Are you saying some teams don't purposely tank?

Jesus, hasn't the team tried hard enough? They are sitting players out for 2 months with a sore foot or little twinge in a tummy muscle.

What can you do when your #1 25TOI Dman in Wideman gets injured?

The players don't. Management ices a team likely to stink is how they do it.

Can’t blame our team for winning? Have you looked at those lineups? That being said it seems like our guys found a bit of scoring touch since the beak. St.Louis effect?

Montembeault stoned them so far. Not hard to see why they want to get a good look at him. Later bloomer? Wouldn't that be something.

Some talking media heads noted there a few like that in the league now. They need to play a lot, both in the A and NHL, and there will be early stinkers. Sometimes teams give up to soon, and sometimes the waiver rules bite.

Softie devils need Anderson.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Softie devils need Anderson.

And Edmundson..

defensively inept team who’ll get bounced early from playoffs without size, grit & defensive IQ upgrade

Goalies are weird. Some bloom in their 30s. I like what I’m seeing from Montembault. Good reflexes, positioning, competitive spirit, needs to work on his rebound control.
