Zadorov had a decent interview on Spittin' Chiclets where he said when he came in it took him ~40 games to figure out Sutter's system, and thats coming in as a "Sutter type player". When you have guys like Hubby and Weegar come in who aren't necessary "sutter type players" its going to take a bit to get there. It sucks but kind of expected. Huberdeau has flipped his game entirely. Hes 2nd in the league next to Pastarnak (I think) in advanced stats for defensive forward players but has fallen WAYYYYYY down the list on offensive side. He comes across as a guy just trying to make the coach happy but going to far the opposite way.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Kadri came out hot but has cooled off quite a bit, which Sutter said was expected from guys who just won a cup. He sucked last night so hopefully he comes back hot in the new year. Phillips was VERY underwhelming in his two games he played. Ruzika has been pretty decent and has been one of the few players that has been enjoyable to watch.
At the end of the day we need to get goaltending figured out before we can do anything else. Marky has been BRUTAL this year. He leads the league in first shot=first goals this year with 6. Last night was 2 goals in the first three shots and they were muffins. His glove side is worse than Tristan Jary's ever was. I don't know whats going on with him but as Marshawn Lynch says he needs to care of his mentals.
