After the last game, yes, I'd rather have Lyon. All three goals Reimer gave up were atrocious.

2 were literally breakaways lol

2 were literally breakaways lol

I swear people can watch thousands of hours of hockey, and even play hockey at a high level, but still have no idea what the goalie is doing back there. A mystery hiding in plain sight.

Goalies do stuff?

 

[PelagicJoe]

So....
Walman-Mo
Ed-Petry
Maatta-Chiarot

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Is this the biggest game of the season?

 

[schuelma24]

Is this the biggest game of the season?

yes. Until the Washington game lol

 

[Henkka]

If Walman is in

Think they are gonna scratch Edvinsson, if Walman is in.

The regular Top6.

I hope not. I don't want the rookie to get any more of a guarantee than anybody else, but I thought he played well enough against Columbus that he's a better option than the bottom vets collectively. So I'd prefer to sit either Maatta or Petry if Walman is good to go.

 

[Hen Kolland]

Likely depends on what Yzerman is ultimately deciding to do with him. If Walman comes back, Edvinsson probably won't be qualified to stay on the emergency loan that he currently is. If they make it a full call up and he is staying in Detroit, you probably see Ed stay in the lineup.

For the sake of Edvinsson and fans and probably the playoff aspirations, I hope they make it a formal call up with intentions of him staying. I would even waive Holl to accomplish that.

Allegedly.

Real talk... how many goalies know what the hell they're doing back there?

I don’t even think you need to waive anyone. I think you can go over the 23 man roster limit you just need to be cap compliant

Please tell me larkin is good to go tonight please!!!

If Walman is in, I would consider taking Ghost out. What we need rn is the most solid ES defense we can ice. And Ghost is the weakest link. I'm willing to take the hit on the PP.

Walman's out tonight

 

[Game suspension]

If they come out with the same choke job of a first period they won't come back on the Isles.

 

[jaster]

I was a goalie once, and I can confirm that no more than all but one know what they are doing back there.

 

[Man Purse]

You have to think that Petry is the odd man out when Walman gets back in, right?

[odin1981]

I can't wait to get my Seider jersey when I can afford it. Young man is gonna be so fun to watch his career unfold.

Huge 4 point game tonight for the playoff race.

"Many of us remember that the great actor Roy Scheider played police chief Martin Brody in the movie Jaws, and his character was wondering if he'd ever be accepted by the inhabitants of Amityville as a true "islander". The great Patrick Roy - spelled like "Roy" of course - may have wondered at first whether he would ever be accepted as a New York Islander himself when he came in to coach mid-season, but they've done well enough over the last string of games to still be in the hunt. And even though they're hunting a playoff berth instead of a shark or the Sharks, they still have a chance tonight in Detroit to pull closer to the winged wheel of the Red Wings."

It's incredible to me that they have Daniella at their disposal and still use Keating and Natalie over him. A few years ago I think Keating got COVID and they even used that frat boy that covers either the Pistons or Tigers over her. That guy didn't know f*** all about hockey.

It's actually more incredible to me that Daniella has stuck it out for damn near a decade with them never moving her up. If you're good looking and actually know your shit as a female broadcaster you can pretty much write your own ticket.

OK. The 24-48hr bug I had is gone. I feel "right". I'm gonna re-watch the 2/27 Caps game to see what they were doing then vs. what they are doing lately. And because, fun.

OK, question:

The last couple of days I've been reading about some kind of bug ravaging through the Wings' locker room. Is that wishcasting on the part of fans or is that maybe part of the problem lately for realsies?
