Eklund is so damn good.
Schenn was brought in for his leadership and grit and initial thought was to mentor Ritchie. Who predicted he'd have such a connection with Eklund.
Yeah, Schenn really has good chemistry with Eklund. And Schenn is playing excellent this year.
The thing about Eklund, he’s not just a hard working small guy, which I really like, but he’s VERY skilled. He’s really good in all facets besides the hard work. Very good skater and stick handler, and has an excellent shot. Also very good hockey IQ.
I love Pelech but that is twice in the last week or so we had battle through a 5 on 3 because he was careless with his stick. Hope Deboer is talking a chunk out of his A$$.
Darche got a lot for shit for….
Schenn trade – Looks like a pretty solid trade to me (16pts in 18 games, face offs, leadership, etc)
Palat – while carrying a slightly inflated contract, this was another very good signing, Palat is playing the system Pete asks him to play
I have complete faith in both our GM and coach for the 1st time in a LONG time. Now we just need more talent and for our prospect to work out and it looks like most of them are. Dravecky might be the most exciting
Can we stop sh!tt!ng on Pulock already.
OH BOY HOW DID WE DO AGAINST THE LA KALSHIS?
Holmy is on pace for 28 G 28 A
Good to break two bad losing streaks… Beating Nashville and LA in their house.
hey guys..the reason isles went with 7 d men is because they were not sure how long and effective Ryan pulock was going to be first game back from injury. Kessell was insurance for pulock and would have played more but pulock showed that he was both healthy and effective so kessell was not needed. THATS why he only played for 3 plus minutes.
We beat a bottom feeder, but I'll take it. It's about time Sorokin got rewarded.
