At the very least, they did not allow many shots today at all. And it sounded like he wanted this opportunity to try to find his groove again after thinking it over so he must see the value in it. At the very least, he's likely to face less scrutiny and pressure in the AHL. We may not be a big market but the games have fairly big stakes and have been high pressure with the team underperforming and the top goalie out.
Well, I'm sure they suck based on the standings too, haha. And the fact we both mutually agreed after the ugliness of the split that they would grab some of our players again because they knew they sucked. At the end of the day, I doubt there were a ton of ideal options for a team that doesn't have a full-time AHL squad and had a goalie that was sucking donkey balls.
Well if you think about it, AHL players on the aggregate are considerably less skilled/talented than NHL players. So a "high danger" chance against in the AHL is really much less dangerous than one in the NHL. For him trying to rebuild his confidence again it definitely makes sense to go up against less talented skaters, even if the Wolves' D sucks again this year (I haven't followed them but they were atrocious last year). Regardless of how it plays out there, not really sure it can hurt, and it's better than him just sitting around cold for weeks/months.
...except that Antti murdered our hopes of winning the division?
I do not wish my shitty analogue to be looked at too close into.
What are the stipulations, only Koch and Raanta get starts for the rest of the season?
I'm not even sure Freddy comes back to be honest
Be honest for a second, the only reason he's getting called up is that we have no options and couldn't swing a trade before Kooch showed he cannot start every day. And he's only getting called because of his name, not his play
With 5 days left in the year you’re really going out on a limb there!
