Svech will likely go. Brindy has stated that it's basically up to if he wants to go or not because he has been cleared to play. 

Martinook may go but he's probably a gametime decision.

Ferland COULD be back for game 4 or 5 if it goes that far. If we win tomorrow, I think we keep Ferland resting and try to finish it without him so he's for sure good for the ECF. 

We likely go Fleury over Bean but we'll see.

CBJ held serve at home. game 4 should be very interesting.



Basically forces us to win both home games to give us a chance at rest before the next round. Not to mention the sheer momentum of going into the next round off a sweep.

Mrazek out. That is really concerning. Sounds like they feared that the injury was serious, which is even more concerning. I must admit, if we don't stem the tide of these injuries, it's going to be a tough road going forward.



Not THAT concerning. Mac has done well all year. Not concerned with him in net. Team will protect him. Brindy said that Mrazek could be back soon in the presser today but it's unknown really (Brindy's word "it's not as bad as we feared" and "it's a nagging thing"). He's day to day, they're gonna take their time. Don't expect Mrazek until next round or later.

We were behind when McElhiney came in the other night, the D stepped up and did work. Mrzak can rest up.

Mrazek might be back if Mac does struggle a few games...but if he plays lights out for the next few games you might see Mac take over duties, hard to replace a goal tender when they are hot.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
