I’m still in baseball mode so i haven’t watched a TON of hockey yet this year and just caught the highlights from today, but from what I’ve seen, he’s one of our better players. Like he’s quite a good hockey player. What a good argument for trading more prospects for veteran players I mean he’s effectively the 2c

Nice little win. It’s just a small thing but I like the play McLeod made on the last regular goal. He gets the puck to the right areas where good things happen.

Workhorse from Whitehorse

It’s mostly conversion imo. 14-7 Shots FLA

Dahlin and Quinner on the scoresheet for the first time

I liked how Thompson capitalized at even strength. Doing exactly what you need from a 1C

Comet 260

I’d bet my broomstick he was joking another fun game today

Panthers are a very deep roster. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we missed Peterka as much as they missed Tkachuk.. JJ was one of the only guys who looked really good game 1 imo They obviously aren’t close as players, but anyone at all scoring right now would stand out a ton on our team

Peterka/Tkachuk is more less an even trade-off lineup relative, it’ll largely be up to Tage Thompson to captitize on the extra space Barkov’s absence at C will provide, both at evens and with the man advantage. If Tage is going to have a breakout game to jumpstart his season, today is as good a day as any

Or getting better chances

I think we are shockingly bad relative to where we should be, after undergoing needlessly long rebuild after rebuild, and where we should be in a GM’s 5th year, more so that we are actually bad. We are way better than the start would indicate, imo we are probably still somewhere in the middle where playoffs look like a tall task but remain possible I’m sure I could be swayed by another few losses here but I still think it’s too early to say the record is reflective, not quite yet That we’d only be .5 games back of the cup champs with a win today demonstrates how small the sample size is, yet At least on this one particular season

We can’t lose every game haha. We’ll take this one.

We also get the backup tonight ”this is how we win”

I might actually watch this since the baseball game got moved to noon. We’ll win this, no way in hell we start 0-4 that’s ridiculous. Quinn has his first nice game of the season, leading to a 2-goal power play performance for the team, and a 4-2 victory.

Michael Scott was sincere

Absolutely. Do You believe icing a young group that takes longer to adjust to a new system presents a potential issue in a year the playoffs are the mandate? Or do you not believe playoffs are the mandate?

The floodgates definitely WILL open at some point, not a prediction, a certainty. There will be positive regression, they aren’t going to average one goal a game that’s ridiculous - The Hawks finished 32nd in gpg last year at 2.17. We are at 1.00. We’ll explode at some point even just to get back to normal bad. Then who knows from there

In a year where playoffs are the mandate, do you believe this presents a potential issue? Or is that potentially not the mandate?

But, as @dudaceklikes to say: not altogether inexperienced As Sidc3000 always says: most of them are seasoned players

LaFontaine warned him remember when he turned down a higher position.

Are we allowed to post the heatdaddy rant on the Sabres today? Too NSFW? It’s therapeutic haha

Great song
