Are you ignoring UPL's .917 save percentage last year because you don't know about it or it will kill your narrative?

That was in 9 games. I think that is part of what makes this frustrating - he looked good at times last year. Then again, 37 and 71 were excellent during the last few weeks of last year.

His stats last year in Rochester weren't great, but that team was a train wreck defensively. Anyway... it's a big boy league. This is opportunity and I can't imagine it lasting long.

I haven't been around much lately. Have there been any rumors from those that know someone in the know?

I wouldn't pencil Johnson in anywhere except where his father works or Minnesota.

Ullmark never had a season below .902 in Roch (.902, .909, .922)

UPL never had one above .900 (.874, .888, .900, .898.)

- Hank Balling


.917 in 9 games last year... .906 in 4 games the year before (NHL)

Small sample sizes but he can put those #'s up.

What was his excuse for the Columbus game ?

He didn't need to try up 6-0

The last thing said from 89 was that Mitts could be on the move. Guy has 0 value to me though so can't see it happening

I have a feeling that if he gets moved in a Nylander-like trade where we get somebody else's Mitts. I've be fine with that.

Funny thing is that a lot of the trades thrown around put 2 RD on the bottom pair. Don't think these guys have ever played LD.

and want 4 LD in the Top 4

Is Schenn really on our radar? I can't imagine KA being in the market for a rental.

If I were another team I would absolutely take a shot at him. I am perfectly ok with winning not being the #1 priority this year, but there is still a line. The rest of the team is taking off - he got 25 games to show what he has.

The guy gives up 4 goals a game and we are still winning hockey games.

The fancy stays say with all of those variables included an average NHL goalie gives up 2 goals.

Does Anderson let in those two muffins Nyquist scored the other night ?

I do wonder if Granado's fast paced, high event hockey is designed to be attractive to a few UFA guys.
Maybe a decent D man and solid 200' F would think by adding their talents to the team...it is a Ferrari with a great driver that just needs a good pitt crew

Getting ready to head for downtown now. This is the night making up 6 points begins. No excuses with CA in net, and the home fans in the house.

No doubt Sid, Rust, and Guentzel remember their -4, -4, -4 from a month ago. Big, big night for the kid line.

we need to avoid the high risk low payoff plays. No freebies and I think we should be good.

20 where did that come from. It was Bear getting 5pts in the same amount of games Girgensons took. And he actually did it and has the same amount of points in 7gms less. And it was 14pts to talk again, and if you wouldn't keep bringing me up in your posts we probably wouldn't talk again cause I highly doubt Girgensons gets there.

So you think there's a chance to hit 20 points for girgs?

The bobblehead agrees , although it's pretty agreeable.

Talk to you in march 👋

Is scalping still legal? What are a pair of ice level tickets going for these days?
