Never good to lose your 2nd leading goal scorer on defense though.
Oh wait, in this case you might be on to something...
That "effort" was Scott Darling 2017 offseason laziness bad

Smith doesn’t have effort issues, he has slow skating issues.
Noesen & Smith are positive so..... who is next?
It sure looks like it's going to run the gamut throughout the team. I saw a study today that suggests if you have been at least double vaxxd & then you get Omnicron Covid you will have "super immunity".
Maybe the team should have a chicken pox like Covid party (maybe only older folks would get this) so that we'll be good to go for the balance of the season.

Sure whatever. That was pathetic defense however you want to slice it.

Could be back for the Florida game after the break. Actually so could everyone else sans Smith and Noesen

Every guy on our team gets dangled. Even Slavin and Pesce. Smith is an insurance 7th defenseman everyone knows has slow feet - thats why he was cheap. It's what happens when we become a cap team and need cheap help for defensive depth.

For a guy who's not a good skater that was a very poor decision. He put himself in a position where if he f***ed up then he couldn't recover.
But yeah, there's a reason he sits when the 'Canes are fully healthy.

In 3 days I believe. So they have plenty of time to get up to speed before the FL game. We should have a full lineup going forward if what Rod said about no one having any symptoms is true.

Exactly this. I like Keane, Lajoie, and Sellgren as much as anyone but having Smith in the box in Raleigh means more ice time for them in Chicago. And regardless of what he's proven so far this season, if we had gone into the year with Chatfield as our #7 this fanbase would have shit a literal chicken.

Pretty sure I know that, where have I ever argued otherwise? Even defensemen with the defensive highlights like those two can and will have several gaffes over the course of a season for sure.
I don't disagree.
I am just glad his slow skating (or whatever you want to call it) happened in a blowout win during the regular season, hopefully in a tight game in a game that matters he'll try to play it differently.
Also my original comment was mostly a joke. When people posted about waiving and replacing him for Chatfield, I advocated for keeping Smith if not both. I like guy, he seems to be a great teammate.

I don't disagree at all. Of course everyone gets walked. I just think it's OK to call out Brendan Smith who gets walked more than anybody on the team it seems like. It seems like Chatfield may be a better 7D, but sample sizes and all. If we get fully healthy, and we make an upgrade for D, it'd be interesting to see who sat.

I agree actually. I’d rather see Chatfield too, I think he’s been a great pickup so far. Smith just is what he is, I was just defending his honor a little bit, it’s just not an effort issue. He’s not long for the league. I could see Rod preferring Smith over Chatfield due to experience and that toughness Rod loves. I’d play Chatfield.

Every time I see Smith play, I think "OK if he looks like this on a one year, $0.8M deal, imagine how Rangers fans felt on his 4 year, $4.35M deal?"

Heard from a source close to a few players that Svech has tested negative twice. Hopefully he's good to go.

If there was no break would it matter? I’m not totally sure but don’t they still have to do the 10 days? Feel like it should be 2 negatives or 10 days, whichever is first.

My understanding is that the current policy requires the 10 days regardless of negative tests. Which is ridiculous.
Navin R Slavin
Fifth line center
The NBA is looking at shortening their 10 day policy based on the data set they have, which is pretty massive. They track viral load and everything. Two consecutive days of negative tests should probably be sufficient at this point.
