Harbingers

Fyi practice is at 11:00. Dunno if we are practicing tomorrow too or morning skating Saturday(doubt it).

The more I think about it if Fast can’t go Saturday I want KK on Staals wing for the shutdown line.

Fun Fact: Only canes to play 82 games. Martinook, Burns, Orlov. Other canes to play 81 only to be sat in a not meaningless game Jarvis, Slavin. Everyone else was 80 or below. With the except of Noesen who I believe missed a game early this season with Covid/RSV. Skjei and Staal also played every game they were started in as well as KK(who is lower due to healthy scratch).

I thought Vancouver was legit out of the mix, crazy they are still in it, goes to show what losing game 82 means. Also fify, “canes play well away against not west coast teams” I honestly think Rod didn’t think we’d lose 82 because our goalie let in 6 goals…

Flipped over to scout the isles after the first in the Tampa game. That game was sealed from the second TB goal.

Better.(than the 12:30 game on Sunday)

Everyone is like Toronto dipped to get Boston. I’m like nah. They literally are just playing to get Matthews a goal. They are not playing sound hockey at all.

Also, everything I’m hearing so far(NHL insiders on X, Sirius NHL, NBA playoff schedule) points to us being earlier slot(yay…. not) on Sunday. I’m hoping for Saturday though.

Hype teaser just dropped.

Kuz pre and post trade. 0% WAR…

What are we thinking for lines if Fast can’t go for some games? My Preferred: Guenz - Aho - TT Svech(*) - Kuz - Jarvis Martinook - Staal - KK Noesen(*) - Drury - Necas What I think will happen: Guenz - Aho - Jarvis Noesen(*) - Drury - Necas Martinook - Staal - TT(*) Svech(*) - Kuz - KK(*) *Interchangeable

Well Sutherland really fuged up the game by blowing the whistle. They need to rewrite the whistle rule somehow. It’s becoming a regular issue.

Seriously.

One thing I will say orlov was just going through the motions and trying not to get hurt. TDA still grading low on defense. Kuz with his usual grades. Comtois I thought was actually good.

Leafs appear to already be in playoff form.

Rough ‘em up sure… beat them I’m not so sure. I think pens would have beat the rags.

Oof Rod said on fast “I don’t know which way it’s going to go”.

Which is also on the fugging refs. Sutherland should be out of the playoffs for that poo.

Caps are in. Fug. Was really hoping the rags would get the pens.

Rangers and capitals are almost a sure thing at this point.

Freddie Pyotr Perets/Vondras (Camp opportunity for 3rd/callup) Martin Of course Rod would probably put Martin 3rd though. We need to start grooming Perets to replace Freddie in 2 seasons though. Bring in someone if Freddie retires is a must. I also don’t know if we can move Vondras down here this offseason for ECHL or AHL. I hope so. @MillionDollarCam is he still under contract with youth Canada league next season?

Ok… Mike saying Comtois is going to be a disaster at some point.

Think it’s time to shorten to bench. Cleveland is turtling on top of the fact they can’t get us out of the O zone once we get in.
