Hasn't Brent had some penalty kill time?
Didn't someone on this board establish some time ago that Tim Brent is not a penalty killer?
I seem to recall that...
Hasn't Brent had some penalty kill time?
Looking at the TOI stats, I think maybe we were just all off because we're judging 4th line TOI by Westgarth and not Brent? Brent's avg'ing about 7 minutes of even strength play a night. So they're just double shifting one of the wingers with the 4th line instead of playing Westgarth.
That seems reasonable?
we're a Tuomo Ruutu away from being a solid team up front. Losing him has really tossed everything into a jumble and made us a lot softer than we really are.
You think so? I was thinking that the scoring and/or threat of scoring has been pretty satisfactory so far this year, if not somewhat of a pleasant surprise (we're somewhat of a pessimistic group). The defense, on the other hand...
It would appear as though folks are reading my post to have said "we doan need no steenkeen Ruutu". Not what I was intending. I was intending to say that I wouldn't characterize it as "they would be solid if they had Ruutu", but instead "they are solid despite not having him". They would be even better if he were in the lineup (though I'm guessing his wife Mrs Summer Ruutu would disagree with that statement), but without him they are still "solid" up front.
Certainly "solid" compared to what we've seen in the past coupla/few years, anyway.
Summer Ruutu is his sister, and she is involved with Jeff Skinner

The good news is that our main board "worst team in the league" thread was the only one to get locked... so we've got that going for us.
Can someone explain to me how Tlusty is playing on the top line and still doesn't have a point! Killing my fantasy team! I love this guy and was happy to draft him but is there some reason to be concerned?
Thanks guys.
