[austropanther]

Here to channel the energy.

How much rope does Tippett have left. He can't finish. He can't play..He looks like he needs a map.

Looking more and more like a 20 game wonder.

Still better than Vatrano currently

 

[Mogo]

Will we continue to play like shit on the road

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

He's alliivveee

 

[Prominence Problem]

I'll be interested to see a report of injured players on the plane.

[Prominence Problem]

Maybe we can expect all players to board the plane?

YOU SURE CAN



Also Cotton is on waivers. Barkov could start tomorrow

 

[violaswallet]

Is OJ off IR?

 

[pb1300]

Jesus are we stacked. Hey Grand Admiral Zito, all of us peasants only ask for is a 3rd pairing LD. Please?

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Is OJ off IR?

He's been called up.

 

[Gentle Man]

Connauton will get claimed.

He's not better than Carlsson. But he is better than Kierstad

 

[Mogo]

Yeah. He’s a goner

[pantherbot]

Yeah. He’s a goner

I hope not, really like the grit he brings for certain games. Seems like the perfect 7th for playoffs.

It depends on Ludvig being healthy. Only then Connauton would be expendable, I agree with you that he is a great number 7.

Love it! Need to buy my little one his first jersey soon!

 

[pb1300]

I could care less about Connauton.

Unfortunately still injured according to @TheImpatientPanther , right?

 

[Gentle Man]

Anyone catch the Checkers game over the weekend? Wondering how Grandma Hips looked.

 

[ShootIt]

It's amazing Barkov could be back tomorrow.

I really thought he could of been out for the year after that hit

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Unfortunately still injured according to @TheImpatientPanther , right?

Unfortunately yes, has yet to play a game this year.
Really wondering what's up there?
Was assigned to Charlotte November 12th but still injured when lineups are posted.

 

[Ghoste]

I had quite a bit of hope that it wasn’t a severe injury because he wasn’t screaming or rolling around in pain. Glad he’s super close.

Posted some details in prospects thread but watched the game vs Leigh Valley and he was actually moving well once in motion, he was closing gaps through NZ and early into DZ.

But from a dead start, he's slow and sluggish, he was bent over a couple times at the end of his shifts. Only played 2 games to that point.

His offensive IQ is really aggressive with stretch passing from DZ.
He gets the puck on net and will walk blue line if path is blocked.
Primary assist on his shot from the point, finished in front by Bowlby.

He played some PK and was often in DZ for any faceoffs. You can see the talent but just one game.
Didn't catch the game yesterday but gave him 4 out of 5 stars the game I saw.

He roams a bit in the DZ, a little too much, not overly physical but does circle back to slot routinely to break up passes coming to slot.
