Broken Ankles

Where is the happy face emoji? I actually like Bogo not playing on a back to back after injury. And I approve your healthy-scratch of McCabe.

I find joy in this development. I think they call it schadenfreude. Thanks for posting this!

McCabe has an A, and Risto is being shopped. Only reason that might prevent them from being scratched. I’m with @woods-racer on the experiment. See what happens. What’s the worst thing that happens? They lose?

Too modest. Should have been....

Dahlin & Bogo “We’re getting the band back together”. The metrics last year showed them as a good pairing. Ralph needs to try anything to get Rasmus going.

Load Management. Back to back games? Guessing.

+1 on Lazar. Sandpaper, grit and compete level are other descriptions of his play. At 1/6 the cost of Kyle, I’m sold. Agree also on Risto on net front presence. Why did it take so long? Seriously. After the Ducks game I would have thought teams have solved the power play. Why is Jeff playing 16 1/2 minutes total? I honestly didn’t mind mixing up the PP, but he needs to be back on FL#1 skating 21 minutes a night. Having the same TOI as VO and Ville Vesey (not on Twitter but someone needs to make this a thing) is just wrong. Glimmer - a faint sign of a feeling. Sounds right. Appreciate the effort but still lacking talent.

That save is the key to the period. This team gives way too many under 60 seconds. Mindset in the locker room is way different after going in tied vs down.

Is it wrong that I was disappointed he didn’t fall through the ice? Don’t answer.

They replaced the smelling salts with Chloroform.

It has been said that “adversity does not build character it reveals it.” It does not get any easier for this team. Only three winnable games in the next 15. If we see a collapse like last year, God help us. Massive changes like GM, Coach and most likely Jack for Tank 3.0.

Exactly. Myers WON the Calder, and Dahlin finished third. So he's close. ?

I think that was said about Myers too.

Plus One on this sentiment. I know KO is injured but if either of these two continue to play like that, does he deserve his roster spot back? @inkman you have watched Asplund in Roch this year, what are your thoughts about his game tonight.

According to cap friendly they have $33.6m in projected space, and the Cap will mostly likely go up $3m next season. So $36-37 is close to 40. In addition Casey is a 10.2c RFA. Qualifying offer is all that is required, and is not offer sheet eligible. Montour is still an RFA so unless his deal is long term, his raise will not be that sizable. Ullmark is QO unless he somehow turns into Binnington. Sams’ deal could be big. Depends. After you bury KO in the AHL, you have $20m in space. Agree on bold. Next summer is huge.

Exactly. Is this a Left Right thing? B/c I can think of two LD needing a dose of ‘healthy scratch’.

It’s a little early here on the left, but ummm...ok.

He did score 45 points in 2017-2018 after his injury. I would no longer expect 60+ with his age and the injury but he looks worse than last year and scoring at a slower pace. In fact I think it’s completely fair to ask why E-rod, KO, Girgs and Vesey are not producing. Rodrigues had 29 last year and has 1 assist this year. Vesey is a perennial 15 goal guy with zero. KO Andy Vlad are on the wrong side of 30 so you can expect some decline, but the others (and throw Sheary in this mix) are in their prime and I expect growth. Instead it’s a regression to the lean.

And I bet “he no like vegetals” either......I cannot believe I read the entire history of that meme.

Nor would they make that trade if they did. We need a top 6, so probably should trade all three for Ehlers, however no way does EDM trade Puljujarvi and Chiasson for Sheary and Scandella. I love a Sweet Lou trade idea but in this three way (as it is in real life), one party leaves unsatisfied.

I voted yes too. For same reasons. Love the Seinfeld reference. Both episodes (Contest and Virgin) are top notch. oo many clips on YouTube between them, you really need to watch the entire episode.

Are you sure it was not intended to be written like this? ? I've heard it has a greater impact like that. p.s. Thank you for introducing me to 'aggrandizement' - I had to look it up @ Merriam-Webster.

Risk/reward. If you tell me second + can help us break a playoff drought I’m in. I can’t see that happening with Vlad on FL#2 this year. Nothing says you cannot make a second trade, for a player with term.

Midnight toking aside, a lapse in judgement. ? Thank you. I acknowledge the Senator from NY. I stand behind my statement about the low chance of his trade or that he should be traded.
