Jbo and Butler will most likely make me pull out what little hair I have left.

Finally I do understand why I've get so much grey hair past 5-years. Blues hockey.

I remember a time when I used to care about Blues hockey games.

That time is not now.

I’m okay with management looking to the future and seeing what the kids have. Only need to get Kostin up here for 60 games now.

He has 9 points in 24 games in the AHL. Less points then Kyrou in 10 more games.

I still view guys like Mikkola, Walman and Husso or Binnington should get more call-ups for NHL. Need to trade away Steen, Jbo or Gunnar.

Why promote players who aren't playing good hockey to the NHL level? Neither Mikkola or Walman are having good seasons.

How is Husso and Mikkola pkaying?

By being the best defender in his own zone and preventing goals while on the ice.

He's been their best defensive player and it's not even close.

Do you see him being ready for NHL? Could he handle 3rd pair role and maybe even PK icetime? Compare we've guy like Jbo/Gunnar/Bortuzzo/Schmaltz playing that spot.

And what spesific areas Mikkola should improve?

It's possible, sure. But since there is such a drastic difference between the two leagues, I'd be very cautious about it.

I'd like to see him shoot a bit more. He's got a sneaky good shot, but has either been told to holster it or is too conservative to use it.

I don't believe it would hurt Mikkola's confidence to get some games up to NHL. get understaning what he needs to improve at NHL level and work it and be fully ready for NHL at 2019-2020 seaason.​

FYI we are testing out a new forum feature called Live Threads. New posts will continuously pop in like a constant feed so you can follow along without refreshing.

If you'd like to try it, join the usergroup here:
https://hfboards.mandatory.com/account/join-user-groups

It will only affect a few specific threads at this time like this GDT.

Let @SniperHF know if you run into any problems with it.

Just cancelled my NHL tv package.

Not paying 25 dollars a month to watch these losers anymore this year.

I'm sure they'll win 10 in a row or something now.

Haha...nah. That would take balls.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

I can’t tell if this live thread thing is working. Anyone able to confirm?

[Stupendous Yappi]

That worked.

Very cool add0n

I’m predicting Edmonton payback from that one game last year when the Blues dominated just before the tailspin started.
