I agree with the broadcast Ghost should get consideration for Norris, He will probably get dinged for not playing PK, but his even strength play has been stellar. Talk about team friendly deals with Coots and Ghost, wow.

What do you think they'll say when Sanheim finally comes back up? "He needed to learn how to play/get his confidence back".

Those using the narrative that Lindholm has always been NHL ready are missing the point of why they sent him down to the AHL.

it is Hexy's job to fill out the roster with NHL caliber talent. and he really has addressed the depth issues via the draft. we're just beginning to see the rewards of a patient, draft and develop approach with a little luck sprinkled in (jumping to 2nd overall in the draft).

Hak is mostly working with what he's got and maybe he's using the fourth line so much to save energy for our top guys. it does look like we're going to make some kind of playoff run this year. i don't know. but i am tired of seeing those guys get routinely put out on the ice in key situations this late in the season.

I don't get tired of coaching decisions and strategies that routinely result in wins.

i have a bad feeling that tonight's game will be the beginning of an epic collapse
- Mordecai

Mordecai in shambles

solid win. Man this team is on fire right now. 2 hurt goalies and 2 hurt top 6 forwards can't stop us.

Nj loses But we need Florida to come back and win vs wash here.

Feels like the eagles recipe hmmm

The fact that he continues to put that line out there with 5mins or less to hold a lead, AND benches ghost is puzzling to me...But he's done a lot of good things this year which seems promising to me.

I thought for sure after the shift Weise had with about 8 minutes left we would not see him again, then under 5 left there he was. Hak has to play all lines but man cant wait until Weise no longer is here.

Weise played one shift with under 5 left.

👍

Would love to see NAK get a look, but unless someone else gets hurt, I doubt it happens

What Weise wasn't playing on one leg, could of fooled me. Where's Tanya Harding when you need her

- VladDrag

Yeah he was ready, then became unready, and hopefully soon becomes ready again.

Love when the word confidence is thrown around too. Gets me wet. Don't you dare say luck though!

I didnt and dont disagree with what they have done with Lindbolm. He needed some small rink play, he needed some confidence. Add in the Flyers didnt think they would be in the position they are right now and sending him down made sense. As I wrote when they brought him up, great move and great timing, even if Simmonds had to get hurt

Caps lose holy poop!

Those will probably end up being 2 of the best deals in the entire league

There were several articles talking about lindblom hard transition to pro hockey and the state's. It wasn't until he roomed with vecchione and Brennan that he felt comfortable. The recall I would say is about a month or 2 late but he absolutely needed the ahl time he was lost off ice in America

that said, after this win, Hextall needs to add at the deadline, this team has proven they can play

And two last (frank) yous to Torts, just because and to Dubinsky because he’s a cheap shot banana eater!

Great job boys!!

Edit: I did not say banana eater!

I didn't see the edit until I quoted this. Hilarious

I don't anyone who blocks a young guy next year. I threw out Hartman name earlier and that's the acquisition I would look for.

They need to put one of those sensors on Weise's finger and make sure he has a pulse. I don't see any energy out there from him. So disappointing.
- MJL

He is full of spite bc he knows he’s top 6 material.

I don't disagree.. Its ashame that Weise and Lethera dress for this team, it so obvious they don't belong. Bring up NAK and bring in a depth forward and get this thing moving. While there at it, bring up Sanheim for pete sake and bench Manning

agreed but you will not have Flip and you can buy out Weise and Lethera. On the D there is plenty of options. You can pick someone up and trade them in the offseason of move Gudas, plus Manning is a free agent I believe.

Grabner to devils for 2nd and a prospect
