Harbingers

Ribs or worse stuff under it. If its just ribs probably weeks. Pure twitter speculation though.

I didn't see anything that looked super serious last game. Not good.

I think if we don't sign Dougie by then he's as good as gone unfortunately. If not we really can't protect both Nino and Tro, if we do resign Dougie... Oof. Nino, Foegele and Tro open in the most likely scenerio. I do not want to lose either Nino or especially Tro. They are playing absurdly good right now but Tro is just out of this world and statistically our best player.

We’ll have 6 on D unless there is an injury I missed but I wouldn’t be surprised if we call up Ryan to travel with us in case for these two days though. The more I think about it the more I think Gardiner is going to be the cap casualty after this year in any scenario involving Dougie. Though I do personally really like Gardiners play when he’s on the ice. He’s one of our better blue line guards while we are in the offensive zone.

Fleury is eligible no matter what. Still waiting for clarification on the wording of this draft because if they did change it to "NHL Players/Professionals" bean won't be eligible. He would if its "Professional Players" though from the two seasons with the Checkers + this year. But like I said in the one thread in the super long breakdown. We are going to have a much much higher value target available from the forwards no matter what. I wouldn't worry about Fleury or Bean much at all unless the Kraken's GM targets them specifically over who ever is high value we are forced to leave open.

I almost have a feeling they are hoping he'll be grabbed so they can meet Dougie's demand and sign Jake Bean who is also up this off season as an RFA.

Ya I don't see TT coming back for a month at least. The fact he was cleared and then experienced symptoms again is not a good sign.

Saw something like this coming. Not sure how it works with his limited no trade contract. Kinda worried he's not going to pass waivers for us though. Would have been better to trade him in that case. In the trade case he can pick 7 teams he doesn't want to go to under the M-NTC. Maybe we did try to shop him and no team on his accepted list wanted him? Of course people are conspiracy hat claiming this is a way to get Eric Staal. I just don't see it. We simply don't have the opening for another center except maybe fourth line but I'd honestly rather have the young bloods getting experience there. I mean we already have 3 C's manning our entire 4th line currently. Also; Figured. Also there are fans asking about Staal and Paquette who both didn't finish the game on Thursday. They both practiced fully today. So not sure if that's something to read into or not. Staal has definitely taken a beat recently, that's for sure.

Figured with how things have been going this year a dedicated thread is in order. Looks like if I had to guess Trocheck, Gardiner, TT & Mrazek won't be traveling with the team for our two game stint up in Detroit. TT may travel as they have him skating but I doubt he'll play anytime soon. Still no word on what happened to Trocheck from what I can tell and no rush on Mrazek with Ned and Reimer holding down the fort. Though I would like to see him get a game soon to get his feel back up if he is medically cleared(Which I feel he is, I think we are just being extra cautious).

I’m not even too concerned with goaltending this year at this stage. No we don’t have a fleury or valsesky(spelling) and we have to expect a few goals against. But against teams like TB, Caps or Boston getting physical and Knocking us out of our groove/off our game. Our last two games against TB had shades of the Boston games without goals in the net getting called back which is even more concerning. If we want to get out of the division its going to have to be against TB most likely so i'd really like to see us figure out Vas and close out the series 5-3 before the playoffs begin.

http://moneypuck.com/predictions.htm TB didn't move at all oddly. We're up to 97.5 though. Our highest so far I believe.

I have a sneaking feeling we draft a WR early in the draft from a Rhule circle to replace Samuel.... IF we don't resign Curtis.

Crazy Graph.

Third times a charm. Red wings finally got an empty net.

And missed a wide open empty net shot.

Fugging Detroit missed a wide open net on a clearing attempt to seal that game.

Ok, Dunno why I thought we were tied with TB in points. Thanks yo.

Hmmm We were at 38 points before this game, right? Or do I just have my numbers all screwy. I thought we were tied in points with TB going into this.

Is Geekie credited with 2? If so I hope he gets a third for our first(?) hat trick of the year.

Bean and Fleury working hard tonight. Gotta work on their clears next practice.

Svech either wants to punch someone or score a goal. He's feeling this drought.

What was the penalty? I missed it.

Crazy, you guys are going tonight too, I thought they always had us staggered.

Oh tripper.
