The Fantastically Beautiful Joyously Superfun 22-23 Season Celebration Thread

What would that recovery time make it? A shoulder separation most likely? I think a torn rotator cuff would be substantially longer.
 
Also, I don't really care about him anymore. He looked pretty useless outside that first game against Dallas, and was frustrating me that with his speed he wasn't really creating anything out there. At first I was annoyed that Keefe was sitting him, but after he got that bit of a stretch, I honestly saw next to nothing out of him. I'm not against him getting a full uninterrupted season to show what he can do without the yoyoing, but I don't know that he's durable enough for it even if they wanted to play him 82 straight.
 
He has elite skill at the hardest thing to do in hockey, just turned 21 in September, and is already too good for the AHL. Durability is a question, but it's the only legitimate question imo.
 
Man, the fucking Bruins. 10+ years out from their Cup win with a bunch of the same core guys and they still just keep trucking along at the top of the standings year after year.

They even unexpectedly lose Rask to early retirement and immediately transition to Ullmark. Who has a 15-1 record & .939 SV% through 18 games for them this year.
Our goaltending worked out fine this year, but I wanted Ullmark. That year he had in Buffalo with THAT team. Wow.
 
Bottom 6 today:

Kerfoot - Kampf - Engvall
ZAR - Holmberg - Anderson

It's interesting that we seem to have a legit defensive/rugged bottom 6 now, but importantly not a stupid Burkian bottom 6 of goons and stiffs, but actually good skating, very good defensive, physically ripped guys who don't go out of their way to be physical but absolutely can't be pushed around. Engvall obviously is huge and ripped, Kampf/Zar/Holmberg/Anderson are all in the 6'0-6'2 200-210lbs range.

Kerf would be the only little guy there, while Joey would be the only one with questionable D (though he may well be good defensively).

Still feels like a disjointed bottom six.

The Kerf of this season is useless in that spot and useless overall. ZAR kinda sucks. I’m very meh about Anderson for now. And never loved Kampf as 3C - needs to drop down. If we got a ROR as 3C and a Tarasenko for the top six, switch out Kerf maybe, it all gels together.
