only reason engvall plays every game is because keefe coached him with the marlies. can't believe he's getting ice time over robertson

Well that and his speed on the PK

If he was more physical man he would be such a dangerous winger

I wonder, if JFresh's model has him at 4% in EV Def, how exactly is he above average at even strength?


because he said so

In general I just wish he would use his size more. Imagine if he was forechecking more would be more fun and useful

Either way yes I would explore looking for an upgrade

Is Mete-Hollowell the smallest D pairing in NHL history or has there ever been a smaller pairing

If needed both guys are 5'9

Not sure if they ever played on the same line, but

Krug-Grzelcyk both 5'9"
Spurgeon-Hunt both 5'9"

So Grzelcyk is actually 5'10 so had to disqualify the pairing

As for Spurgeon-Hunt yes both have played together so Mete-Hollowell is tied with them

Something tells me Grzelcyk grew or something

Google has him listed as 1.75m = 5'74147"
Hockey Reference has him at 5'9"
Wikipedia has him at 5'9"
Boston University has him at 5'9"

This is wild, the backup goalie (sitting on the bench) won't return to the game

Well would it have counted as Rakell climbed over Kallgren to get it and squashed him lul

Probs would have been voided for goalie interference based on the standard

Even though we are winning cant be allowing Crosby or Guentzel to be whacking at Kallgren when he makes a save

Teach em thats a no no and give it to em

I feel Pittsburgh management made a big mistake doubling down with the old core

Could have went a new fun direction but nah go old and be middle of the pack. And if they miss the playoffs oh god help them

And its weird as usually new management teams dont do that

But then again its Burke and Hextall and those 2 guys love to screw things up

Leafs are playing well - no disrespect...
BUT
PITT is playing the worst 39min of NHL hockey I've seen this year - and I've watched Philly a few times already!

Tryptophan hangover or what!

Management honestly ****ed up. Could have went a cool new direction but doubled down on some old guys

Like to me going younger may have been smarter

I would have kept Marino, let Letang walk, dump Zucker, and signed Trocheck
