The lines if Wood and Kovalenko end up out...

Colton - Mack - Mikko
Kivi - Mitts - Ritchie
Ivan - Kelly - LOC
Steinburg - Wagner - Some AHL scrub
Kovy is fine, he came back. He’s busting his ass but he’s not a top 6 guy and that’s kinda the problem. Ritchie definitely ain’t. And LOC looks pretty meh. They’re in tough.

LOC looks like he doesn't have anything close to the same burst or mobility he had prior to hip surgery.

Why they gave him that contract extension prior to even seeing how he looks is beyond me.

Speaking of, LOC is a storyline that has flown under the radar. He looks not even remotely close to himself, both in skating ability and in the tryhard he's known for being. Not an encouraging start after being rewarded with that extension.

LOC dumped a puck in about 8 feet before reaching center ice and was shocked they called it icing.

All this time around the donkey twins Colton and Wood has made him a hockey tard, too.

Can't really blame 4giev when the opponent had Korpisalo lol.

I still would give Kähkönen the next start.

Let’s be honest. We’re not firing Bednar.

Isn’t he in year 1 of a 3 year deal?

And even IF they decided to fire him, I cannot think of a worse time to do it. The new coach ideally creates a spark. Who’s the new coach gonna get a spark out of? Kylington? Steinberg? Kovalenko? Kelly? Ritchie? De Haan?
It would be monumentally stupid to fire him as well. We are missing for top-six wingers, 2D, have terrible goaltending. Even he cant do miracles, as we have seen in his very first season.

Didn't watch beyond the 1st as I had to get up early. Was expecting a closer game but still a loss, and it happened. This team is rolling on the PP but a complete disaster otherwise.

Hey, lets see the positive thing: We stayed under 6 goals against this time...

I would call that a step in the right direction. :cool:

Is there any team in professional sports that has half of their team "injured" (or out because of drugs) before the season has even started?...... :laugh:
