I'm not hoping we have a contending team in two or three years. But at the same time, even though it's hard to say because it kind of goes against myself, I feel so much for this organization, that whatever path they take, I'm in. I made a commitment to this organization a few years back. It was a big decision in my career. I hope they have the same commitment to me. I guess it would really be up to them if they have another idea, but I don't. I want to be here. I want to play for one organization. This one. I love it here. I want to be here and battle through the ups and downs, the good and the bad. It's important to me."

Giacomin Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 No call up to replace a top six forward? I mean, some kind of offensive minded forward? That's what I'd be thinking, especially with our lineup already. AV has no plan when it comes to the kids or injecting some speed and youthful enthusiasm, currently. I can live with DD (for now) getting the start instead of Vinni or Boo But when the alternative is now McLoud or Holland, among others, we are not thinking speed or offense or skill. I guess more dump and chase? To be fair to AV and mgmt, we are giving D'Angelo a chance to play, which is a move that surprised me given the coach. This is a great time to let the kid play, he has a lot of tools. I'm seeing a few good signs too. Keep him in the lineup. Ummm, Nashville is good. We are in trouble. Look at that top 4. And Turris was a great add for them. Really good at home. So begins the road test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryBiv Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 simply cannot get drunk enough and fast enough.....hoping for a very sincere victorious turnaround that will get us playing better moving forward......but, I just don't see HOW! Our weaknesses starting the season has reared its ugly head. No real depth and losing Kreids, Buch and previous injuries have really hurt. But, Let's go Rangers anyway! I will NEVER root against them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our weaknesses starting the season has reared its ugly head. No real depth and losing Kreids, Buch and previous injuries have really hurt. But, Let's go Rangers anyway! I will NEVER root against them! We have great depth, outside of the center position. 3rd line wings are Fast and Miller when we are missing 2 of our top wings. Cant complain about that.

LarryBiv Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Gonna go on a very large ledge (with no chance of falling off) and gonna say that Nashville very much looks like a Stanley Cup finalist, if not champs.
