So how has that new guy from Chicago looked?

My husband likes him but he also likes Derek Dorsett so his opinion cannot be trusted.

bobbled the puck a few times, otherwise no egregious mistakes that I've seen

I'm getting convinced that the Penguins' nonstop problems with breakouts and getting the puck through the neutral zone without committing hilarious turnovers mostly just boil down to, they're just slow. I can't remember the last Penguins game I saw where various Penguins weren't going after a loose puck and some opponent was skating around them and beating them to it. Crosby and Malkin are fast of course, and Bennett is fast when he's in the lineup. But they have several guys (Adams, Scuderi, Martin, Sill) that are so slow it looks like they're skating underwater, and too many guys with just 'meh' speed or less. They're not lazy, they win a lot of puck battles, but they have trouble moving the puck around the ice because if the pass is even a couple inches off target an opponent gets to the puck first just about every time.

Why is he in the lineup over Stanton or Weber? There is no good reason for that

I was going to watch the Canucks/Wild game and then I remembered that the game would be terrible so I went and found something else to do. I'm glad (in a way) to see that my instinct was right.

The Canucks are real bad, y'all.

Yeah, again, we could've had Hasek in his prime in net and it wouldn't have mattered because the Canucks cannot score any goddamned goals

Not to excuse Miller's lovely play, though

a week or so ago I saw a graph showing the Sedins 2015 production vs. average line output. currently the twins are producing at the rate of a bad second line, the second unit like a bad third line, and you don't even wanna know about the other two. imagine if at any point in the past ten years, the Canucks had picked even one half-decent offensive prospect :(

The Penguins were once very good at embellishing, to the point other fans bitched about it pretty much nonstop, but it seems like they've slowly lost that skill over the years. Was that a thing Therien teaches?

They traded Neal.
