[tigervixxxen]

Back to practice Monday morning at 11am. ICYMI, Tyson Jost was called up from San Antonio Sunday evening. Will he be at practice, what will the lines be, will Landeskog get suspended? Stay tuned.

[Murzu]

Loss, Win, Win.

Jost average TOI ~13minutes.

Landy suspension two games.

Most points in the upcoming three games: Kerfoot.

It is known.

 

[Avalanche]

Zads first game against Winnipeg since nearly killing Scheifele

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Definitely interesting to see how Jost performs and what line is he on. If he does not start producing in the next 5-10 games he should be sent down.

 

[Ararana]

This is going to be a bit of a depressing week I'm thinking

 

[dahrougem2]

L vs Winnipeg
L vs New Jersey
W vs Dallas

 

[the_fan]

What the hell kind of illness Varly has that he hasn't played a game in a while? and is he gonna play in this up coming games at least?

 

[mackinnon29]

I'd say Landy gets 2 games
Jost plays between 13-14 mins
Think we can win 2 of the 3 games (NJ,DAL) but we could make a good push against Winnipeg there due for a bad one on a back to back and we haven't played sense Saturday

 

[Postanin CB Ting]

Really hope Z doesn't hurt his hand bashing a Jets players face.
Hope Miro plays vs the Jets too.

 

[Pokecheque]

Still kinda surprised Winnipeg isn't just absolutely scorching the entire Western Conference. I feel like Maurice is doing something to hold them back.

 

[Ararana]

Not too surprising

 

[Foppberg]

I'm thinking 1 game, maybe 2. But I think that'd be overkill.

 

[Balthazar]

More than 1 game suspension for that would be a disgrace.

 

[dahrougem2]

I can see him getting 3 games due to status

 

[Pokecheque]

Gah...if he gets more than 1 DOPS is an effin' joke.

 

[Ceremony]

Looking forward to playing Winnipeg again now Zadorov has a clone who can learn from him. Will we see the first NHL player to be sent over the glass from a hip check? Probably.

 

[dahrougem2]

I don't think he deserves more than 1, but DOPS does like to make an example out of repeat offenders.

If this was someone without a history, I bet all it would get is a fine.

Maurice certainly doesn't help, but that team is also over-rated by a lot of folks on hf because they're a new canadian team with lots of young talent and 3 big name RHDs.

I don't think they're overrated at all. They've got outstanding talent in all areas, and now they have the goaltending. And this is coming from someone who thinks Tyler Myers is wildly overrated and always has been. They should be far more dominant than they currently are, only St. Louis and Nashville should be giving them a run for their money.

 

[Freudian]

Jost Kerfoot Compher might be fun. Ghetto back on a line where he might get a point.

It's possible Wilson was at the practice but didn't do anything noticeable...

 

[UncleRisto]

E: Oh right, I forgot he's getting suspended.

 

[dahrougem2]

If those are the lines, I reckon they can switch Yak and Nieto. Coaches might not trust Yakupov enough in that role, but playing with Soderberg and Comeau would help in that regard. Otherwise, he's going to do a whole lot of nothing with Toninato and Bourque.

I think their age groups aren't lining up right. Enstrom & Little have already started to fall off hard and I don't think Buff & Wheeler are that far off from starting to regress either. Throw in an over-rated Myers, and some of their prospects taking longer than hoped, with the hipster appeal as the new small-market canadian team, and you have a prime recipe to get over-rated on HF. They have a lot of players & prospects I like, but too often people think about the players that their older guys were in their primes and the players that their kids should become when looking at that lineup.

I can't really argue any of that. Still, time is of the essence in that case and I think they could still use Little as a good complimentary piece, though I agree they shouldn't have coughed up that much $$$ and term for him.

 

[Freudian]

Bednar just trusts Nieto Söderberg Comeau. A coach has to have one of those lines.
