Can we bump that thread on the main board please? You know, the one saying Voracek is the biggest anchor contract in the league.

Just remember, it's about next season and really about 2019-2020.
Let's see, why has Hextall drafted a bushel full of goalies?
When will the young defensemen arrive, and the young forwards to fill out the 3rd and 4th lines?
This year is about seeing who gets to stay on the island.
It's frustrating, but let's face it, making the playoffs is what gets you excited in Edmonton, our standards are a bit higher.
Mason and Neuwirth are doing a fine job of convincing Hextall NOT to give them a long-term deal. VdV, PEB, Mac, Schultz, Streit, are place holders.
On the other hand, we're adding guys like Luby, fast tough muckers who'll fill out those bottom lines and kill key minutes when it counts.

So guys
Sounds like that Jeff Carter trade is paying dividends, huh.
Thank God. We've been waiting forever.

So, Raffl is expected to play tomorrow. Lyub can't sit. He just scored, and it's the culmination of a lot of good play (tonight was probably one of his more invisible games tbh). VandeVelde will not sit. Under any circumstances. Especially after scoring his first goal in 55 games. You can't find many players that consistent.
Konecny it is.

We showed great character to come back and win that game, despite playing like mugs for the vast majority of it. That's the big takeaway and the points are all the really matter ...
But how many times have our players fallen down this year? What is going on with our equipment?
How many turnovers have we coughed up? What is going on with our stickhandling?
How many routine stops have our goaltenders failed to save?
We are ****ting the bed when it comes to fundamental aspects of this sport and I don't understand it. We can blame AMac and VDV and PEB and our other less talented guys for their flaws, but some of these basic errors are squad-wide and brutal.

I'm just surprised VandeVelde had the wherewithal to put his stick down & drive the net. A basic concept in hockey but one he doesn't usually show understanding of.

He's been putting in extra time with the coaches after practice. Next week they're working on how to do a wrist shot. How exciting.

I think he hired Adam Oates in the off-season
Lyubimov really stood out that game. He's fast, he plays a good two way game, and he can make some skill plays.
Really happy we pulled that one off.
AMAC was atrocious and I let him know it. Probably won't have a voice tomorrow.
