Interesting. Never been a super huge fan of the matte look on helmets.

Will need to see them with the jerseys, but those Tyler Matte helmets look good so far. It’s the shiny helmets that Vegas and LA have worn that I hate

Christ, Juulsen again. Is Friedman hurt?

I thought concussed, don't know where I heard it, so take that with a boatload of salt

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

Christ, Juulsen again. Is Friedman hurt?

I wonder if it’s a size thing. With Soucy out they don’t want both Friedman and Hirose in the line up, so they put Juulsen in.

If he is, they haven't said anything.

Whenever Friedman has got in, his ice time has dipped to at or below 10 minutes. I haven't noticed a big drop in his play from when he first was acquired so I don't understand why they've significantly cut back his minutes even before his benching.

Juulsen plays smaller than Friedman

i noticed this too, and i credited it to Myers turning his game around to a degree, but maybe it's more than that.

Demko or DeSmith?

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Demko or DeSmith?

Coming off back to back losses and a break at home between games, I'm guessing Demko.

 

[Vector]

Demko or DeSmith?

No word yet but I’ll be surprised if it’s not Demko.

Yep

 

[wonton15]

The only logical explanation is that Friedman is banged up. Which makes no sense because they’ve said nothing and there are probably more banged up players playing through things

No more Juulsen please

[wonton15]

At least Friedman is in

But Juulsen is immortal

[Peen]

Didn't see a huge difference between Hirose and Juulsen's overall performances if i'm being honest especially when you factor in the physicality

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Juulsen is like a nightmare that won’t go away until we are close to 500

 

[Josepho]

Friedman and Juulsen in over Hirose is slightly better but still not good enough.

 

[sandwichbird2023]

Every coach has a player that they have irrational love for, I guess Juulsen is this player for Tocchet.

I know SJ has won 3 of their last 6, but I'm still not sure how? Look at that roster, there is like 1 NHL top-6 forward, and 0 NHL top-4 defenseman.

 

[JT Milker]

Is there a cap reason they won’t call up Wolanin that I missed? Or is this due to waiver eligibility?

Neither. He's injured.

 

[Zippgunn]

Way bigger game than it should be, especially if they start Demko. If they sleepwalk through this and he lets in a couple of laughers it could be ugly...

 

[alternate]

Not going to call game 19 a must win, especially after we've built up some cushion, but we can't afford not to take 2 points tonight.

Hopefully the boys aren't going in expecting 10 goals again. Like to see them get back to the "staples" tonight and really focus on sound structure for 60 minutes.

 

[Canuckle1970]

This is a must win, even if it's by 1 goal.
