Pre-Game Talk: The week we lost our captain - FLA / DAL / @ARZ

[henchman21]

He was good in the preseason and probably deserves it over some others.

The only Eagle I'd say deserves it on play more than Megna would be Tynan, but Tynan wasn't nearly as good in preseason and they'd be taking away the only dynamic player the Eagles have. Predictable, and understandable move... even if I wanted Tynan.

Does Megna have any strengths outside of being over 6'?

Skates well and plays with energy... when he's going to be asked for 8 minutes, that's about all you need. Size, skating, energy.

A Nichushkin-Kamenev-Megna line should be something.

I certainly didn't want it to happen this way but at least Kamenev gets a shot now. Lets see what he does with what might be his only opportunity.

I've heard he can crack nuts with hands

 

[henchman21]

A Nichushkin-Kamenev-Megna line should be something.

Big dumb oaf, lazy player with skill but no skating, and fast skating guy with some physicality... I don't see the difference between that and Landy, Rants, and MacK.

We're a line.

Well at least it's fun to google "meg gifs"

I have a bad feeling we’re gonna free fall to the basement. I really really hope I’m wrong

Am I a bad person for wishing we'd keep Graves on the 4th line and called up Timmins to step into the 3rd pair?

Had the same thought, but with Rosen.

Well Graves finished the practice on the 4th line so he will surely play there tomorrow and Megna was recalled to play on the 3rd D pairing..............

Wow, this is funny but not funny at the same time. Like it’s so not funny it’s funny.

Nah......this sucks.

 

[Avs9296]

Just listened to Bednars presser. Sounds like he wants to play Kadri on Nate's LW. He wants a player similar to Landeskog there who can take some defensive responsibilities for him.

So I'm guessing

Kadri-Mack-Donk
Bura-Jost-Compher
Nieto-Bellemare-Calvert
Nuke-Kam-Shmegma

 

[ASmileyFace]

Main board thread jinxs are real.... the depth is really going to have to stand out in the next few weeks to keep us in the tops of the league.

 

[Spender]

Good thing MacKinnon doesn't believe in jinxes, things could be worse. Seriously though, gonna be a real test the coming weeks, hopefully Gakko are back soon.

 

[CB Joe]

I was hoping Tynan would be the call up. He looked good from what I was able to see of the preseason. He's also the leading scorer on the Eagles and previously had 2 strong seasons in the AHL.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Imagine if we lost Lando and Rants last season. That would have been god awful

 

[The Kingslayer]

We're a line.

[Bill Peckerskull]

Would rather see Bura with Naz and Nate, and Donnie with Jost and JTC.

 

[Metallo]

Megna was awesome in preseason, fully deserving of the call-up.
