LETSTUCHINGO Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 I hope Dahls is just a rest day. He was grimacing in pain at the end of the game on bench! Quote
PickaPecaPickles Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 I really like these forward lines. I'm wondering what they do when Norris is back? I'm assuming you have to send Helenius back? Quote
That Aud Smell Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 per multiple tweets from beat reporters: dahlin was given a maintenance day today after he got nicked up by the shot he blocked late in the 3rd period last night. he is expected to play against the islanders. 3 2 Quote

I know about those, but I thought there were more available, even if through a call-up. That must mean Dahlin will definitely be back, which is good, but still... Quote
JohnC Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 (edited) The Benson/Östlund/Helenius is the most interesting and fun line to watch. Benson is Benson, and everyone is aware of his game. But what has impressed me about Östlund and Helenius is that for young players they play as if they are mature players. The more I watch these two the less willing I am to deal either one of them. Obviously, you have to give up talent to get talent. However, I'm leaning toward keeping our own young talent that you know that will get better. Edited January 23 by JohnC 1 2 1 Quote

That must mean Dahlin will definitely be back, which is good, but still... Right now, they're at the 23 man limit with 1 spare G, 1 spare D, and 1 spare F. With 2 D not practicing, that puts the spare F into the 6th D slot. They're on the road. They aren't going to call somebody up just to practice with the team 1 day. And even if they wanted to do that, they'd either need to put one more person on IR or send somebody to Ra-cha-cha at least long enough to play 1 game for the Amerks. Way easier to juat have the spare F rotate through. 2 Quote

If they revert to being "kids" at any time the whole house of cards might crash down. Ride it as long as you can though. Maybe it never crashes. Maybe we are finally lucky with numerous things coming together at once. Hopefully they won't fall apart like Peterka-Cozens-Quinn did the last time we had a "kid line". Quote

The kid line is playing well right now. Will it slide after getting a lot of heavy duty work? Probably so. But when you watch them, it is obvious that all three players have talent and will get better. One aspect about that line that I like a lot is they are more willing to shoot the puck. That is something the other lines should do more of. Quote

In addition to Dahlin, Kesselring is still nursing something. Maybe they will tomorrow. But it doesn't make sense to take somebody out of the Amerks lineup to travel and miss the practice anyway. After the game in Uitca tonight, they could have somebody head to the Island tonight or in the AM. 1 Quote

I'll be really curious to see what happens when Norris is ready to slot back into the line-up. If the kid line is still jamming you can't break that up, and if you can't break that up, where does Norris slot it? Does he replace McLeod as the 2C and have Mcleod center the 4th line? I also wouldn't mind seeing him playing next to Tage on the 1st line but I'm not sure how lines 2 and 4 would then shake out. I suppose these are good problems to have.

Just a bit of push back and big grin on his face. Awesome. 2 1 Quote

Awesome. He and his young line mates are not intimidated playing at this higher level. They are producing while also having 🤩 fun. And to our benefit are fun to watch. Quote

I don’t watch AHL games so I haven’t followed Rosen closely. I did recently read that his recent play is really good. Quote

dudacek Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 Ryan McLeod is 2nd in ES scoring over the past 20 games. Dont think you want him on the 4th line. 1 Quote
