[Crosside]

I created a thread to talk about the team for every day of practice.

Smith: Stützle is doubtful for tomorrow with minor nagging injury

Brady Tkachuk and Colin White

[Crosside]

Brown: Like playing three in a row against the same team, a good chance to build a rivalry

 

[Answer]

Wait, Stutzle is going to miss another game?

 

[Crosside]

Smith: Stützle looked good in practice today, needs clearance from trainers to play in Winnipeg

 

[Crosside]

Zaitsev: Getting more opportunity offensively this season

 

[Crosside]

Gudbranson: Taking time and space away from opposing power play has been key to PK success

 

[Crosside]

Stützle: Frustrated by injury keeping him out that occurred at World Juniors

 

[OmniSens]

Sit Stutzle one more game, don't rush him if we don't have to..

 

[DrEasy]

Sit Stutzle one more game, don't rush him if we don't have to..

Gives Galchenyuk another chance too.

Smith: Colin White deserves a legit chance, and will get it playing with Dadonov and Paul

Sounds like White and Wolanin will be in lineup for the next while. Cool!

Interesting mendes asking DJ about analytics, Dj says you look at it after a period and after a game, and talked about lines having strong numbers then parlays that discussion into praising Wolanin.

I'm not sure White is getting a legitimate chance when Dadonov is also struggling to create any kind of offence. Paul is playing well, but I would rather see Batherson with them than Dadonov, they should consider putting him with Tkachuk & Norris since they are both playing better. This lineup needs another playmaker on the roster like L. Brown, there is really only Batherson right now, everyone else is either a mucker or shooter who needs to be set up.

Thank god. The handling of White was my biggest beef with the lineup decisions.

I don't care about Paquette. He's a 4th liner. When you're 1-4-1, it's not because of a 4th liner.

Wolanin looks to me like he has all the tools to be a top 4 player with one exception right now & that is he looks very nervous about making mistakes & being benched or scratched for it. He needs a confidence boost which can only come from working through the mistakes & building the confidence to make better & quicker decisions in real time. IMO of all the players on this roster I have more confidence that he can work through this & improve than most others who I think should never have been signed or should be moved asap.

It would be interesting to see Stutzle start the AHL season with the B-Sens to build up his confidence as well. If he could play down there the way he played in the German League it could go a long way to helping him adapt to the NA game, speed in decision making & reading plays at both ends. It might help his development to get away from this shit show for a while given T. Mann is so good at developing younger players.

Yeah I talked about that today

Wolanin has been really nervous, made some mistakes (like basically every other D-man) and before the season, he had only played 12 pro games in almost 2 years.

His advanced stats are still relatively quite good at ES (didn't check PP)

CF% : 2nd
GF% : 2nd
SF% : 5th
SCF% : 1st
HDCF% : 1st

They get outshot when he is on the ice, but they have much better quality scoring chances. Of course, all of this is still a very small sample size

C’mon white and wooly

 

[Crosside]

Smith: Negativity isn't going to help young guys

 

[Crosside]

Tkachuk: We gotta stay positive and stick together

 

[slamigo]

Paul/White/Dad sounds good. Just please leave them alone as a line for 5-6 games. Coaches are so impatient. Let guys get used to each other.
