Crazy this guy just gets it at such a young age. We're really lucky.

Yeah it really felt like this was game he'd be in if he was going to start the season on the active roster.

 

[Cosmix]

Maybe Green himself has been cut?

Yup, a cut above!

After seeing all these preseason injuries in nothing games, I'm ok with an ounce of prevention here.

I suspect, as many others do, that Norris is not 100% ready to play. It seems like a replay from last season. I think he would have played one game by now if he were fully healthy.

I felt like he wouldn’t play in Sudbury, I thought 2 of the last 3.

2-3 games is often what the final roster plays.

Last year, Batherson, Tkachuk, Chabot, giroux, Tank, Chychrun, Sanderson, JBD and Joseph all played 2-3 games in preseason, so Norris getting into 2 would be pretty normal, though those games might be spread out more normally.

I’m ready to split up tkachuk stutzle giroux.

Don’t think stutzle fits with them. They need a more straight line predictable player like pinto or Norris.
Stutzle has been good with batherson before. I’d like to see that.

Tkachuk-Pinto-Giroux
Perron-Stutzle-Batherson
Cousins-Greig-Amadio
Gregor-Jenik/Ostapchuk/Gaudette-Macewen

That looks pretty solid imo considering Norris isn’t in there.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Right on track if Norris survives tonight

No hot takes here but 7 games in preseason followed by 82 reg season games is absolutely ridiculous.

The season is already too long. And then they add another 7 meaningless games on top of that??

5 preseason games.
76 regular season games.

Regulars only play 2 or 3 preseason games, the other ones are for guys competing for spots, nobody is playing 89 preseason/reg season games.

If they went to 5 preseason games, you're left to decide between do the regulars get enough games to find their legs, or do we evaluate fringe guys.

Which lot is the best to avoid traffic at the CTC?

 

[Altimus]

Might be a knee-jerk reaction but I would love to see Ottawa bring in Zenon Konopka as a coach/advisor/consultant. He was a beast both with his fists and at face-offs. Skills this team could really benefit from having in practice.
