It does feel very strange.
In some ways, it seems to me like there is less to discuss now than there's been at the same point in previous seasons. I'm simply out of practice when it comes to talking about a contender. My response to every question related to the team is "well, we'll find out when the playoffs start." I've got nothing to say about how Pettersson is playing or will play, no thoughts about where Lindholm should slot in. I'm just ... waiting.

This would be a nice time for Pettersson to bump the slump, eh?
Unironically bogging down the neutral zone will be their critical success factor in this series.
I feel very similarly. Like, Lindholm and Pettersson haven't played well since the deadline, but we've also basically locked up a playoff spot since then. So ultimately, I don't really care how they've played. I will judge them on the playoffs. So, if Lindholm comes in and has a great playoffs, I will be fine with the acquisition cost.
100% with you. I see no reason to discuss off-season targets, contracts, playoff predictions, or anything else. A big part of that is coming from the uniqueness of this team's ascension. Tear the team apart and rebuild was a viable strategy and now they are division champions with a strangely real shot at a Stanley Cup. There was no slow build just miserable failure.

Who among us hasn't masterfully navigated a golf cart whilst being completely shit housed drunk?
But to get arrested in a gated community I think you have to be acting a real fool and being a big time menace.

I want JT Miller to finally grow up and become the master of his emotions and not the other way around.
Did you write this 10 months ago and forget to post it?

Lindholm has actually been quietly picking it up..
He has 5 pts in his last 6 games. Although that does include his 2 games before his injury.

Totally worth it for the near heart attack experience!

Did Coach Rick ever put Lindholm in between JT and Brock? I'd love to have seen that tried. It's a Drance musing I can't let go of.

Are we doing a pre-game thread for Game 1? (I know we are, BUT WHERE IS IT)
I'm fiending for hockey discussion oh my lord, I'm so excited

I know they shouldn’t tinker with lines at this stage but I wouldve liked to see:
Hoglander-Miller-Boeser (offensive line)
Joshua-Petey-Garland (secondary offense + favourable matchups)
Suter-Lindholm-Lafferty (shutdown line)
Mikheyev-Blueger-Podkolzin (energy line)
I can’t believe they haven’t tried Petey between Dak and Garly. I don’t think Hoglander and Pettersson really play well together. Hoglander isn’t the greatest at handling the puck.

I feel like this narrative of Pettersson being emotionless (at least in terms of demeanor) is just based on expectations from him being a quiet swede rather than reality, personally.
He gets extremely pissy and sour when things aren't going well, and he also wears it on his face when he's doing well (at the very least, he's unable to hold in a smirk during those times).
Quinn Hughes for example is far more icy, unreadable, and even-keel than Pettersson.
Lacking in play intensity isn't really the same thing as emotionless.

I would argue that the ability to respond vs react makes one more human, but thats just me.
