Talbot isn't dressing tonight according to TSN.
I'd have the goalies split duties tonight.

You had no righties or lefties, just straigth non-curved blades!Kids these days.. back in my day you never mix rights with lefts!!

Yup, Koskinen will start and TMac said he may put in Montoya after some time.I'd have the goalies split duties tonight.
No it’s a terrible idea. The only way it could be a good idea is if we have some super secret power play setup that we are trying to hide for the regular season.Not a bad idea ONLY if McDavid coaches it on the left side, then has Drai, Klef, and Potentially Nuge as one time options. Basically the Jet's powerplay.
But having McDavid static on the right side with no one-time options is ret*rded,

Sounds like the coaches are trying to prove they are smarter than the rest of the league by trying to force something that everyone knows is stupid.
I feel like this coaching staff/management group always has to try and be smarter than everyone else.

Just a matter of time for PujuI think Puljujarvi will find himself on Draisaitl's line soon enough, so I think power play units reflecting that would work well.

Watch from where it is (1:51) to see the Jets PP. It is all right shots, but the difference being Wheeler, (who is coaching the PP) is right handed and playing the right side, so everyone else on the PP is a one time option. There is an option for a long cross-ice pass (Laine) or a quick pass to the middle (Schiefele) or a pass to the point (Byfuglien).
McDavid, unlike Wheeler, is playing his off-wing, limiting every single one-time option. If he plays on the left side, I could see the 5 lefties thing working.

Agreed. We need to be able to rely on our back up with all the travel at the start of the season.Koskinen in for the whole night tonight
he needs to show something in net

Like having Letestu as our extra attacker and PP go to guy for almost an entire failed season. Now the guy can’t get a job. We sure love our Toby Peterson’s.
I just can’t fathom a new coach would come in and use the exact same setup that failed horribly last season. Unless it’s really the head coach still making all the decisions.
About 10 minutes ago, Lowetide and Yaremchuk were saying Koskinen is getting the whole game now.
I'be be pretty choked if I was Montoya...he's been given next to zero opportunity to compete for the backup job say for one period against Vancouver.
Edit: Didn't see Cant'haveTkachev's post stating same thing about Koskinen getting the whole game now.

Montoya had last season to compete for the backup job, obviously he didn't impress much or they wouldn't have brought in Koskinen.
Koskinen has been garbage and we need to know now what he is capable of. We know what Montoya brings, he's not going to show us anything we haven't already seen. If it was up to me I'd play Koskinen every remaining pre season game. We NEED to know what we have with him.
Montoya was never in the plans. It was Talbot and Koskinen the moment he was brought in.
Sucks for Montoya and he can be upset if he wants but that's the business.
