My concern with Knight is he seems very erratic right now. I am not a goaltending expert, but in that first period he looked like he was fighting everything. He was great in his last start, so I really don't have any explanation. I just hope he can get it settled, because when he's on, he's excellent.
I think he needs a starter’s schedule to be consistent.

With long layoffs, the slow starts are to be expected especially for a young G

The first Chucky goal was insanity.
I have zero clue how no penalties or whistles were called lmao

ABo on the pp starting to look good. If he can solidify his defensive game,

Swag-Barky-Reino
ERod-Benny-Chuck
Luosty-Lundy-Samo
Greer-Nosek-JBo
Gadjo

Forsling-Ek
Mikkola-Kuli
Schmidt - ABo
Balinskis

It's up to Samo if he sticks around past the deadline. The rest of the forward group besides that one spot is solid af. The defensive depth worries me though. Unless they bring in Provorov or someone who can qb the pp at the deadline, you really have to play ABo. They might just ride this one out without any major additions at the deadline, just depth pieces .

Some of the takes around here lately… My gosh…

Buying out Knighter, trading for Ristolainen, releasing Adam and all.

Didn’t you all chilled this summer and pointed your fuuucking finger to the fuuuucking sky Tkachuk’s style every day, every minute ?!

Geez Louise, breathe through your noses and not your buttholes for fuuuck’s sake !

Seriously… Never too high, never too low ! GEEZ !!

Those terrible takes on Ristolainen… I’ve been fuuucking annoyed all those years hearing people complain about Gudbranson, now Ekblad, and for the last two weeks I keep reading people who wants to take a flyer on a guy who makes Eky and Gudy look like Erik Karlsson ? What’s the matter with you people ? Blind ? Insane ? Desperate ? Stupid ?

I knew those first few pages would get me angry, okay now back to reading, wish me luck I’m only at page 3 and already want to murder someone.

Isles suck and we are a great team right now, simple as that. The way we played the 2nd and 3rd period was so impressive, a champion discarding a non-PO team.

I don't know why some guys gave Samo so much flak over the first 9 games. He definitely needs some more work on his defense game, but he had 1-2 great scoring opportunities in every game and he finally capitalized - could have had 2 goals with the rocket he fired of the far post. OTOH I remember how much people were complaining about Reino two years ago when he shot every puck of the goalpost or the goalie. If Samo turns out half as good as Reino he is an amazing draft pickup.

Kudos to Spencer Knight, did not let the 3 goals in the first rattle him at all! Perfect performance over the rest of the game. I find that this game was another proof for what happened with Bob over the last 3 seasons and resulted in his overall numbers to not be so great. The team would just give up so many chances, but overall Bob was almost always good and the numbers did not show the complete picture.
