The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Biggest knock on Heineman has always been his ability to play healthy with the all out style he plays. Sucks he got hurt off the ice. Hope he can avoid the injury bug.
I've had no qualms about Heineman's game or his health this season whatsoever. I mean they dubbed him Moose for a reason. He's got that combination of speed and mass that is ideal in this league and to me he looks fully in control for most of his collisions. Can't say that about very many of our checking forwards other than Anderson. For me it's one of the things Josh has improved on remaining in control when delivering hits.
 
funny how a 4th guy is so important.
shows how this team lacks depth
I think Heineman- Evans-Armia were more our 3rd line. Gallagher-Dvo-Anderson was the 4th line.

But I'm also thinking we can't afford to lose bottom sixers because we don't have the top guys. The second line has been our Achilles heal.

At one point recently we were tied with Washington leading the entire league with players with 10 goals. Dvo was the only forward without 10. And is he even that bad as a 4c?

sounds good
our 2nd line needs a kick in the pants.
 
How do you get hit by a car?

Seriously. How does this happen?

You'd be surprised how out of it some drivers are. When I got hit by a car a few years ago, the driver was looking right in my direction waiting to turn at a stop with a flasher on as I crossed. I was lucky enough to be staring right at the driver when she gunned into the turn, so I got above the car in time. It was broad day light in the summer, so no ice or visibility problems. Some people are really just that f***ing dumb.

You don’t often get a rookie 4th liner scoring that much. I think it screwed up the chemistry of the 4th line too. Not to mention Guhle going out soon after and Laine disappearing at the same time.

You sure it was an accident? Posters can get kind of upset on these boards…

Heineman has been more important to this team than we imagined.

Many of us were calling for a bump early and often. I hope we don't F around after the pause and start giving him better opportunities to see how his game can benefit our club further up the ladder. I mean like a ten game trial or even more.

I think this guy was stabilizing the bottom six a little more than Marty wanted to admit. Might just be a top six guy in the future. You don't pace for 40 points as a rookie from the fourth line just by taking advantage of good matchups.

I'd put him in the top 6 as soon as he gets back. Dog on a bone forechecker, terrific speed, physical and has an exceptional shot/release. He's our new Lehkonen

Yes. Hopefully, his shot won’t be affected by this wrist injury.
