    The GOAL this year is playoffs, NOT development.  Wtf would they give him a few more games if they've seen all they need to see already about where he is at as a player?

    Personally, expected he'd get 1 more game against a lesser opponent, but thought there was a strong possibility he'd get sent back after that game.  They obviously decided they've seen enough and didn't need to overwork the rest of the forwards by giving him 4 more minutes in another game.

    Sure, playing 4 minutes on a 4th line really showed his ability. 🙄 He should have been given the same opportunity as Benson. I’d rather see what his upside was then watch Jost or Olofsson.

    The forward group is kind of a mess right now. Rousek and Biro are in Buffalo.  Captain Michael Mersch is out probably long-term with an upper body injury suffered on Wednesday, Brendan Warren is out into December with a broken jaw, Linus Weissbach may be ready sometime this month, and Aleksandr Kisakov and Brett Murray are considered shorter-term injuries.

    Understood, but they had forward call-ups from Jax that they didn’t use.

    What an awful tragedy.  Probably my biggest fear when coaching youth hockey was to have a freak accident like that happen.  Absolutely hate to see a guy's skate getting up in the air.  Was there when Zednik nearly expired.

     

    I had it happen when I was coaching my son’s U18 travel team. Our player got upended and his skate cut the other team’s goalie’s throat. Their coach, who happened to be the goalie’s dad, rushed out and took his shirt off to put pressure on the wound. I put my jacket over him as he didn’t want to let go. Fortunately it didn’t hit an artery, and he was conscious until the ambulance arrived, and ended up ok.

    Not disagreeing with what you said, just what the article was suggesting/saying

    The fact that there is talk of giving Atlanta a 3rd shot at a franchise, but won't consider a 2nd chance for Quebec isn't right

    The opportunity for corporate sponsorship and advertising is so much more in Atlanta than Quebec. Plus Quebec hurt themselves by building an arena with a small capacity.

    I went to a Thrashers game and it was a good atmosphere with decent attendance. But perennial losing turns off fans. An expansion team does much better these days.
