I know this won’t go over well.
Should professional players get a whole season as "a write-off"? Is it fair to other players who want a shot to show what they can do?
I am still excited but to your point "less" for sure because these 2 injuries still sting for sure - hopefully we get an update today
Armia likely gets 3RW to start. I d put Pezzeta on 4th line instead of Anderson, wake up call.
Anderson has been bad for the last 3 seasons, how is last season the write off ?
In a perfect world the Anderson experiment would end. Where was the pack mentality right after Laine was clipped the other night? If I am Xhekaj I have a private talk with Anderson and ask that question.
The reality is he is on the team, and he isn’t taking anyone’s spot. Fair, don’t know what that has to do with it. The guy has a contract and will be here to start the year. My point is I’m not going to let last year infect my opinion of this year. I’ll give him 10-15 games to see if he has changed.
My point is I’d like to see how he comes out of the gate. Its a write off for me, I want to see how he comes out in the first 10-15 games.
Looks like someone learned from the last two pre-seasons when facing the Sens.
They should have let Arseneau skate a game or 2.
How can it be a full slate if Gally and Dvorak aren't at practice???
No way Xhekaj is sitting the first game against Toronto, he won't play all the games but he'll be there for that game.
He might get suspended no? Also who sits in that case, Struble? He's been MTL best defenceman in the camp so far, Baron? Do we really go in the 1st game of the season with 5 LD and 1 RD?
He got hit by a pack... and that was the end of Dvorak.
Suspended for what? For Stutzle hitting himself in a face?
