Poor Wiznewski. Can't even get a shout out on a message board

I propose that :47 seconds into each game, everyone should take a Wiz in his honor...will that work as tribute?

No Aho at morning skate:

If i’m Suzuki I put in a trade request this summer, assuming I haven’t already been dealt. If the Canes are in a spot like this and I can’t get a game over 7D Stillman, it’s time to get a shot elsewhere.

Asking zamboni driver for tips with our upcoming tilt with the Leafs.

Going around in the Triangle.

Got my haircut this AM and she said that her parents, in-laws and her son all got the flu within last week.

Got a quick haircut & bolted quickly.

my wife and i both have it right now, and it suuuucks

Really hope aho is nothing serious but this is a perfect opponent to rest against. Interested in seeing roslovic at center, and with rantanen too. I doubt he’s a long term c solution but he couldn’t ask for a better situation to try it

Discovered this YT channel in the main board thread. This level of analysis is phenomenal.

TT gets some pre Four Nations bonding in with his pals



In the Chiclet's podcast, Necas said the rest of the team was going to Anguilla for the break.

This Suzuki thing is so strange. The kid is playing very well in the AHL. Bring him up and see if he can hang with the big boys. I absolutely ask for a trade if he hasn't already.

Something was going around my office a couple weeks back and between a Thursday and the following Monday nearly 50% of our building had some variation/severity of whatever it was...not too serious but enough to feel kinda crappy for a day or two

both COVID and Influenza-A are spiking across the triangle right now. My FIL has Influenza-A, and after being admitted to the ER on Monday, is now dealing with in-home care because there weren't any rooms at REX to keep him (he's apparently doing much better today). And my oldest daughter came down with COVID last week, and my wife tested positive for it over the weekend. Not that its really stopped their routines, just glad it wasn't full blown flu.

Also worth noting that the bird flu is a strain of influenza A.

Producing at the AHL level and playing the way the team needs are two different things. It could also be related to the role of the guys that have been injured this year not fitting what he does best. FWIW, when I've watched the Wolves, guys like Jaaska are pretty clearly a better fit for the team style and were also producing well.

If I had to guess, he's either a throw in for a deadline trade, maybe Montreal if we work with them, or we trade him for like a 6th like we did with guys like Webber and Rees.

KK + Ryan Suzuki + 2nd for Nick Suzuki

Montreal gets the player they always wanted, KK, they can claim forever they won the trade for getting him back, and they get so save money on merchandise by being able to reuse all those Suzuki jerseys they have in stock

Enjoy the moment and the payday!

Thanks for sharing! He also made a video on Rantanen this week.

Man I know the NHL has a tough time marketing itself, but looking at the merch available for the 4 Nations, it's BAD. Each country only has 2-4 players whose jersey you can buy. For the Canes that means you can only buy a Aho jersey, Jarvis, Slavin, and Rantanen are nowhere to be found.

And I thought maybe there would be something available at The Eye for the specific teams. Only Aho and Jarvis t-shirts.

Not a huge loss, as far as Finland goes. As in the 2016 World Cup, the Team Finland jersey looks like something out of a Mighty Ducks movie.
