If he got that assist, it would have meant that the goal would have been your boy Rants. Do you not want Rants to score goals or are you waiting for when we get Kakko?

Our third line hasn't quite been the same with the loss of LOC. What once was our strength has looked pretty pedestrian the last few weeks. Really hoping Bednar finds the right combo before playoffs start.

Big one today. Two losses in a row feels like 10 the way teams are winning in the West.

Out. That said - if this team ( or any team) wants to get far in the playoffs they’ll have to find a way without some key players. With Nuke out this is a good test. NYR game was another good test And was very close. I’d bet if we played them 7 times with same individuals we would win 4. Imho.

Yeah that NYR game was encouraging considering we didn't have Nuke and the Avs usually don't do well without him. They control that game overall by quite a bit.

Georgiev's about to lose the starting job again after being handed a golden opportunity getting traded to the Avs. What a pouting loser. Still think you have to use the rest of the regular season to try and get him on track. He give us our best shot.
As for Annunen, amazing what one year of development can do for a goalie. He looks so much more fluid and bigger in net compared to last year. He actually moves very well for a big guy, he just looks relatively slow because his movements are more about precision and being compact. I really hope that he could be our goalie of the future. There was a reason management deemed him untouchable, I'm sure they're very happy with what hes's producing so far. He has all the physical and raw talent you would want in a goalie.

Calling one of your guys you suppose to cheer for a loser, makes you a loser. Or a bad fan at least. Just saying ...

So when Ryjo was on the team was I suppose to root for him as well? No I'm good. I meant what I said with Georgiev. He got his wish with the trade to the Avs. A golden opportunity any goalie in this league would want. Was great last year but has been giving us uninspiring play all year along with random odd tantrums. He doesn't have a veteran backup pressuring/challenging him for the starter job but just a big cheeked rookie. It is and should be his net. Once playoffs hit the pressures going to be on, this is the best team we've had since the 2022 run so the expectations are set. A couple weak games and he may not be on this team come next year.
As I said we need him to get on track to give us the best shot to win so I'm hoping he turns it around. But the clocks ticking...

To replace Foudy, I would assume?
Hopefully there’s no D call-up, which would be good news on Walker.

Or Colton, who could have a head injury
They already have Jones on the roster, so no need to call up a D-man

It's crazy that a team who's goalie is 37-15 on the year is so disliked generally. Man I'm tired of georgiev.

Even if they're a little dinged up, it's Columbus. Put Jones and Wagner in the lineup and rest Colton and Walker.

I'm glad Wagner got recalled. Prefer a natural C there even if he's a slight downgrade overall. If Trenin wasn't forced to play C I'm curious who Bednar would favour between him and Duhaime - obviously he likes Duhaime quite a bit
Trenin - Colton - Parise
Wood - Wagner - Duhaime
Or
Wood - Colton - Trenin
Parise - Wagner - Duhaime
Or
Trenin - Colton - Duhaime
Wood - Wagner - Parise
Then there's obvious Cogs and Kovalenko to consider.

I think he likes Duhaime to an extent. We've seen Duhaime play on the "2nd line" and still play under 10 minutes.
I wouldn't be upset if Parise sat all week to rest his knee.

To my chagrin I think Trenin is glued to the 4C position, I don't think they got him with any other intention - all of the other options are a downgrade. Unfortunately, I do think we are leaving something on the table with him stuck there.. glad he broke through last game. I really think he's going to have a couple of big moments in the POs
