I think Kapanen will probably get scratched when Frederic is back assuming no injuries. Or maybe JS lol

Interesting. Looks like Knobby wasn't actually coming to his senses. Who knows how long this lasts before we revert to TippLellacroftlauch tactics.

Pickard has allowed just one goal a game in 3 of his last 4 starts. Ya Anaheim game was rough but that happens
I honestly think he should start against Winnipeg tomorrow. I know he won't, but he deserves that start.

I'll bet that's another purposefully misquoted radio tidbit by the usual suspects.

I also genuinely hope it isn't true.
Competent organizations have people that stay in their lane. Let the coaches coach and let the managers watch video highlights of Dylan Holloway.

He said it during the intermission on TV.
I don’t think he said they forced coaching to do it but he did say that was their preference and that they’ve discussed it during high level discussions recently.
If you’re the coach you probably listen to your superiors though.

I'm not convinced Frederic will be on the 2nd line with Draisaitl.
But it was too many minutes. Knob typically plays McDavid and Drai excessive minutes all season. Really only MacKinnon and Kaprizov see that much ice time, and no time plays two guys that much.
Last night might have been the fewest minutes McDavid has played all year.
Helps when you get some secondary scoring.
Stetcher now appears ahead of Emberson in the pecking order. I think Stetcher is the better option. Will see if Klingberg draws in ahead of both once he is healthy again.
Not sure that Frederic will be a top six guy when he returns.
Would love to get the old Evander Kane back to add a legit top 6 winder to Draisaitl's wing. But not sure what to expect of a guy who spent the season on IR...
Obviously they were pushing hard for Drai to get his points.

and i'm gonna say it cause he takes a lot of flack here, but nurse was awesome again. ever since he got his dome rung hes been a warrior for us, that made darnel fight me at center ice and even after hes still mad is the nurse i love. overpaid potentially but id rather have nurse at 9+ playing that way than not have him.

It's refreshing to have a positive outlook for this club once again. Personally it's the first time since before the club refused to match the offer sheets.
No Perry no finals. Doesn't mean he has to play every game.
We have depth we didn't have last season or seasons previous.
If Kane is available and healthy, along with Fredric, Podkolzin and Perry we have the beef to take those center lanes to the net that we didn't possess in previous postseasons.

Tomorrow will be a test. Strange sport. Van loses to Utah last game 4-1 then destroys the Jets 6-1 last night with Helly in net.

Depth. Have guys playing hard in the dirty areas giving it all while the club rotates the lineup keeping everyone rested and into the games/series.

yes as soon as he comes off LITR he hits the cap so they would ease him back at practice imo

No, he's being forced to trust the under performing forwards. It's not as simple as just use them, but it seems to have worked out in the end.

It's not really a surprise, defensive minded coaches tend to be some what idiotic/clueless when it comes to offensive deployment and strategy.
He's a downgrade on Woodcroft in that regard. Is what it is, you have to take the bad with the good.

Confirmed? I don't believe it. I'd need a direct quote from Stauffer, and even then it's suspect af. Stauffer isn't a liar but it seems like an idea he might just been thinking out loud about

For f*** sakes with this nonsense. It's so weird you assume other coaches don't just lean on their best players. It is better to run Sam Carrick late in games to try and tie things up?
The combination of the struggles of the forwards and the failure of the goalies broke how he was trying to manage the roster through the down swing. Obviously he needed an outside voice, but the results from the players are also coming.
