This is fixable. Take him off the PP until he learns not to be a liability. Let him sit and watch from the bench for the next month. I would rather fail to score goals on the PP than give up SH goals. I’m fact, I don’t think Granato has a choice here. Other teams likely have taken notice and are going to attack him just the same. He’s a weak link.

It’s nice to be leapfrogged in the dumpster fire competition.

I would take any of those names over what we have right now.

The biting aside, when you create a situation where the refs are at risk for serious injury, you should sit for 5-10 games. People can fight, but when the refs intervene, it should be over.

Quinn needs to come hither.

Glad to see Jankowski celebrating in their crease. Nice to see some arrogance and have players support it.

Tage. Generational.

At first I read the title and was like “well, no *****”. However, thinking about this a bit more, this is a great development.

We start every game this way.

Typical car salesman tactic. Do the bait and switch and hope the customer acts irrationally and just buys the car. Reminds me of when I bought my first car. It was an order, not a car they had on their lot. A month went by, nothing. Turns out they never put the order in thinking I would eventually cave for the more expensive model on their lot. They were dead wrong.

I really like Bloom. He’s was a very smart pick. Take a guy showing promise who didn’t play in 20-21. Great roll of the dice. I think it’s gonna pay off.

I really don’t think the hesitancy to draft a C in the last 3 drafts is really going to hurt us. I presume we’ll be drafting one with our 1st pick in 2022 (if not, I’ll change my opinion). We have Mitts, Cozens, and now Thompson and Krebs. We are flushed with 2C and 3Cs. I don’t think drafting a random Center in the past 3 drafts would’ve moved to be needle, as I don’t really see any C’s picked better than we already had. Who knows though, maybe we’ll stumble into one in 2022.

It’s extremely easy to say you would’ve accepted a long-term deal after you’ve been traded. He sure didn’t give off this vibe at his end of the year presser.

I’m brining my turkey in a bag. Of course, the bag ripped on the bottom side. So I used my daughter’s hair ties on both sides, like a hard candy, to seal it. First time doing this.

There’s gonna come a time when there no more manuals made. I drive a manual 2008 BMW 328xi. It’s not made anymore.

I don’t think Granato is going to have traditional 1st line, 2nd line, etc. The lines will be fairly equal, but with some differentiation. He will deploy which line based on the match up. And skew usage based on in-game effectiveness.

Speaking of Arizona, I would give them a ring and see what they want for Hutton.

By the time we’re winning again, the white, black, and red will be considered vintage.

He probably didn’t sign because we had traded for Lehner 2 years before. In an alternate universe, we don’t trade away the 21st pick in 2015, but pick Boeser instead. Cal Petersen decides to sign with us and we make the playoffs last year.

I don’t think anyone here is advocating putting all rookies on the same line. If 1/4 of all our forwards are rookies, this isn’t so bad, especially is they are evenly distributed. Likewise, Mule and Power won’t likely be on the same pair. Plus, Mule is highly likely to be called up relatively soon. So, next year, he won’t be so fresh.

Praise be…

Agreed. That Power will be in the AHL next season is a head scratcher. I mean, what? He was the first player chosen in last year’s draft and has taken a large step already from where he was at draft time. Given our current talent, he could be playing on our team this year if he needed to.

I think it’s ironic we purposely tanked for a “generational talent” and didn’t get him. Then we just plain sucked, won the lottery, and drafted the “generational talent” known as Rasmus Dahlin.

It’s never too early to begin planning a tank.

Come on, push you’re prejudices aside. If Anderson was healthy, he would started and Toker wouldn’t have back-to-back starts. That’s just addressing one player. I’m not sure we would’ve won, but fairly certain we wouldn’t have been embarrassed 5-0.
