My money is on Tokarski right now. It's time for Dell to step up. Edited October 5, 2021 by Digger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would expect Dell which would give him the better chance to perform well (if he can). But really expect that'll just give him the rope to hang himself. If they really want Dell as 1 of the 2 that actually gets into games, need to give him every excuse for his poor performance. He came in cold, the guys in front of him were gassed, ...

Taro T Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Do we know if the NHL decided to have the taxi goalie this year. (Know that was floated, never heard whether it became official.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the 1 that is better than UPL likely isn't good enough. And, while we can hope they keep the better 1 in the lineup, it's not a certainty. 2 minutes ago, inkman said: Oxymoron Think you meant redundant.

Yeah I'm surprised that they don't give Dell the whole game. UPL got two full games. Anderson still needs some time in preseason too though so perhaps that's why they are splitting the game. So far I have liked Tokarski better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would expect Anderson will get the 1st 2 periods vs Detroit & then Dell will get 1 final chance to show his league minimum salary isn't an overpayment. Barring Dell FINALLY getting his head out of his bippy, will be very impressed w/ Granato & Adams if they bow to reality & make Tokarski the 2nd half of the battery. (Which hopefully will force Adams to further accept reality & actually make a trade for another NHLer. Even if Toker wasn't playing way better than he actually is last year, it would be very nice to have a 3rd guy that belongs in the NHL to let them limit Anderson's usage. And if Toker's play last year isn't sustainable, having an actual NHL caliber goalie in his 20's, or even early 30's, would be a good thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if they're going to move Girgensons & Okposo back onto the same line or if this is strictly giving those 2 vets the night off. Interesting that the Thompson at C experiment continues. Asplund-Girgensons-Okposo could be a relatively decent 2 way line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s similar to goalies tho- taller is better unless talent outweighs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
