 8, 2019 With AA I just think it's smart to play him like we played Vanek in his first season here. Deploy him in the Ozone. Bench him in the Dzone. Use him as a specialist. I will not complain if he evloves into a solid top 6 center, I just doubt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a good sign. 15 pts in about 30 games is really encouraging for a rookie Dman too. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
