Less “miles” on the tires this season? Scandella got into Sams coke stash and isn’t feeling well?

So Scandella sits tonight.

Good lord, what do they possibly see in Bogosian's play?

He hasnt hit anyone, he hasn't provided offense, he gets scored on a ton.

Help me understand

Opposing teams can’t scout him if he is in the press box. That’s my hope at least.

Maybe they're playing him a ton because that'll get him hurt and then they get the LTIR relief

I've been thinking about these trends for a week or so, and it finally came together for me on Sunday when McCabe was benched. I need more data to procure a Ralphian Theory, but it would appear that when a player has exactly 4 bad games in a row, it will takes approximately 9 games after for that specific player to see the bench. It's a working theory and I need more data. But it's happened with McCabe and Mittelstadt.. the outliers are Scandella and Miller.

I believe we only need 1 more bad game out of Bogosian to make sure he sees the bench in late December/early January.

I haven't heard a ton of noise about him. Other than he's doing well and what's expected of him.

When you have 47,000 defensemen, the guys in the AHL are just not gonna pop up here. TDL, hopefully, a guy or two is cleared out and he's ready to roll up here. Gotta remember with the cap, there's actually $0 available for non-injury callups. When Sobotka comes back, like it or not, Asplund's gotta go.

Well he's good, and guys like McCabe and Bogosian aren't.

Maybe some year the #1 priority will be winning NHL hockey games and not just letting bad contracts stick around

I've said this before I think, Botterill loves Girgensons, Larrson, Bogo, Okposo and Sobotka for some stupid reason.

I find it odd he was listed 4-6 weeks for about 2-3 weeks and then had surgery.

I think they both understand he's not coming back

You can't hate Lockport. I think you can ask for more offense, but the line is defensively strong.

The love for (frank)ing Vlad and Bogo is beyond me.

No but they should've paid a team to take one of them.

Especially if it means that Asplund or Pilut etc can't become regulars because of cap ramifications

Bogosian moved 3 guys out from in front of the net the other night

.....He had to, because he turned the puck over twice which led to the Canucks sustained pressure

Pilut is good with the puck
