Too bad I had to miss the game tonight.
I think once Bonino comes back Jarnkrok should become a fulltime wing. That'll squeeze out Aberg probably, but we have too many underperforming wingers.
Forsberg - Johansen - Arvidsson
Fiala - Sissons - Smith
Hartnell - Bonino - Jarnkrok
Watson - Gaudreau - Salomaki/Aberg
5-1-2, 1.86, .940.
we can't ride pekka too much but man this is the best start to a season for him in a long time that i can remember.
good games by gaudreau, smith, jarnkrok, emelin... pretty much the guys i **** talk on a daily basis. ekholm was good as always. i would like to see someone else in aberg's spot on the wing.
was good to see girard in and not make any mistakes that cost us points. it's much more enjoyable to watch him play on the back end than a couple of pylons.
Agreed, unless you think it's going to be a slugfest.Aberg/Salomaki over McLeod over any day.
It was pretty bad all the way around.
I've said it in other threads, Saros is very young for a goalie, the kid needs to be playing every day, even if that means he is facing easier competition in the minors.
Could be wrong, never know about goalies, but I think his major issue right now is lack of playing time.
I would bring Lindback up, he at least has filled a back up roll successfully in the past, even if that means leaving Saros in the AHL or losing Lindback to waivers at some point.
Doesn't matter where but Saros needs to play. Sitting on the bench in Nashville obviously isn't doing much.Saros won about 90% of his AHL games. He needs to play in the NHL to develop. If he doesn't play once a week he isn't going to be sharp. Maybe he needs a week or two in Milwaukee to get his game together and then start a few NHL games. You can call up Lindback, nobody else in the NHL wanted him recently. I doubt that most NHL teams would sign Lindback, but you only need one to lose him.
Nobody's claiming Anders ****ing Lindback off waivers. Dudes ship has sailed. He was a mental patient as a starter.
