EmptyShelf Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 That was great grit by Foligno, Staal, and Coyle. A hardworking goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not done yet Yea, I think the demise of Fleury was greatly exaggerated by many. In fact, the Penguins, over the last decade or so, have had an embarrassment of riches when it comes to goaltenders. Hey, you know what? Maybe the Wild and they can work out some deal to get Casey Desm….oh wait...nevermind… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Charlie Coyle goal. Not the Jason Zucker goal I was expecting, but hell, I'll take a Coyle tally plus the lead any day. And Zucker may still get his.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyShelf Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Foligno works hard enough to justify more TOI with better lines. Like his game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to 4th liners, ANY time you can get production out of them, it is bonus, and shame on the so called 'star players' if they can't at least match what the gritty 4th liners contribute.

He must have spent the off season not excersising at all, at least Suter has the excuse of broken leg. Unless?? Maybe Mikko is being a really supportive captain, and is dogging it like a 90 year old to make Ryan look faster? He has never been fast, but I would agree that the drop-off has been a veritable cliff this year....How will he look next year!?! Suter came back too soon, in my opinion. I would hate him less, if he was not such an a$$ about excessive TOI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like his game I like what he brings to the team as well....but I wouldn't get too crazy on "moving him up the lines". Maybe a third line promotion playing with larger bodied guys with more hands skills....but no one should be under the delusion he is anything close to top six material. He would get terribly exposed there. Not knocking the guy....I was one of the people on this site last season before the Wild fan migration here who was calling for better bottom six guys to COMPLIMENT a guy like Foligno...but I like him best either right where he is as a leading 4th liner, or if Coach wants to give him some more responsibility, give him solid third line wing time.

rottenrefs Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Ek has played hard too. Seldom does he get results but he's been physical, tireless and has threatened a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurgeon is a GREAT player. For all the sheep that point to Suter, Spurgeon plays better D than Suter, and is as close to Dumba on O as we have. He would be a perennial All Star if he was bigger.....Clyde gets a gift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
