What unspeakable horrors is this game going to give us?

Zegras comes back and immediately gets concussed.

 

[ducks8]

No horrors, we find out Carlsson is only out a week and Zegras gets a hatty while fighting Beniers

 

[ScarTroy]

I’ll be at this one! Feels good to say that again, it’s been since before Covid and having my daughter.

 

[GermanRocket7]

I just hope Cthulhu and his Kraken demigods have mercy with us.

I like your attitude

That's dark. I was thinking we get 10 pps and don't score on any of them.

...but Seattle scores on all ten of them.

Speaking of Lovecraftian horrors

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Maintenance day for Strome and Gudas? I remember Gudas not looking right near the end of the last game, but have forgotten what happened. As for Strome, no idea.



We get a Vaak-LaCombe 3rd pairing.

I don't mind that third pair at all.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

I don't mind that third pair at all.

Glad to have LaCombe's versatility available to play RD. I remember last year we tried several LD's to play RD and they all sucked. It's not their fault b/c they've probably played LD all or most of their career. Vaak was one of those LD we tried at RD last year and this year. Happy Vaak will stick to the left side, but also seeing him finally healthy and playing well.

We're actually fortunate to have three LD's who have been playing RD for a few years at juniors or the NCAA. LaCombe spent four years at RD in the NCAA. Zell played RD in his junior career and won WHL d-man of the year twice as well as CHL d-man of the year playing the right side. Also in juniors, Hinds also played RD for his QMJHL career. Hinds has recently been deployed at RD in the AHL with the Gulls.

Newell Brown is still here? Pain.

 

[Frosted Tips]

All I want for Christmas is to get Zegras back in the lineup. I miss that dude

As long as Gudas is taking Lybushkin's spot.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

as a possibility when Lyubushkin is traded at the TDL?

Just saying if LaCombe and Vaaks play 3rd pair, I'd rather have Gudas in the lineup

 

[Leonardo87]

Z is back…

Ohhh... welp, tonight is not that night. Gudas has a maintenance day off today, giving him an extra two days off plus the Christmas break to rest and recover. He's earned it.

 

[ohcomeonref]

Z is back…

Leo who?

Clearly kidding. But this takes some of the sting off.
