    Hopefully they actually play Svech this time

    Putting Svech on 4th line with Abby and de la rose is setting him up for success...

    Still cant believe how much power play time Justin Abdelkader gets on this team. You'd think hed score a goal or two by accident

    Quinn Hughes is pretty good. Have a feeling we will be regretting passing on him for the next decade.

    Tough to say with Zadina though, he has the talent to get it going. Just for comparison

    Mantha first year in GR 62 games 15 goals 18 assists
    Zadina first year in GR 59 games 16 goals 19 assists

    Switched to world series for a second and came back and saw the 4th goal and was confused as fuck as to when the 3rd happened. Turns out we just suck and can give up 2 that fast

    We've given Svech 6:37 of ice time

    Abdelkader double that time including almost 4 minutes of PP time

    Hell of a loss tonight.

    And now DeKeyser is hurt. He is overpaid but he has been good next to Hronek this season. This is going to be a long season.

    I feel like Svech was eased in because he had limited time to prepare for the game. My hunch is he plays quite a bit more tonight. If he doesn’t, I would just fire Blash now, as Svech was easily one of our best players last night and deserves more ice time.

    I still thing this team is truly awful, but it could be improved upon a bit if they would send Hirose to GR. I think you need to bring up a guy like Smith who can provide energy and has some hands. He is what he is, but this team gets pushed around way too easily. I don’t even mean for Smith to be an enforcer, just a physical presence teams have to account for.

    I would like to see something like this going forward (not even going to list the first line)

    AA - Fil - Svech
    Smith - Nielsen - Erne
    Abby - Glendening - Helm

    Though I would also love to see us try to trade Helm soon while he’s still playing well. If we retained salary this year I think we could find a taker.

    If DeKesyer is out for an extended period of time I would roll the dice on the kids.

    Cholowski - Hronek
    Nemeth - Green

    whatever with that last pair

    Hronek leading the team in TOI. Svech had more than Abby (thank you hockey injury gods)

    Can't think of a slogan as good as lose for Hughes, but man Alexis Lafreniere would be a great fucking addition if we fully tank and can win the lottery.

    He has 35 points in 14 games so far in the Q.

    If we end up again in the 5 to 10 range, wonder if we look at Yaroslav Askarov. Goalie that high is a risk, but some places have him ranked as high as the #5 prospect in the entire draft. Does not appear to be anyone who jumps out on Defense yet, but a long way to go. Seems to be a pretty decent draft in terms of depth.

    Alexander Holtz has 4 goals as a 17 year old in the SHL. The record for a 17 year old is 10 by Markus Naslund.

    Also, Hirose and Svech looked good together in the third period of the Sens game, so I can get behind that line.

    Love every game blashill "we need more lines to score " and splits up first line. We dont score all game and then he puts them back together at end of games when its over

    Wish they'd give Svech actual game time. Either let him play in GR or play him here. The guy needs game time

    It’s really odd. I don’t think Steve intervenes with usages, but it may get to that point.

    Zadina has assists in back to back games. By all accounts he has looked very good, so these aren’t just flukey plays.
