For sure, but just to show schedules at the beginning can be crappy for several teams.
Yea but I think it's a blessing in disguise for us since Donskoi and Kadri were a little banged up last game.

FWIW Graves did show some causes for concern during his stint last year; when he started to get exposed because he was gambling too much...though he seems to be doing a much better job of playing a safer game this season, without ceasing to contribute.
I'm cautiously optimistic at the moment, so here's to hoping he can keep it up.

Tribute video for Carl Soderberg’s return tomorrow night?
He won’t see it if course, but his teammates will tell him all about it.

A very winnable home game to sweep the home stretch and start the season 4-0, we all know how this is going to end.

I hope they ride with Grubauer. Would be very nice to start 4-0 on our opening home stand and Grubauer makes that more likely that Frankie.
We start a 6 game road trip in PIT, WSH, STL, LV, FLA and TB after the Yotes game. Might be a tough couple of weeks.

I'd start Grubby too. Going 4-0 would be so big for this team. They could go .500 on their toughest road trip of the season and still be 7-3. No time to let off the gas, steam roll Arizona please.

I agree but Frank will have to play in Fla or Tampa on the back to back. Might be good to get him a game before that
.A guy on the Francouz thread said he was starting against Arizona
Or, they could go 6-0 on the road trip and be 10-0 after, keeping the plan of a 98-0 season alive and fully operational.

Let Francouz start the Florida game, Grubauer just had another week off, he's fine for work load.

You can't play Grubi 70 games. I think ARZ is the perfect game to give Francouz his first start. At home and against a weaker offensive team is probably the right move for his FIRST start. Tampa and Florida can both score in bunches and i don't want to see him get pulled in his first "real" game.

Does anyone else Donskoi with Kadri? He seems to have a bit of tunnel vision and likes trying to dangle. I don’t really see him gelling with Kadri. I hope when Compher gets back, he gets put on Kadri’s wing. His shot and speed seem like a natural fit. Honestly, even Wilson seems like he would be a decent fit. Can cycle, and knows how to go to the net and get open.
Donskoi’s skating and puck carrying could really help Jost out.

I agree and he will have to play one of those games so might be best to get him a start and as you've alluded to Arizona is the best time.

Yeah I hope they ride Grubbi too. Let him fill up that starters confidence to the brim so it's spilling over.

I'd say if the Ginger is ready to go, sit Wilson again. He didn't do much last game (good or bad) and pretty much everyone else has been solid apart from Jost

You must have missed today's presser. Bednar must have spent a whole minute talking about how impressed he was with Barbs. He isn't going anywhere.
