Speculation: Another year of this Bluc **** (The 2024-25 season thread)

[Statto]

Something is amiss.. you have a player that keeps putting himself into dangerous situations and getting concussed - that has totally has effected his career and physical health, and yet there are no apparent changes... What does that say to you? Ive have not heard it acknowledged that these devastating hits are partly due to his inability to avoid them.. Maybe if it was acknowledged Id feel like there was some team level awareness. Maybe if we had actual hockey press in this market the question would get asked.

Why would they acknowledge it if they thought it was a flaw in his game? It’s an unrealistic expectation. I’d be surprised if any franchise acknowledged such a thing and based on history, stunned if the Kings did. Nor should they.

It’s not a head injury that he’s out with anyway.

If Winnipeg wins the cup does Blake get his name on the cup?

I think they have to petition but it would be rude if they didn't

They're peaking too early.

I feel like this happens a lot with WPG, though I could be misremembering.

Sure seems like Hellebuyck runs out of gas by/in the playoffs every year though, no? I'd have to check. Not making a real argument, just all feels, lol.

It looked more shoulder/neck for Turcotte than head in my opinion unless I missed one of the angles.

I thought I saw one of the trainers working on his shoulder/collarbone area on the bench before he was sent to the locker room.

a team right after my heart.

This team could use a little scoring punch especially on the 2nd PP unit. Let Arty set up near the right circle and put Q on his opposite side. Get Danault off the PP (nothing personal Phil).

Also, great news for Turcotte. Hopefully this is just a minor setback for the guy and he's back in the lineup in a couple games.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with #Artyparty
