Would be neat if he could play today.

Pack your friggin bags Louie.

Does this mean Raanta’s groin is f*cked? Is this move just for a “competent” backup aka bad news for Louis?

 

[Zippy316]

Good luck with him. He's a bit on the smaller side, but his athleticism and reflexes are ridiculous. A fun goalie to watch.

If anyone wants to check him out a bit, here was part of his brief stint in the NHL two years ago. This was in the middle of the NHL/MLBAM transition so the videos are ridiculously short.

Would imagine the plan is:

NHL - Raanta, Wedgewood
AHL - Hill, Miska

SR has hinted that Louie is on the outs. Langhamer has an option in his contract to go back to the Czech.

thank you!

Also - we already traded our 2018 5th to Philly in the Cousins deal. Bob must mean 2019.

 

[Matias Maccete]

Can't be a whole lot worse than what we have now. I wonder if he starts tonight.

Apparently we had Calgary's 5th?

 

[SniperHF]

Yay?

I mean hey I'm all for trying something different so no complaints there.

And he had some nice numbers in very limited NHL action. Maybe he can surprise like Montoya did after we traded him?

I'm assuming it's the Flames pick.

 

[Mosby]

Hill assigned to Tucson as per Mr. Morgan.

Wedgewood backs up Louie tonight.

 

[Zippy316]

thank you!

If you really want to check him out, look up that Penguins game. The short highlights don't show his performance that night, he had a terrific game.

 

[Mosby]

Ahh, pick is from the Flames. Conditional pick from re-signing Michael Stone.

Like stated above, Wedgewood is a little undersized, but athletic and pretty solid all around. The only worry is him getting exposed by the shoddy defense in front of him. Still he'll do his best make the other team earn it. Just go easy on him if he only gives up two or three in a loss compared to Domingue's four or five plus.

Ahahahahahahahhahahahahaha

 

[SniperHF]

Ahahahahahahahhahahahahaha

Is this a we laugh cause otherwise we'd cry situation ?

 

[awfulwaffle]

Can't complain. Needed a change in net. It SUCKS that Raanta has been injured. I worry what the length is though.

Have you watched the Coyotes at all this season? If that's your worry, this was a terrible decision.

Absolutely.

thanks man!

 

[KG]

I wish Wedgewood was the one starting.

I've watched and I'm reminded of things like the rangers game where the rags were on a two on two and both defenders chased the puck carrier into the corner leaving a man open in front for an easy goal.

This is fundamental hockey basics here and they can't keep from shooting themselves in the foot.

Or is it aggression to a fault?
