Almost at the point of getting ready to skate. So, maybe soon.

StLouis has been playing Laine on their 4th line and their 2nd pp unit. He does not look good at all. I don’t think the injury will keep him out for long, but it is possible he is a healthy scratch soon unless he improves his game. Look out for another finn instead, Oliver Kapanen, he has been great this far. And of course Ivan Demidov is absolutely amazing.

Totally agree with you about the good play of Timmons. And it should be noted that Power and Samulesson (who has played less due to injuries) have also played well. And there is no question that Dahlin is our most indispensable player on this team. With respect to Byram, I haven't formed an opinion on him just yet.

Lindy mixes lines so much this could still happen.

UPL will go on a conditioning stint and that will likely be a few weeks minimum

What if Arber Xhekaj gets frisky?

Not surprising. Lindy doesn't want to take a chance here. He may well wait until the Toronto home-&-home to test drive Ellis, or will UPL be ready by then?

Many teams do this.

Get the points while we can.

Who gets to fight Xhekaj if the need comes up?

I do recall Rempe laughing at Geersten. If they had mic's on the ice, you know the chirps would have been directed to Geersten's inability to play effectively in the AHL let alone in the NHL.

And who's the guy on the right?

Can someone resurrect the thread about moderators being team employees? There was some serious potential there.

I don't recall Gertsen doing a lot with Rempe. He did grab two FLA players at the same time for a few seconds. Xhekaj is a big tough customer. If he takes liberties with any Sabres players, this will be a test for Geertsen.

I thought I remember seeing Bryson take a hit in the FLA game.

Connor Timmins has been good so far in stepping up to a top four role. Far more minutes than anyone intended for him. He’s blocked more shots than anyone on the team and his on-ice expected goals number is very good. Can’t wait for Kess, but Timmins deserves praise.

Put Östlund on the third line with Zucker and Quinn. Östlund is a playmaker and the other two can finish. Then have Krebs play with Kozak and Dunne. Dunne can actually play a 4th line role. What is Geertsen playing for, to fight with Xhekaj or something? smh

Metsa in.

Dobes has been better than Monty so far. This will be his third start…he’s 2-0, 1.46, .940.

It's nonsense. Benson and Doan are the ones. Geertsen is the Kassian, Scott, Dalton Smith of 2025. You could cut him immediately and it wouldn't matter.

Zach Benson. Alex Lyon. Josh Doan.

Okay, thanks, Montreal!

You just angered Angry Inkman even more. A BABY?? In this economy?

You just angered Angry Inkman even more.

I’m not saying that opponents are afraid of Geertsen but I do feel that he contributes to the collective psyche of a team that has needed some balls for a long time. Guys like him are important to have in your room. Helps other guys play tougher. Sports psyc 101. Call it “nonsense” if you wanna but it’s not.
