Our first fight of the year will be between Ryan and PDG as Ryan attempts to fulfill Peters' directive.
Stempniak had a totally unrelated injury to his first which I heard today will keep him out for a long time. Unfortunate situation.
lol in Peters' media availability today he says PDG not likely to play tonight unless someone can't go. then the "don't want him up here not playing" line follows, I guess referring to games after tonight. so in summary, nothing is real.

I have a hard time believing that Stempniak's new injury is totally unrelated to the previous one if they're not being forthcoming about what either one actually is.
Sometime in the middle of January in Stempniak’s season debut he’s going to take a random puck to the face and be out for the year.
I agree that I'd rather see Zykov or Wallmark, but I can see the sense behind this. As long as McGinn-Ryan-Williams is working Peters isn't gonna break them up or take Ryan out of the lineup. So the spot likely to rotate into will be on the 4th line, and PDG is better suited for that than either of the 2 young guys. If they're gonna be called up I want them playing top 9 instead

While agree with that, why there is need for rotation now, when we are now playing decent?

This is Hurricanes Hockey
News: Aho scored, TT hat-trick, and 5-1 win
Notes: It was good

To further the point about getting to the net, I found this chart from The Athletic (about how good the Leafs are at getting to the net) pretty telling

That’s us there near the bottom. Interesting that a couple of good teams (STL, Winnipeg) are at the bottom and still winning though.

Maybe now? It's a phone screenshot so I tried putting it in an album to post it (anyone know a better way?)
Yep, works now. Thanks for updating it.

Blues and Jets have better snipers and in front of net support, I think. That`s the reason why they can still win even their shots are from far away.

Aho!
Call this guy up already. what are we waiting for?

Or Ben Bishop. TT just got two of his Hattie on very similar shots. TT's had more power but Zykov is a sniper himself. Looked like he floated it a bit on purpose.

I think there are times we get ahead of ourselves as it pertains to players having strong starts in the AHL. Not in the sense that they're not going to be able to maintain it, but in the sense that showing a real pulse entitles someone to come up right away. That's a sucker move from the Dalpe, Bowman, Boychuk days. For me, seeing the progression in the AHL needs to be something that is measured in half season intervals to prevent sample size from fouling up the metric. Unless someone is absolutely dusting the league like Jake Guentzel was last season, it's not going to impact them negatively to stay down there and continue to build confidence. Don't flip the burger too soon.

Yeah we're not really there yet, in terms of needing him to be called up either. I think it takes a few months to see what we really have before you should change it up. As long as we're competitive anyways. Stempniak being out for an extended time makes it that much harder to figure.
Let those guys in the AHL be overripe.
A wrist shot like that had no business going in. I highly doubt he was shooting to score. I like his game around the net though. He's got a really strong core, he could be very dangerous on the cycle if he clicks up here.

I mean Zykov has had a lot more NHL like goals than that highlight. Most of the ones
I've been seeing from him are top corner snipes and banging in rebounds in front of the net. He impressed me during his callup last season, I'm eager to see him get another callup.
Also anyone have word on Wallmark? He's been listed as injured I think the last 2 games.

Floaters, that aren't heavily screened, rarely go in on your average goal tender in the NHL. If that was the case Rask would be perennial 40 goal scorer.

I don't know, you can always flip it back over if it's not done. As long as you don't have to put it on burger waivers it should come out alright.

Beef is tender and has to be handled delicately. The last thing you want is for your patty to lose its seasoning and start falling apart on you.
