We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

This is why I think Jensen plays with Sanderson rather than Chabot because Sanderson is so much better defensively & likely will play on the PK which Jensen also plays. Zub has played with Chabot before & should complicate Chabot by being a stay at home defenceman which Chabot needs.
He might be playing with Kleven on the 3rd pair to mentor him into the league with Sanderson-JBD being 2nd pair.
I think it is going to be another long season.
Also...how the f*** did Washington get into the playoffs last year. Holy cow
I suspect Hamonic will be demoted to 7th D at some point; it is unclear who will be brought in to be the 6th D.
I wonder if Gaudette will make the team as one of the 2 Fs we need. He has more NHL experience than our other options: Crookshank, Ostapchuk.
2 things I'm confident about.
1.jensen will never play on the third pairing
2.staios will bring in a third pairing vet righty to play with kleven and trade or waive jbd
I bet Hamonic & JBD share that spot 3rd RD spot, I imagine JBD will get more games given he was starting to play better last yr to end the season & he led the team in blocked shots which he needs to do to stay employed.
I imagine there will be some competition for that 4th line C spot. Given Gaudette also plays RW & it's a position of need in the org who could play either. They seem to like Halliday & he is a yr older than Ostapchuk who they also like, but it could come down to someone with a little more NHL experience like Gaudette or Jenik C who is also a tough guy like Katelic.
Oh, I don't know about that, especially when they have Hamonic RD with a contract for this yr & they have already said they are not buying anyone out. And given how highly Sanderson thinks of Hamonic as a mentor & how much he helped him, it's likely he will mentor Kleven & JBD. We'll see, but my guess is that the 3rd pairing Rd spot is shared between JBD & Hamonic.
Hamonic is a coach that will play if there are enough injuries. Let him be free.
Maybe. I don't think that's a good idea at all personally, but maybe. I'd like to see homonic riding the pine and mentoring kleven in practice etc while a different vet that can keep up plays the third pairing, but who know...
Jenik is 6'1" but only 185lbs. I am not sure if he is tough and can fight.
Then again Tie Domi was diminutive and a known fierce pugilist.
Hamonic’s legacy of mentoring Sandy and then Kleven will be appreacited in this town when it’s all said and done.
Hamonic should not be playing hockey at all next year.
Of course he will, he has a contract for next season & Staois has sadi they are not buying him out. He's only a yr removed from having a 21 pt season & only played 48 games last yr which probably means he played with injuries throughout most of last yr. He'll most likely share that 3rd pairing RD spot with JBD & mentor both Kleven & JBD as he did with Sanderson.
