Okay, I’m looking for a third phrase to add to my drinking game tonight.
1) Goodrow can play all 3 positions.
2) Sam saying: “Excuse me Joe”.
3) ???

All suggestions welcomed.
If you REALLY want to punish yourself, drink every time one of them says the word "good".
 
feels like they're gonna play a game like they did against Columbus tonight lol
 
I expect nothing from the kids at this point. I don’t think that there is an “ah ha!” moment coming for either of them until something significant changes. Laf and Kakko (and Chytil when back in) will continue to have the impact of replacement players while everything remains status quo.

I’m expecting a long stretch where Fox and Shesterkin are the only significant bright spots. I can’t see anything lighting a fire under Zib’s ass. I don’t see Panarin and Strome turning it up - I actually think that they are “distracted” or sulking over the likelihood that Strome isn’t re-signed. My expectations are a bottom 10 finish, Bread’s worst season as a Ranger, a disappointing regression from Mika now that he’s locked up, very meh production from the kids (35-40 points tops). Fox will have a career year offensively. Shesterkin will have a Hank year, where he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves because his GAA is inflated by being hung out to dry too many nights.

And I’m fine with it. Not fine, it’s disappointing and frustrating. But I’m good - I accept it - I understand that these are my expectations and I’m not going to get bent out of shape about our performance. If we exceed my expectations, excellent. But this is the bar I’m setting for what I expect the team to do this year, so that I know where my threshold for disappointment is.
 
Honestly, what are we actually doing with Lundkvist at this point. If we’re playing stone hands every night, lets send him down to get minutes.

Considering he can go up and down freely, it’s pretty weird to keep him up if he’s going to sit. Even if you wanna get him back in 5 games from now.
