Harbingers

Gonna have to rewatch the game in the AM but from the bits and pieces I could catch it sounds like KK was taking control and being a leader. I like that. Also was Jack’s goal EN or did he get another one?

I mean Rod did get coach of the year… but ya it better be a whole story line later in the season.

Busy up tonight but saw that hit. Necas was seriously concussed. If we see him before mid January I’d be surprised.

It appears that’s 7 is the cutoff besides Canada.

How many does Minnesota have out at this point?

Sounds like Boston is out.

I think we play tomorrow, maybe Sunday before they end up shutting us down. Even though I know they want us to play Boston.

He needed a break after the games we put him through up in Canada. 23 minutes should be the maximum Slavin is on the ice in a worst case scenario these days. 20-21 should be the target.

Oof goaltending coach is in the protocol now too. I think Rod is resigned to the fact he’s going to test positive at some point.

Absolutely brutal.

Sorry I missed tonight on here boys but was watching when I could. That was an unbelievable effort by the team. Hopefully they can get some practice time tomorrow and be primed for Saturday!

Excellent awareness!

Fugging TDA and Nino injecting energy. Fugging love it.

He’s trying to be mini-Slavin without the reach or stick.

He’s had an issue with that lately.

Nah, gotta go basically a football DL rotation, where think the D is the LB core. So we rotate either the rooks or one pro with two rooks. Keep D1 and D2 on the once for double shifts. Play one rooks + Necas let’s say and then rotate to D3 and three NHLers. Rinse and repeat with the next pairing. It only really adds an extra workload for 2-3 forwards and one defensive line. Id agree if we had Chatfield and or Cole but it’s simply not possible like you said unless we want a few players hitting 35+ minutes of ice time. This is where I trust Rod as an actual coach. His lines are always impeccable, even if they don’t work.

The whole league minus two players and a few fudgers are vaccinated though so we don’t really have a leg up there. It it’s like this is the NFL, where they don’t really give a fug.

Can’t link it at the moment but Waddell is talking to Cory Lavalette. He is PISSED apparently, the league basically said you are playing or forfeiting.

Looked it up. All sign point to Ned in net. Rod better have our crew in shape. It’s a whole nother game tonight.

I assume they are starting Ned tonight?

Who needs a fourth line anywho!

Two full offense. 3 full defense and two 2/3 forwards which I presume will be split with a canes winger every other shift. So basically our wingers will be pull double shifts.

All sports just need to suspend until mid January. There are too many outbreaks and its not going to go away if they just keep transferring it every week or couple days, depending on the sport. Let people have a hard reset at home and roll from there. The leagues should really be taking the higher ground here. But they are not.

That’s my guess, that and venue revenue. The NHL really wants to get the cap up but they can’t do that until the billion+ dollar revenue “loan” is paid off. Which is fugging ridiculous in my opinion but that’s a whole other story.
