Can’t they just do a test? I don’t understand these quarantines. Tests are not hard to come by at this point are they?

Say, by chance, he caught it on the plane..so he lands tonight, it will show up in tests 3 days or whatever from now. Just mind as well keep it to the 7 day quarantine like everyone else and be done with it. Yeah it is PROBABLY overkill but, whatever. Times are dumb.

With the way Mika plays, it would be THAT far fetched to watch him finish just under a ppg to finish the season. Somewhere around .85-.9ppg. His points come in bunches and the puck has been following him around. If his shots start going in, his confenside will grow and we’ll see those 2-3 goal games again.

Yeah, he has never really been a better player than he is right now, there can’t be any talk of him having “regressed” in that sense. He still fumbles on a few shots, but it’s probably a confidence issue or some hand/finger issue which always comes and goes for these players.

Scorers are streaky. AO once scored like 2 PPG in 40 games or whatever. Obviously he was a little off physically to start the year, maybe it was Covid related, but so much is about confidence. Being comfortable. Our PP was completely horrible to start the year and that impacted Ziba too.
 
If it is only 7 days quarantine, VK could be ready for the Sabres game on the 22nd. I guess that would depend on whether or not he can get a practice in, but that would be a solid team to break him in against. Probably wishful thinking though.

I think it is going to be more than one practice before Kratsov gets in the lineup

Panarin took a practice to play
Kakko and Chytil took a couple.
I'll venture a guess, Kravtsov will take at least 3. <insert heart rate joke here>

I'd say his first game will be in the series against Washington. Probably March 30th

That's overly optimistic but I hope you're right.

Lemieux Rooney Gauthier should be the 4th line anyway. Feel for DiGi hope it’s just a procedure error but I’d like to see those 3 together regularly

I take Lemieux and Goat 10 times out of 10 over PDG and Blackwell.

The difference between these players is pretty small. Gauthier probably has the most untapped potential. Otherwise I understand why you have Lemieux but to me he doesn’t do enough agitation to have a regular spot over PDG, for instance, who brings more speed and physical game.

All these guys probably should rotate almost on a game by game basis to avoid any type of complacency.
 
Dont know if anyone sent those Vally tweets from yesterday, but it sure seems like Kreider will be captain soon, with Lindgren getting his A

edit: theres a whole thread on this my bad

Well, it seems to me like this is more about the frustration over guys like Lemieux, Howden, Gauthier going nowhere fast. Maybe that's how it was always meant to be but I doubt it with the combined skillset of those 3, none more evident than Gauthier. The lackluster growth and performance over the last 3 years between our forward prospects that are nowhere close to what we expect or wanted them to be, we're going to hammer Quinn ever chance we get because it's time for a different solution to working with these 6 soon to be 7 kids.

We're not beholden to Quinn. The only decision making process is what will benefit our forward prospects at this point. Quinn has done well with Fox, Lindgren Miller but we shouldn't sacrifice the offensive growth of the kids that are going to make or break our future because Quinn has done a few things well.

Last night's win was great but boy, even with 4 goals, I wanted to see something from Kakko, Lafreniere, and Chytil or Lemieux, or Gauthier (and Howden). We're winning meaningless games except for moral victory and learning how to win but if Buch, Mika, Bread, Stromer, Kreids are the ones doing all the heavy lifting, it's not a moral victory at all.

I don't think the organization should be beholden to a fanbase that's acting like a bunch of irrational, spoiled brats, who want everything now, now, now.

I think your last paragraph is a perfect summary of what's wrong with this board.
 
Can we get a collective prayer going that the Canadians claim Jack Johnson after the news regarding Ben Chiarot?


EDIT: Damn, he cleared
