    That was the Chatty we know. Not sure what’s happened his last few games. Glad he’s back.

  2. I feel bad for the dude because he has potential, but he’s just so inconsistent and doesn’t have the chemistry. Been pissed that Chatty was out though

    I think we played better without him but I do think he positively impacts the power play.

    These charts are always a bit silly. but specifically here Turbo, Aho, Jarvis, Slavin and Burns are at least -.75 on defense.

  5. Yeah you say that now, wait until Burns gets benched.

    Orlov and TDA = proven disaster

    Orlov and Chatfield = look pretty much like the 3rd pairing you’d expect to see on a a perennial top 5 team

    IDK, this ain’t rocket science. If I had to critique any aspect of how the roster has been managed since Rod took over, it’s the third defensive pair. We drafted Fleury, who played fine but always seemed to be on a short leash for no apparent reason.

    Then bring in guys like Edmundson and Hakanpaa but don’t keep them around, and then we end up with some dude in camp who looks great and I’m thinking “this dude might be better than Brett Pesce”…..except we cut him and yeahhhh, that was Gustav Forsling.

    And I’m not saying Orlov is a bust or anything, but we could’ve kept Gostisbehere for way less than we paid Orlov.

    TL;DR: Rod and/or DW don’t seem able to believe what their eyes tell them about depth d-men. IDK. It’s weird.

    And for this, on today of all days, I am thankful.

  8. Wow, absolute proof not only that Chatfeld needs to replace TDA but also that Slavin and burns need to be benched. Well done!
