The good news is we don’t need Jank to step in for Geno, but for Bluegar!
we don’t have anyone who can play 2C atm unless McCann is ready...and he should definitely play it...ERod is never the answer lol...
whoda thunk the only impediment to Jank bring anything more than a fourth line plug is just trying harder. Pretty insightful.
the fact that he had at least three opportunities to convert a goal last game, including on a breakaway, and failed tells you all you need to know about Jankowski and the level of “skill” he’ll be bringing up the lineup lol...

What a terrible image.
Honestly, like Sutter and Sheahan and countless players before him, being more aggressive would benefit him. If that’s what was meant then I agree. He wouldn’t be great but he’d be more useful. Being too passive is a major problem.
If that’s what he meant, it’s hard to flip that switch if it’s not wired in there in the first place. Effort is a different story, which is how I read it.

What a terrible image.
Sheahan at least flip flopped on the switch. If they mean being aggressive someone is going to constantly need to be on him about it to at least try. They’re in a bad enough spot with injuries that it’s important enough to put effort into trying. If they meant effort then good luck. I have more faith in getting a player to recognize that they could have done something differently than getting them to try harder.
Time to reacquire Sheahan and yell at him while telling him he’s so special for his confidence.

you know that former NFL doctor on Twitter who can assess in-game injuries practically in real time? Someone send the gif to him. Maybe he'll be more of a help than the actual team
yeah, but “still being evaluated” is not good news on Geno...he could be getting second opinions on what is being considered a serious injury...

I mean, sometimes injuries take time to diagnose. If there's swelling in a knee, for example, you need the swelling to go down to properly determine the extent of the injury.

Yeah. Makes sense why we haven’t heard a peep on Zucker. Why McCann is on his second week of day to day. And it takes a week to get a read of Malkin.

This is common in the NHL.
Alex Pietrangelo has been sidelined for over a week in Vegas. Here's how Peter DeBoer described it.
“I’m not concerned it’s long, long term. But he’s definitely out for the foreseeable future,” DeBoer said.
Knights’ Pietrangelo returns to Las Vegas for injury evaluation
He should have just said he's out until the twelfth of never, and that's a long, long time.

I know we've been spoiled with the Cups and constant generational talents but it must be cool to root for a team that has some semblance of health

A real jerk thing
Yeah, it's f***ing bush league stuff that doesn't really give the team any advantage anyway.

Yes. Certain coaches suck about it. DeBoer is another one that pulls this shit.
