The biggest difference tonight was they weren’t skating in mud. They had energy and jump the entire 60 minutes. We didn’t see that in weeks

I like cotter but he has miles wood disease. Simply unaware there are 4 other friendly skaters in the ice sometimes.

 

[Emperoreddy]

That sounds like 3 weeks… Hope I’m wrong

That's not honestly a lot of time since the February 4 nations two week break is not far away

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

I guess Poulter comes up to backup? He has slightly better stats than Daws in AHL

 

[Lou Bloom]

His game is definitely suited more for a 4th line checking role where he can just play a north/south game.

And, oh yeah, Noesen, just continues with fantastic net front play. Sick goal, provided the screen on the Nico goal, and another very dangerous tip in front.

 

[Lou Bloom]

If they keep the lines as they currently are:
Palat/Jack/Bastian
Bratt/Nico/Noesen
Timo/Dowling/Mercer

Then I could see a Palms reunion to play alongside Palat and Jack on the top line as a good fit. He'd also likely wouldn't cost much consider his age and wingers usually go for less at the deadline than other positions.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Allen can handle the entire load to the break. Its only 7 gms in 16 days with no back to backs

That article is based off the opinion of a doctor that posts on X. And even then he leaned towards it being a week to week injury vs months long injury.

Nice win but....damn....Jesper just can't buy a friggin' goal, huh?

 

[Patrik26]

If Mercer brought this every night he’d be a 60-point player and excel in the gritty areas. You can see why the team wants him to work out as a top sixer and that he has the potential.

The gritty areas are where he made his mark in 22-23. The potential is there.

Hopefully this is our 24-25 launching pad 2nd half game like the Sevo OT winner was in 22-23

Yeah, that must be the park, bordering Ashland, Hickory, and Gregory St. right next to Gregory Park Condominiums, which is what they turned #13 into.

We're on Comfort, right up at the wedgiest portion of the wedge. Funnily enough, and I didn't know this at the time, but my dad (who went to U of R), lived in a house just 2 blocks down from where we live currently. It was a sketchy enough and unofficial enough living arrangement that he never got a key and just climbed up and down the fire escape to get in and out.

Know that street and every other one from Highland park down. My wife lived on Whitmore St., Hickory St., Comfort St., and Gregory St.. I lived on Averill Ave, Whitmore St., and Diem St.
Whitmore St. is short one-way street that runs between Meigs St. and Mt. Vernon Ave. which starts at Cayuga St. and ends at Highland Park.
Diem St. should have been a 1-way, but it wasn't, between Caroline St. and Benton St.

My wife and I both lived on Whitmore St. but not at the same time.
We both attended #13 school but she moved to Hickory the same year I left to live on Whitmore.
We eventually found each other with her on Gregory and me on Whitmore at age 13.

All of these streets are in close proximity. Both families lived in apartments and moved around due to family size increases, rent hikes, and wage increases or decreases. My last move to Diem St. was due to my parents buying their first and only home in Rochester. I lived there through high school and the summers during college. My wife was on Gregory through high school and then she joined me at college and lived in Brighton in the summers as her mother remarried and they bought a house on Elmwood Ave. just past the 12 corners.

I'll accept 3 weeks. 9 games.

Yep I will gladly accept 3 weeks with how bad that looked. Hopefully Jake Allen can hold the fort like tonight for most games he starts, though he's bound to have a stinker or 2.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Was a really fun night tonight, but man that Markstrom injury was scary. Really hope it isn’t as serious as it looked.

That sequence of play where we had them pinned for 4-5 minutes was awesome. It’s a shame they didn’t capitalize on that because the crowd was buzzing during it, but they sure made it count the rest of the way. Timo and Mercer seem to have some chemistry there.

Also, a Justin Dowling primary assist? In this economy?

Well we are two weeks away from 4 nations. So if it is a weeks injury he may get extra time to recover. If he isn’t back before 4 nations he isn’t going to play in the tournament.
