Give it another week. We'll probably lose someone or a few.JR should just "accidentally" step on Sheary's foot hard during practice.....

Gage Quinney with another goal. He has now scored in 3 straight games (He has only played 3 games).
Edit: ZAR is back in the lineup.

Sometimes I hate when I'm right but right now I'm ok with it. Might be just what the doctor ordered.So prescient with Rowney and Rust injured tonight...
He's playing with great poise, skating really well and honestly he's looking better than Johnson who I thought would be our best offensive C. I know he has scored in every game so far but the best aspect of his game isn't even scoring, he's an even better playmaker. I'm thinking he makes the team next year or gets called up during the season.How does he look?

Hey, since you watch with some regularity, how has Sprong's play away from the puck, especially defensively looked. Everyone is thrilled about the scoring, but I think it's the play away from the puck that will dictate when he's first guy to be recalled in their eyes.

He's looked decent I'd say. I think there's still room for improvements but he doesn't look out of his element without the puck. I like that he always backchecks, gets in shooting lanes, but he does cheat from time to time. His high IQ allows him to do so. I don't know if he could get away with it at the NHL level but he is certainly making it work in WB. So overall I'd say he's more than fine. Could still improve though.
1. How much of that improvement can be realized in the minors?
2. I look at playing style and see a fit with Geno IF you've got a really responsible two way guy, preferably with some speed, on the left side (probably a pretty natural fit in terms of playing styles actually). Thoughts?
Our goalies each with 3 games played on the young season.
Jary, 1-2, with a 3.96 GAA, and a .883 save %
DeSmith, 3-0, with a 0.98 GAA, and a .965 save %
Fast. I’m excited for him.How has DiPauli been? I see he's passed his point total from last year already, which is good.
I'm curious if getting rid of Bales was a smart move or not, Buckley is the guy and they have another new guy there, but man...
Yeah, it's not about pedigree or the guy you wish was playing best, but who actually is, and if current trend continues here and in WBS, then you give DeSmith a shot, and let Jary find his game.Bengtsson has 5 points in 6 games and he's tied for 2nd in team scoring. That's nice to see.
Maybe it is but I think it's way too early to tell or, imo, get a hint about that. Niemi has a history, is acting as a backup for the first time in forever and gets the 2nd game in back to backs. As someone who thought he could be passable in the preseason, it's not exactly a surprise. Murray hasn't been at his best but in his 5 game win streak he's got a .924 sv% and 2.4 GAA while the team ****s around. Jarry has had a statistically rough start in 3 games but DeSmith has had a phenomenal start. Murray is the only one who's played more than 3 games and he's improved from his first start and the Chicago debacle that he shouldn't have played 50 minutes of.
Maybe you make an argument that if Niemi doesn't get a start then on merit DeSmith deserves to be the call up over Jarry.

Desmith may surprise some people. His stats every single year at all levels seem pretty dominant.
