He is pretty good. I want him to get a shot on the Leafs at some point this season.

It may seem mean but I hope he had an injury so it can explain his passive and unbothered play recently.

Yes but the main difference is that your other players are still contributing, ours aren't

I mean at least he’s getting playing time. Ducharme really does not like Brooks.

I’ve got a little list I felt like making; with your guys help.
For the sake of my on knowledge I’d like to put together a list of every teams style/ strategy/ play identity.

Im going to edit this comment with your guys replies/ opinions (and my own) the longer the comment is up. So for example; the Sharks play dump and chase. Feels like they always have and always will and when it’s successful it’s fun to watch but when it’s going bad, IT IS LIFE DRAINING. You can even put together a OFZ and DFZ (like Dump and Chase/ The Trap) etc. Looking for opinions on all teams if yah want!

So all 32 Teams Style:

Anaheim Ducks :
Arizona Coyotes : Tanking
Boston Bruins :
Buffalo Sabres : Outwork?
Calgary Flames :
Carolina Hurricanes :
Chicago Blackhawks :
Colorado Avalanche :
Columbus Blue Jackets :
Dallas Stars : Dump & Chase
Detroit Red Wings :
Edmonton Oilers : McDavid
Florida Panthers :
Los Angeles Kings :
Minnesota Wild :
Montreal Canadiens : Trap?
Nashville Predators :
New Jersey Devils : Speed/ Finding their identity
New York Islanders : DEFENCE
New York Rangers :
Ottawa Senators :
Philadelphia Flyers :
Pittsburgh Penguins :
San Jose Sharks : Dump & Chase
Seattle Kraken :
St Louis Blues :
Tampa Bay Lightning :
Toronto Maple Leafs :
Vancouver Canucks :
Vegas Golden Knights :
Washington Capitals : Aggressive Forecheck
Winnipeg Jets :

Dallas: dump and chase, more specifically turn over the puck and do nothing about it and play sucky players a lot of minutes (Blake Comeau).

The Capitals tend to play a physical game, with, from what I've seen, Laviolette encouraging an aggressive playstyle at both ends allowing players to attack at will. A defining feature of the team is the Slingshot, the dumbest entry to a power play the world has ever seen, where the defenseman (usually Carlson or Schultz, skates up past center with the puck only to turn around and drop it back to a forward (ususally Kuznetsov or Mantha this year) and let the forward rush in with no defense behind them. It has seemingly lead to a lot of shorthanded goals given up.

The Sharks run that too often with our Karlsson dropping it off

I keep consistently seeing people misspelling Elvis's last name as "Merslinkins" and "Merzlikens" and it's pissing me off. Misspellings and mispronunciations have always been a pet peeve of mine, and i really want to say something about it, but it would likely be an infraction of some sort (likely flaming)

Yeah, that's gotta be annoying, especially for Merzlinkins himself.
