Goalie prospects Sebastian Cossa and recently-signed Michal Postava out with injuries.

Maybe E.L. is right, Lane Lambert departing may have hurt this team more than anyone expected.

They're definitely not playing well defensively but they're also not getting anywhere near as good goaltending as they did last season either.

Side note, I didn't know players "tipped" the trainers at the end of the year. They certainly deserve it, and it appears Rob Blake got real pissed when Kaliyev didn't pay up and basically told his agent that he was going to hold him in limbo and wouldn't let him play until he did.

I read somewhere, probably Portzline, that Waddell specifically does not like injury-prone players. I’d never heard of a GM who explicitly moves that way.

Anyways, Chinakhov is a high end talent who can’t stay healthy, so I think the feeling mutual with wanting him out.


I mean...it's ...

With Leo Carlsson and Macklin Celebrini currently tearing up the league (Connor Bedard too), some people are noting that Adam Fantilli is off to a slow start.

OF COURSE he’s in the Ottawa Senators system when this shit comes out. :lol:

This is wild and I can’t believe it isn’t more widespread. The 32 Thoughts pod ...

Should be noted that Gavin Brindley, who was a prospect/tweener player they got in the Miles Wood/Charlie Coyle trade with Columbus, had himself a GAME. Bednar liked him so much tonight, he demoted Necas to the third line and put Brindley to the top unit with MacKinnon and Lehkonen. Also saw a ...

Back to back in Canada, a 9-1 stomping of Connor McDavid and the Oilers, followed by an OT win against the Canucks.

Go figure, they go 0-for-5 on the power play in that rout (but score a SHG) last night but score two tonight on the man advantage in Vancouver.

Damn, this kid is absolutely killing it, I don't recall the last time an 18-year-old defenseman hit the ground running in the NHL like this.

Wonder what they do with Sherwood. If it were me I'd probably sell high.

I can't see Trotz handing someone else the ability to fire him. Maybe he'll do something more like get behind the bench again, but he'd also keep his GM job and maybe add another assistant GM, who would being ideas to Trotz to approve or reject.


I only remember it happening recently in sports ...

Oh, one other prediction if I haven't said it already--I don't think Nill hired Gulutzan to be a long-term solution. No, I think he's an interim guy in all but name only, he just didn't want to put the real hotshot candidate that was drawing buzz from other teams, Neil Graham, in charge too soon ...

If they shitcanned Monty THAT quickly, especially given how quickly he turned things around last season in St. Loo, that would be something.

Yeah I think based on what I'm reading, that Barry Trotz will step down from his GM position, take over the bench again, and David Poile's son will be the ...

True

Names revealed!

Already? I thought they'd wait until the season was further along. Obviously they're still going with the same jerseys but apparently the team names are in effect.

Ya know what? I'm good ...

Binner is such a goddamned asshole. Linesman went to him and said "We know you have it."

With the rising cap, it feels like everyone is a buyer.

Pens were, up until recently, the hottest team in hockey. A lot of that was due to Tristan Jarry, who is now out for some time after the 4-3 meltdown against the Leafs.

Nikita Zadorov went after Schaefer and heard about it both on and off the ice. I like his response here...
