[zeke]

team's gonna sit back put their feet up for a few weeks now after this one.

 

[Slinger 48]

Boring game, not much to complain about.

Well, the last 8 or 10 minutes maybe. They kinda let up, I'm surprised the Flames didn't get a couple more.

Holmberg 11:30, 76.4%, +1.02 --- Tavares 13:12, 73.1%, +0.90 --- Nylander 12:42, 66.5%, +0.73
McMann 12:48, 70.8%, +0.42 --- Domi 12:06, 75.4%, +0.61 --- Robertson 12:24, 74.9%, +0.59
Lorentz 10:30, 64.3%, +0.13 --- Laughton 11:12, 40.7%, -0.08 --- Jarnkrok 11:54, 42.6%, -0.04

McCabe 16:48, 89.7%, +2.11 --- Tanev 14:30, 86.4%, +1.44
Rielly 19:00, 62.0%, +0.37 --- Carlo 15:48, 76.2%, +0.58
Benoit 14:36, 25.4%, -0.36 --- OEL 17:36, 48.9%, -0.04



​

So see how OEL is getting more ice than Carlo, because he switches up beside Mo for ozone draws, which is good.


BUT, this kinda means we have to stick with Benoit because the leftover shift has to go to a Benoit-Carlo pairing, which isn't good, but probably better than trying to get Myers or Carlo to flip over and play the left side with each other.

 

[Leafyblue]

There was a crazy amount of cross-checking after the whistle from Calgary and I only watched the recap.

 

[zeke]

Just want to reiterate how fucking cool it would be if we've actually finally ditched kampf out of the lineup for real.

For the first time in years we won't be conceding that an entire line will be useless offensively no matter what.

 

[GeneralT001]

Nice to get the W but Calgary was horribly bad in that game. Wonder if the Avs will be as accommodating?

 

[leafman101]

Only problem with ditching Kampf is Laughton is not a center.

Maybe try the 6’2, 22 year old righty dman on the marlins on a 50 point pace. Maybe he can be better than the worst dman in the league.?

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Imagine saying that an administration scheduled to run from January 2025 to January 2029 is in the 1st inning in March 2025 being a controversial statement.

When you find yourself in a hole, it's probably best to stop digging. Doubling down is MAGA.

FIRST INNING GANG, STAND UP!

That sounds a lot like developing our own players to me....
