Harbingers

Even if we have to ice every puck.

We need to give him a clear 2-3 minutes of forecheck at this point.

Like I said Raanta getting real tired.

He actually didn’t. Raanta was just too slow.

Honestly I’d put Koch in at this point.

He didn’t do anything wrong. Raanta just didn’t get the glove down.

Raanta slow there.

Each is playing very serviceable right now.

Can’t be boneheaded here. We don’t know if they are going to come back out skill, chippy or cheap. Methodical is how we have to play this period.

Gotta stop Raanta from getting gassed again with 5 to go. Play a hard physical forecheck for the first 12ish(and get another goal hopefully) and then set back until full neutral zone defense for the last 8ish. Obviously with a few forechecks in the last 8, but I’m talking Ozone defenseman.

Especially since he’s not a PK player though for how long he could potentially play in the post I could see us rotating him in. It seems like he has a very even keel play style, which is what we look for, though never having played with the team. Besides that fug up early in the first he’s done everything he can. Just can’t get away with stick holding as much in the NHL. Even if you are trying to keep it off your goalies noggin.

Still got a long way to go but we have them spinning around like ballerinas right now.

That’a boy Aho.

They have no clue what to do because we aren’t putting the same lines on the ice each shift. Which can hurt us too. 2 is just a mishmash of who the fug ever had the longest rest, plus we are extra rotating our defensive lines and it’s really messing with them.

At this point I don’t think we are playing static lines besides 1.

I mean at this point not even sure who’s on which line.

Goons have gone back to gooning.

I disagree tripp. He lost his footing because the dude grabbed him with his other hand.

Ok refs the fug was that.

Welp. Hats off to you.

So who do y’all want drawing in, I want Pono, but I’m expecting Stromwall or Rees.

Burns gotta find his tip again now.

Necas.. idk. He looked dazed and confused most of it. But move him to one and play the 4 alternating on the 2 line and make 2 basically a second stalwart line.

I wouldn’t trust them for poo, honestly. That news would have came from our PR crew and they haven’t posted anything. Nevermind, there it is, out with UBI.

I also still haven’t seen anything on drury’s status. Which makes me concerned he’s in the protocol. Though the hit makes me concerned it was a neck/back issue. I didn’t see him have any weird motions down low. His chin hit the boards hard, which could have rattled his brain, but his back, lower neck area got a lot of pressure.
