Harbingers

Put your damn mouth guard in bunting.

Looks like Rod switched our second and third pair. That was off a face off Deangelo was with Pesce.

Quit putting our 4/3 out there together. It’s fugging dumb.

We have last change and Crosby got our 4/3. wtf Rod?

Aho’s gotta score there. Even if he did take a nut shot. That was a wide open net.

Not exactly instilling confidence there Rod. You are going to have to mess up your top 4. You’ve done it year after year when the defense turns to poo.

Ya I haven’t given up on Orlov… he shows flashes when he’s not partnered with TDA. I feel like Donny Wads kinda fuged up with the TDA trade, not trade, signing.

Canes Twitter is not happy about 7-77 being trotted out together again.

Dang, for some reason. I thought we were playing tonight. anywho, everyone is accounted for at practice on the ice today. Including Halak.

I really don’t get what Rod/Tim are doing I somewhat get it with Pesce back now but from before. Every time they pair Orlov and Skjei for a game orlov made progress and looked a lot more settled. Then they would immediately go back to orlov and TDA. Even though it’s obviously our weakest pairing. Then we lose, then they would go back to Orlov Skjei… makes no sense to me.

They are too similar in play style I think. They both are kinda that long reach but 50/50 offensive guy.

As I said above I’d rather Orlov - Slavin Skjei - Pesce Burns - Chatty/TDA… preferably chatty. But I agree we gotta try something at this point. Even if it’s splitting one of the longest tenured defensive pairings in the NHL.

Honestly I’d rather split Burns and Slavin. It’s not a permanent solution, IE: a full season thing burns should do, but it’s a jump start.

We need to give halak a shot. Pytor isn’t a 1A. Raanta is obviously injured. Freddie is the king of injuries(though I get this is far far bigger than a hockey thing and I hope it’s not the end for him but usually blood thinners, as others have pointed out, usually mean the end of a contact sports career). I wouldn’t fug with the defense. Though honestly I’d think about jumbling the lines. Orlov cannot be left on an island.. Slavin, Skjei and Pesce can. If our PP isn’t producing TDA needs to be gone. Id pull Drury and put Lameiux in or fug it. Try Pono or Suzuki.

Which is an issue of our forwards. Man system 5/5 guys have to be going full speed defense 100% of the time.

Holy crap… Philly had 30 blocks?

Fugging national televised games.

Ya, honestly chatty needs a bounce back game. Slavin and Chatty on the same line would be insane.

Burnsie will play despite missing practice. Might have had a personal thing. Chatty is odd man out.

Eh. I think somehow we play spoiler. We are due for a spoiler game.

No burnsie? Also Raanta had a maintenance day yesterday and pytor getting the start… Also can we serious try Lamieux instead of Drury?

Fugging nationally televised game…

Crazy to think we are only playing 4 games in the next two weeks.
