Did Kane cuss out McLellan on the plane or something??

What could he have done to deserve playing w Fischer and Veleno??

 

[Sadekuuro]

Is it me or have officials been getting in the way and hit by pucks a ridiculous amount this roadtrip?

It was mainly just the Calgary game, but that was one for the books.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

My ESPN+ app is trying to give me seizures again

 

[ElProfessor]

Is Lagesson not available?

/ half the defensemen in the AHL, KHL, SHL who would be fantastic cheap upgrades for 6 months

It is not you...I am starting to wonder if it is a new form of game management or not...

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Soderblom doing all the things in the offensive zone I've been wanting Ras to do.

Yeah, not to beat a dead horse... But Holl is comically bad right now. He just can't handle a full schedule it seems.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

For Holl being absolutely terrible Yzerman sure is making him work for his windfall. Everytime I look up he is on the ice...

Xbox or P5?

PS5, I usually spend two weeks grinding franchise mode like a madman then I don't play for 2 months and the cycle begins again

Rasmussen is like that cat looking in the mirror meme seeing a Lion in reverse.

I'm guessing Holl will see more minutes tonight because of the short turnaround on the back to back because overall he plays so few minutes.

 

[cvaicunas]

That goal by cat was identical to how I score 90% of my goals on NHL25

NHL13 for me

justin holl currently 2nd in TOI for the wings defense lol

I thought the same, but it’s a recipe for disaster. He’s already -1.

 

[Lampedampe]

That's mostly because he gets stuck out there

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I don't think he'll get Seider minutes or anything, but I'm guessing we'll see a more equitable distribution of the Dmen versus him and Gus not spending much time on the ice.

Am I crazy or are the cameras in Vancouver at a higher level than other rinks? Players just look smaller.

You're not crazy. They do seem higher.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Kaiser or whatever his name is not nearly as quick witted as Daniels. Get to the point with your ideas...

I know, right? These lines don't make any sense.

 

[Lampedampe]

It's a good thing neither Chiarot or Seider will play at 4-nations, much needed rest for them.

 

[norrisnick]

I know, right? These lines don't make any sense.

Top line is intact.
3rd line has been one of the few dangerous ones we've had last few games.

About the only other option would be to swap Tank to the 4th and Kane with Copp n Cat on the 2nd. Maybe they want to limit Kane's minutes coming back from 2 weeks off.

 

[theYman]

Missed most of the period due to other things. How did we let Suter score? Of course it was a former player. Nice for Dcat though.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Kane looking around thinking "do I pass it to Veleno... or Fischer??? good lord..."

 

[Reddwit]

Debrincat-Copp-Kane was a decent second line. Why break that up?

 

[norrisnick]

Ping...
