Hopefully someone puts two guys on waivers so we can claim them and get TFW back to Cleveland. Pretty clearly not an NHL guy
Meyer was even worse. Pittsburgh had a guy on waivers but for whatever reason we didnt claim.

Lame duck coach trying his hardest to win. Good luck to Boone and his back

Hoping Tarasov keeps stringing good games together. Nice job coming in. Realistically, waiting for him to go into a slide, as he has done since he has been here. Up and down, like a toilet seat. Would love to see him stay consistantly good.
I won't stand for this Carson Meyer slander.
He played ten minutes and had 70% in the possession stats, the Habs had only two shots with him out there. That's a good call-up.
He took a bad penalty and he clearly wasnt the one carrying the puck on that line. Olivier looked good though

I don’t care how many forwards were out. Playing Boone almost 26 minutes is f*cking stupid yet the kind of stuff I’ve come to expect from Vincent. This isn’t good for Boone or the team JD needs to call him in for a chat.
The team medical staff has access to info on that, and the "high performance" coach that tests the players regularly, I believe Nelson Ayotte. It might not be bad for Boone, it's hard to say without access to the information they have.

Because the media wants to make a story out of the 5 minutes he apparently got to play tonight. I didn't see the game but I'm glad I missed it.
These 2 quotes seem a bit counterproductive however. Did they really pull their heads out of their asses after a goalie change where they got shutout?

Con: the first 5 minutes of the game
Pro: the last 55 minutes of the game
And Tarasov. He played great in relief.

Just one more comment on Tarasov. After the Seattle game, which I consider his low water mark so far this year, he was sitting on an .875 save percentage. After last night, he has improved that to .903. Fantastic job on his part when as bad as things were for him after Seattle, and he could have just packed it in then, that he has kept his head in it and improved like he has. Still not sold on him as he has a ways to go, but good for him and I hope he keeps it up. Would be a nice bright spot in such a dismal season.
CBJ played well, and to end up the game 3-0 is bit harsh.
I would be happy if Elvis does not stay. He was not happy being pulled, but he was just not ready. I don't enjoy his me me me mentality while being only average most of the time. A duo Tarasov/Greaves would be much better imo.

I don't blame Elvis for those goals, and I tend to think he might be a better goalie than the younger guys. But ultimately I come to the same place as you, his self-oriented approach is a distraction, and I think the players might prefer to play for Tarasov and Greaves.

I'll comment on this but I have no context on what happened last night and I've seen zero highlights of the start of the game but here is what I hear.
1. Elvis was upset he got pulled and PV said it was a mercy pull and not his fault. If I hadn't played for several day and then only got 5 minutes before being puled and it truly wasn't my fault, I'd be pissed too.
2. Some people blame Elvis for the goals and PV and a few others on here don't blame Elvis for the goals. Is that anti Elvis bias? I don't know exactly what happened last night. If the lineup played like sh*t in front of 1 goalie and didn't wake their heads up until after the pull happened, I see that as a flaw of those players and not the goalies fault. IF the players truly don't like Elvis (which seems like a cop out excuse for poor play) there is zero excuse for not playing as a professional and being sh*tty in front of him out of spite as it seems to be implied wether it be subconscious or not.

How many times in league history have teams played better after a pull? It's not really remarkable by itself. I didn't mean to imply that the players played poorly because of Elvis, I don't think that's the case.
Brian Hedger assured me Elvis and Tarasov are becoming Swayman/Ullmark.
