Hofer confirmed starter. Hold on the tank for a bit. Kid could be the next Price.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Oof, just realized something.

NEIGHBORS IS BACK BAYBAY

With a bunch of non-playoff teams coming up, Hofer has a chance to get off to a really strong start, while also tanking our tank. I know some would be annoyed, but I hope he's a brick wall and becomes the next great goalie.

When the lottery ball chooses the 9th overall slot for the top pick in the draft, it will be Hofer who kept us in this slot and he will have already earned his statue out in front of Enterprise Center.

Back to back shutouts against Detroit will bump us to 10th.

Hofer again?

You better put your big boy pants on Husso, channel that inner Finnish serial murderer thing you've got going on and show Hofer you'll be the one getting the W tonight.

 

[Xerloris]

Ya, great way to start Hofers career by making him hated by fans for ruining our shot at Bedard.

 

[TK 421]

Ok new plan guys. We need to dig through his social media and find something objectionable that would get him pulled as tonight's starter pending a thorough internal investigation. Then we can report it to the team and they'll have to act or face a PR nightmare.

Or we could just have Binny and Greiss team up to lock Hofer in a closet. You know, whatever is easier.

ken hitchcock rules are back, you get a (combined) shutout and you get to start again

Sweet, we get to start 2 goalies.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Good news. Looks like Krug's newborn will be in the lineup. So that should help the tank.

 

[TruBlu]

Hoping Hofer continues to improve and show he's got what it takes to become the starter. That ELC is a great hedge against Binny's mammoth contract. Should have some cap space and be solid in net again soon. Excited to see what the team looks like next season.

Direct that anger at Binner for opening up the door for Hofer to shine.

Speaking of Hitch & Doors - Hitchcock, "You found out, don't open the Roman Polak door. Don't ever open that door."

 

[The Electrician]

I've been on the tank train since early December, but I can't stomach losing to the Wings.

LGB!

Really wish Binnington was starting. These are must lose games coming up.

It's a B2B. Binner should be starting tomorrow


Edit. I'm wrong. It's just two games against the DRW in 3 days. Binner should still start Thursday tho

 

[BlueDream]

Vrana gonna go off tonight.

I missed this.

Thread topic made me do it.

Krug's newborn is probably already taller than Krug.

Taller, Faster, Stronger, and definitely better defensively

If the team played in front of Greiss and Binny the way they have in front of Hofer then we'd be leading the west right now. In other words, he's playing fine but it's the teams commitment to defense that's really shining here.
