2 of our most underachieving forwards this year. Maybe this helps them to reset. Come back with a bang. Who knows

Arvidsson seems like a prime player to pull a stone for us and be sore before the TDL.

Edmonton Ex-Pat who still loves his hometown team.
Really early indeed, lol. Gonna be some tough back to backs, so hopefully the team is well rested and not sluggish out the gates.

Sweet, thank God
I thought the Oilers when under.
Seem like they haven't played in years.
Do they still have any players I should know about?

Nobody should ever have that done to him.
But if it were allowed, Nuge would be first in line.

Knob says time off can be used for skills training. Maybe we’ll find the confidence to finish again and get that embarassing shooting percentage up

I think Knob's personal call-out of Stu will work wonders. He needed to hear it.

Yep. My fear though is Stu is putting in long hours with Dr Schwartz this week. Lots of time to really f*** things up even more, er, I mean improve his game. Ya thats it.

Yeh we could use/need an upgrade on Schwartz. I thought the Nucks fired their goalie coach last year, we should inquire.

Ian Clark. Demoted him after the mysterious medical ailment that Demko acquired. I heard it suggested that it was due to certain over work of moves in practice/training that caused the injury. Who knows. He’s a pretty solid goalie coach regardless. I mean what could be worse than Schwartz? He’d have to give Skinner Ebola to be worse.

I think I heard that too. Overwork seems to breed good reflexes though. Could be exactly what we need.

I've heard Demko has a degenerative knee. Reports have said he needs to learn how to play through his injury. If you follow basketball, it's going to be like Kawhi Leonard... they will need to keep 3 goalies on the roster for his sake.

and again...
Feels like this looooong break came at a poor time... they finally bust out with offense again a decent team and then sit and rust up again for almost a week. All that potential momentum down the drain.
Of course on the upside... maybe the rest does everyone some good as well as I'm sure there's always injuries even to the current roster players that could use some rest and healing time. It's only going to get tougher from here on out as the season grinds on for another 60 games.
