Pay wall.

Peterka-New Guy-Thompson New Guy-Kulich/Norris-Tuch Zucker-McLeod-Benson Greenway-Krebs-New Guy Dahlin-New Guy Byram-New Guy Clifton-JBD New Guy Reimer Not sure who the new guys are exactly but you don’t get out of a decade and a half slump by running it back. I think what will happen is: Byram gets traded. 👎 Thompson starts as 1C. UPL as starter. 👎 Levi as backup. Again we try Benson in the top six. 👎 And for a crazy prediction, either Norris or Kulich get traded. 🤷‍♂️

If we expect other countries to keep their criminals from coming to our country we need to do the same. It’s also giving off a dystopian “Escape from L.A.” vibe. Criminals also provide a means of getting information on bigger fish. Kind of hard to do when they’re in another country.

I think Krebs could be a good 3C with Greenway on his wing. A scoring winger on the opposite wing would be ideal IMO.

Paging James Reimer

I’m looking forward to the summer threads about roster configuration. There’s actually so many possibilities and areas to address. Do we give up assets for a starting goalie? Do we go after a top four dman? Top six forward? Who plays with who?

Boston looks like the epitome of who gives a 💩

Yeah. I think this is what people mean when talking about more physicality from the defense. Don’t have to bury a guy but take the body.

Tuch has the defensive stick and Zucker the offensive. Both good hand eye coordination.

Wow. Nice move.

Why didn’t Zadorov pass to his partner?

Too hot to handle for Korpisalo.

Yeah, short term with high money.

Which why I am surprised there isn’t a thread about it. Will definitely be a huge offseason decision. If he doesn’t get an offer he likes it could impact his desire to stay. Or not.

Surprised this isn’t its own thread. And yes.

Yes. He and Malenstyn would be human missiles.

I think Dahlin, Tuch, Greenway, Zucker, Malenstyn and couple others would thrive in a playoff environment.

Wow. UPL bobbles the ground ball.

Meh he’s ok. J/k

Now he should.

This was the original conversation. Both players had a turnover and one got punished. Someone asked why both didn’t. The answer is one is better than the other at scoring and we were down by two.

Because sitting the guy who is arguably the hardest worker for making a mistake is one of many ways to send a message. He’s not going to sit a player who has a much better chance of scoring when down by two.

That was close.

Not really. Benson is a hard worker but he’s not a go to guy for production when you’re down by two. If Lindy is going to try sending a message it makes sense to sit Benson because he’s a hard worker. Not like you lose a scoring ability by doing it.

There ya go. Lindy isn’t going to bench Peterka for making the same mistake as Benson because of the in game situation. He’ll bench Benson to send some type of message though. In that situation Benson was expendable.
