This one feels like it’s gonna be as bad or worse than the oilers game

 

[NHL1674]

Just throw your sticks in the air...
And wave 'em like ya just don't care.
And if you're sent to the box....
For 2 ticks on da clock..

Everybody say, "OH YEAH!" "JUST KILL THE DAMN PENALTY!"

 

[57special]

We used to be pretty good against VGK.

 

[Luceni]

They're gonna be pissed because of last nights loss to Oilers. Expect a though one, its back2back too.

Would be very happy with 0.5 hockey down the stretch until January, it's a tough schedule.

 

[NHL1674]

I just want Ek back.....a healthy Ek.

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

I think with Brodin and Zucc back this will be different than the Oilers game.

Hopefully Brodin doesn't get re-injured by the formidable VGK forecheck. As good as Middleton has been this year, it sure is nice to see Brodin back. His ability to retrieve pucks and get them out of the D zone quickly is elite.

would be nice to have both, of course. Midd's toughness is also to have around.

They played later and had to travel. I don't expect much, but just crush them please.

Hartman - 7 points, making 4 millions
Treniyawn - 3 points, making 4 millions
Foligno - 11 points, making 4 millions

We have the best defensive team in the NHL. Trenin & Foligno have been good to great defensively. Disingenuous to focus only on their offense. Foligno isn’t overpaid at all, and Trenin is but only by like $1-2M. They also have made us way harder to play against, which actually does matter, and will matter more in the playoffs.

Hartman has been crap though. He’s lost a step and he didn’t have a step to lose.

 

[AKL]

Trenin hasn't been anything good and I don't know how we can pretend he has. If the bar is "hasn't been a liability when he's on the ice", well Hartman has met that bar as well.

Feels like a good way to keep money tied up so we can spend it on the kids when they need a raise?

 

[Minnesota]

Wallstedt called up under emergency conditions. Anyone know what happened? Hopefully Gus is okay.

I would have to think Gus, since MAF played yesterday. Was he possibly injured, which led to the struggles during the Oilers game?

Too many injuries. One guy comes back, and another one drops.

Edit: From Russo....doesn't really provide info. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/59...rello-jonas-brodin/?source=emp_shared_article

Goalie Jesper Wallstedt was recalled under emergency conditions, so it’s unclear if he could even start against Vegas and something is wrong with Filip Gustavsson. He did back up Fleury on Saturday and Fleury showed no signs of illness or injury after the game.

30 Jesper Wallstedt

The good news is that Treniyawn is scratched again.

 

[NHL1674]

Maybe personal reasons for MAF, because otherwise it makes no sense.

 

[Minnesota]

lots of teams dealing with illnesses right now (‘tis the season). Hopefully not another injury.

 

[NHL1674]

Wally is starting! Fleury is backup.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Wall (season) debut?! Let's goooooooooo

 

[NHL1674]

I hate putting him out there behind a team with tired legs after playing last night, but Vegas played too. They are gonna be a little extra ticked off after getting pummeled by the Oilers yesterday. Our guys better come out fired up though....and stay out of the box!

 

[NHL1674]

Injuries piling up....
