Bjork has some moves tonight

Peterka just looks too NHL ready. I don't know what the AHL would offer him.

Turns out wearing pads makes it hurt less lol

That power play looked decent Blocking shots is above my pay grade

Colin Miller killing a guy is why we keep him around

Tokarski continues to look sharp and I don't know whether to laugh or cry

Sure why not lol

At some point he's going to need to start playing adult man hockey or that bridge deal is going to start looking real smart.

Great play by Cozens to set that up

Have cable?

Cozens in the dog house already

I think he'd rather be playing in the NHL 😉

I don't buy that it hurts players to get NHL experience. At this level you don't get better playing against worse competition. If Peterka looks capable then challenge him.

Peterka might stick.

I don't know what to tell you. They're going to have to get really good at playing defense I guess.

Don't expect any changes to the goaltending situation. These guys will just have to accept that there's no help coming, either in net or anywhere else on the ice. It'll suck at first but they'll get used to it, expectations will be adjusted accordingly, and playing for moral victories will be the raison d'etre.

Granato is going to have to be Herb Brooks to get these guys looking like anything resembling a hockey team. Woof.

There is a thread it's just not pinned yet for some reason Edit: what the hell. I started one the other day and it's just... Gone?

So sub Bjork in for Peterka and Anderson for UPL and that's pretty much the roster isn't it. Yikes.

It'll screw their cap hit up in 2026-27 but I don't know if they can afford to keep him around for 5 more seasons after this one.

I'm with you. I think he's toast. He should have bounced back last year if it was going to happen at all. I think that ankle injury ruined him.

I don't think his skating looks good at all. He's constantly getting knocked down and he doesn't seem nearly as agile as in the past. Either he's unable to skate like he used to or it's in his head.

The problem becomes what to do about it. If Skinner is injured so badly he basically can't play at the level he was when he signed the contract what do you do with him?

None of us thought he was coming back into that game. He yelled like he broke his leg. It looked horrible in real time.
