I still hate the 'Hockey Club' name, but given the track record of new sports team names I guess I probably would've been unhappy no matter what. Commanders is the only recent name change in NA sports that I actually liked (I obviously support the dropping of 'Indians,' for example, but they couldn't come up with something better than Guardians? They could've just gone back to being the Cleveland Napoleons which is way cooler).

It's a huge downgrade from the Coyotes, but least UHC is better than the Golden Knights.

SNOG 3-2 Sharks,
Macklin, Eklund, Toffoli
Schmaltz, Crouse

 

[LadyStanley]

Not sure if Tyler is in or out

Cleveland Spiders.

I'm also certain that "Utah Hockey Club" will just be a thing for a year or two, so whatever, just a placeholder.

 

[LadyStanley]

Utah supposed to have new name announced for next season.



Kostin also non participant at morning skate

Got excited that Smith might be back in only to immediately lose all that excitement seeing Goodrow on his line again.

Barclay Goodrow has two f***ing points in 27 games and one of them was a lucky bounce on that short-handed goal in game 1. You cannot make this up.

Warsofsky has like, line composition split-personality disorder or something. He'll go a few games with sensible pairings and then randomly put Eklund on the 4th line and make Smith play with bottom-6 plugs. I imagine it's some kind of weird notion of how to develop and motivate younger players but I for the life of me cannot see the pedagogical value of these choices.

The easiest solution is to swap him with Kunin. Smith and Granlund were cooking prior to Smith's injury, and Kunin and Wennberg have been pretty good together too.

The true solution would be to launch Goodrow into the sun. Hopefully he's just a placeholder for Toffoli. But Goodrow has been absolutely untouchable in the top-9 despite being the worst offensive player in the entire NHL.

Hockey Club is literally better than Golden Knights or Kraken

 

[MackAttack71]

Hockey Club 5 (Guenther 2 / Keller / Cooley / Schmaltz)

Anything would be an upgrade over those godawful ECHL names. I'd take Seattle Yelling Fish Throwers or Mediocre Coffee Tycoons over the Kraken..

I think it'd make more sense to swap zetterlund and Smith. Smith's a closer analogue to Toffoli than he is for Kunin.

5-2 shorks Mack, toff, zetts, granny, Muhk.
Keller sergachev

I would shuffle all those lines if I'm honest, I was just going for the single quickest move. Goodrow-Wennberg-Zetterlund sounds awful, given that Zetterlund has been very mediocre since he got the bubble on. I think it's really affecting his game.

Eklund-Celebrini-Kovalenko
Kunin-Granlund-Smith
Dellandrea-Wennberg-Zetterlund

I'm just excited to be able to watch one game tonight vs two games at the same time.

Goals for the game: Macklin scores, Sharks lose, Utah continues to rack up points for an outside chance at me getting to go to the playoffs for the first time in years
