Effort will return.....soon. But not this soon.

[Summer Rose]

Effort is overrated.

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

Unfortunately I didn't get to see much of the last game (tuned in and we scored the 2 goals so that was nice!) so I am dying to watch some more Yotes! Gotta get this game in the W column.

1-3-1 seems really bad
1-2-2 doesn’t seem much better
2-2-1 is so much more appealing

 

[Jagged Ice]

Winnipeg's defense has allowed 26 goals in 7 games against soft(ish) teams.

Laine is gonna Laine. Try to stop Wheeler (booooooo) and the rest. Try and get through their less than spectacular D. GET THE ROAD W!

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Jamieh]

Sure wish the Jet's hadn't pooped the bed against the Pens?

 

[TheLegend]

Other than flipping the bottom two D pairings.... the same as the OP.

 

[TheLegend]

Capobianco is in tonight.

 

[PuckLife]

any word on which forward is sitting?

 

[_Del_]

Grabner and Schmaltz will both leave the game early.

5-0 win. Because the Coyotes only get better as they lose players to injury.

 

[PuckLife]

any word on which forward is sitting?

Never mind. I see Hayton is sitting. I don't agree with it, but nobody asked me.

 

[Imaravencawcaw]

An interesting strength of schedule note to brighten your day

 

[Grimes]

Wow that Jets defense is something else. Crazy how much it dropped off after one season.

 

[TheLegend]

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

A must win game already?

An interesting strength of schedule note to brighten your day

Those numbers are skewed this early in the season. If your team is good and you're 5-0 after five games with five other teams, then your opponents, even if good , have a maximum possible 80% win percentage. If you suck, you're inflating your opponents win %. Strength of schedule will mean something in a few weeks, not a handful of games.

Hayton and Raanta played too well, apparently.

 

[rt]

Is Hayton hurt, maybe?

 

[Name Nameless]

Hayton and Raanta played too well, apparently.

Kuemper over Raanta I get, Hayton scratched is a bit more baffling. I see some people have a theory about sheltering him from the big ugly Jets' game. But are they as big and ugly as they used to be? And if you think you need to do that, you don't think he is actually ready, do you.

Edit, as rt just posted about Hayton possibly being hurt. Ok, just bruised a bit possibly makes sense. Let's hope(?) it's that.

 

[Hogan20]

Hayton and Raanta played too well, apparently.

With both of them, it will be about load management to begin the season.
- Raanta hasn't played in a while because of injuries and he was hurt in preseason too so I'd let him ease back in with the way Keumper is playing.
- It's a long and physical season and for Hayton, it's going to take some time to adjust. He's 19 years old, there's no need to rush the future of our franchise. I'm sure RT and Chayka saw what he's done this season and realize that he's one of our brightest spots in a while.

 

[Hogan20]

On another note, can't wait to see what Fischer does tonight. HOPEFULLY he's motivated by seeing how well Hayton has played and knowing that he's his likely replacement at this time.

 

[XX]

Hayton was wonky after falling awkward early in the game. Never got settled.

 

[BUX7PHX]

Hayton and Raanta played too well, apparently.

Had to go back to practice. The one-handed assist doesn't win any favors. Have to start working on the no-handed assists for maximum amount of premium to the player.

In all honesty, probably not the route that I would have gone, but who do you sit? Fischer hasn't been as bad as everyone says. Crouse's game is very good. Garland is energy wrapped in a ball of non-stop motor.

I kind of like having the situation be what it is right now. Everyone thought that Hayton was going to be gift-wrapped a spot, so what does it tell you when he has to sit? Tells me that internally, players are pushing themselves to be in the 12 forward group. I see no issue with this.

 

[_Del_]

He's 19 years old, there's no need to rush the future of our franchise.

Well, the non-consequtive games played and frequent scratches technique worked really well for Strome, so I'm excited to see this play out.
