Practice lines today. Neal is practicing with Chucky and Backs. Czarnik back in the lineup. Smith in goal tomorrow night? Dube out?
Really surprised Czarnik took an injury to draw back in. Hathaway and Jankowski have barely played for the past two games.
Based on what we've seen, Peters seems to have a policy that he doesn't change the lineup after a win.
Peters basically stops playing fourth line in the third period if they're losing.
Czarnik and Ryan should switch places
We swapped out Gio and Brodie for some TruculenceGood lord I took a quick glance at the lineup and saw Prout-Stone without realizing it was the 4th pair and had a mini heart attack
I hope Peters takes Ryan off the 2nd PP unit. Among the many things wrong with that unit he's one of them. Useless out there.Frankly if we're struggling to find a decent 4th fwd for that unit I'd rather see 2 d-men out there. Anything is better than what they are doing now because it ain't working.
Yeah just dumb it down, work an overload. Pucks on net with screens

I agree. I was a bit surprised to see Smith slotted in as tomorrow night's goalie (at least in practice today) but I guess management isn't quite ready to give up on Smith... yet.I think Rittich has earned a draw back in; we are back to backs on the weekend so Smith will get his chance to earn a spot back then, but for now Ritter has earned it

Neither are Smith fantasy owners
If Smith is around at the beginning of December he would be a good pick up.My league's had him dropped 2 times already.
He was picked in like the 15th round as a 'steal' by one of our guys; within two weeks he was on waivers, where he was promptly picked back up. He's now on waivers again.

I’m in a 16 team league so goalies are tough to come by. Can’t afford to drop him. I went bargain bin on goalies too, only drafted late
Yeah, we're at 12.
There were a lot of guys who chirped me and one of the other guys in the league for squaring our goalies away within the first 4 rounds of the draft. The guys who have gone bargain bin, have been hurt for it. One guy only managed to salvage his goalie situation while Rinne was out (Saros was on waivers). Now that Rinne's back, he's back to split start goalie tandem. It'll hurt him the rest of the way.
Kinkaid has been good for me and I usually pick up like one of Brossoit or Domingue when Tampa/Winnipeg have a back to back but yeah makes me use up my adds on goalies and carrying 3 hurts offensive production
