I think he would have played good enough that they would not be able to justify sending him down. And would have to keep him up as necessity.
Maybe that is what they wanted to avoid in not even giving a game.
You can rush prospects, but it's much harder to overcook them.

If you want a positive from tonight, Ullmark had a much better game.

Need the team to ban online access from all players. Don’t let them look at the standings and tell them we’re a lock for the 1st overall draft pick. You’ll see this team play absolutely elite.

Back in the basement. Last in the division.
That Vegas loss was a big gut blow.
Just one game but that was a huge missed opportunity.
Need Ullmark pinto zub and perron back.
Like of all the players to be missing. Why does it always end up being the most important? (Toi I guess)

Well we’re about to play a team that is missing their 1C (Thomas) and top-4 dman (Krug). Can’t imagine what the excuses will be if we lose that one.

What's the minimum TOI you need to win the Vezina?
Because 25 games seems enough
Least Amount Of Games Played By A Player To Win Vezina Trophy | StatMuse
Denis Herron has the fewest games by a Vezina Trophy winner in a season, with 25 games in 1980-81.

Electricity is really just organized lightning.
Not having zub hurts.... but this team has to figure out how to be responsible for the entirety of games in their own zone.
If they can't manage that, it doesn't matter how many goals they score or who they have in net. They won't be going anywhere.

Matthew Tkachuk doing everything he can to change the reputation of the Tkachuk’s are only good players in the offensive zone.
Brady Tkachuk trying to keep the reputation alive. Brady needs to find a way to play hockey with intensity without reacting to everything around him. He’s finding that very tough

Don't forget, Brady and Stu are bffs. Trade one and the other will likely demand out, too. Or at least be really sour on the organization.
What we need, is a reboot in our scouting. Both amateur and pro. Focus more on hockey IQ, skating, and willingness to work and improve. Slide size down the list of priorities a few notches.

Tell me you didn't watch the game without telling me you didn't watch the game.
Lack of D depth hurting us again. Wonder what our W-L record is with and without Zub?
Actually, it's lack of depth in general, having Pinto last night would have stabilized our play too. This team needs close to 100% health to have a chance to compete. But that's just not going to happen in general, and especially when it comes to the Sens.
Positives:
a) Chabot had a great game. He's playing with a lot of confidence right now.
b) Giroux with another great game.
c) there is no c).

My thoughts too
Every team has injuries I am getting really tired of the excuses. Its been 7 years, time to learn how to win or just do something different.
Personally I am very skeptical of the core, I think we’ve seen enough and they are what they are
I'd love to look for positives and blah blah but these last two games were piss offs. One they deserve to win, one they threatened to steal only to blow it. Tb fair though we had no business being in that Colorado game, I felt late on in the first that we were probably going to loose. We're playing better, sure, but nowhere near what's required to be a contender or even get into the playoffs at this point. It's frustrating to watch a team that just talks about the next step all the time but seemingly never takes it.
A chance to compete.
Unpack that. On the road against two teams with cup aspirations. Both games tied in the 3rd. And we're full value for being tied in the 3rd.
We haven't been in a position for years to go into opposing barns and give them all they can handle.
Colorado had a run-in the 2nd where they dominated and got a goal that should have been blown dead. Even TSN said it was a missed call. We had the lead or tied for 55 minutes against Vegas.
We're in better shape now then we've been in in years

Kinda true, the focus is 100% on the players which is good. But the lack of focus and willingness to commit to something you’re historically really bad at is embarrassing.
Ottawa players should be embraased by their game yesterday. They hung around only to have the pie slammed into their face in the last 5 minutes.
I don’t think we are as bad as people say. But we’ve played 8 games and didn’t show up for 2 of them (on the road) and that’s inexcusable.
We've played the last 4 cup winners. All have cup aspirations. Were 2-2. That's not average difficulty. That's hard.
This team needs to be not out of it after 20 games, then we'll see where the season goes
Which games didn't we show up for?

We are going to play bad, much worse than we have been.
Which is why not getting points in games where we play decent is a kick to the nuts as far as any kind of playoff race is concerned.
