He just confirmed on TSN he's leaving tomorrow, kinda think he should have left today. but what can you do.

If hockey players were chess pieces than sure, but they aren't.

Let him have the day with his family to prepare and bring his mindset to a big and hopefully long run in Toronto. Its not an easy world right now...let these guys be human beings.

Foligno hasn’t even left Columbus yet.

Does it matter where he quarantines?

Clickety-click, I play like sh . . .

You know, speaking of that . . I do find myself wondering if the team sort of has to play Thornton in the playoffs or if he's served his purpose. and they can sit him without causing problems with the team chemistry.

I mean, he came here thinking he could win a cup, not to sit in the press box. I wonder if that causes a problem.

Thanks

i dont think it matters - leaving today or tomorrow, he would only be able to play his first game Tue 20th (vs Vancouver at home) anyways

Ah very good point, your right then why rush.

If they want to go deep into the playoffs, it will take a total group effort. Thorton will be right in the middle. Love the vets Dubass brought in.

I suspect they'll want to get him a practice or two before he laces them up in a game as well.

Also are the vancouver games going to even be played?

Andy Strickland

Word is Ryan Getzlaf has told Anaheim (a few days ago) he would consider a trade to #Vegasborn  ...close to home, which matters for family reasons. #Flytogether 
- bryant

Vegas needs him. they do not have the centres of a contender.

I wasnt all that upset about it, but he would have been prepared for this. I think the actual reason is what Max brought up with it not impacting the first game he can get into which would still be a week tomorrow.

It's actually a week today

You are correct now that I see it on the schedule. Not that its likley that game is played.

Its a good time for him to come just before playing Winnepeg

Sorry, when did mickey ever have a scoring touch?
- Fakepartofme

Don't you start Fake. You aren't safe behind your screen

That's because he adds just about as much to the team as an empty plastic bag
- TheMussel

Exciting day for trades, biggest news today, Jim Benning out of spite and revenge, trades Gaudette (and his covid ass) to the Hawks for infecting the entire franchise.

Don't you start Fake. You aren't safe behind your screen

Robertson with Engvall and Simmonds at the morning skate. Not sure what this means.
- Woderwick

Mikheyev looked pretty good with Matthews

Well that's a relief.

Imagine if Keefe said he felt he was a bottom 6 forward that doesn't really help the team and he has no idea why Dubas spent a first for him.
