Do we know if these teams can practice during the 4 nations? It’s crazy the player movement before this tourney is even happen yet. It’s very wise to get poop done before the TDL. Seems like TDL is now imo.

I was thinking see if Kreider for Lavoie could happen. I think Kreider is either really hurt or just heart not into here anymore. He still looks a step slow compared to everyone else

Both of his screens were huge in both powerplay goals

True my bad. I do think his back is a day to day grind to get right.

Where's the instigator?

Cuylle dropped his gloves first

It’s his back. I was watching him away from the puck tonight, he’s pretty much stationary and saves his energy for the right times. Almost like he knows he only has a certain amount of pain threshold per game and he saves it for the right spots.

They should LTIR him til the playoffs. They need to call up Othmann at some point imo. They could use one more winger to call up, or Berard.

I agree, he’s no good to us like this. And what will he be like come playoffs if they make it? Problem is, they probably have the mentality that he’s better than whatever replacement they have (Jbrod Vesey Berard).

Could be a great opportunity to get Edstrom into the middle 6 tho when he comes back.

if all that's true, at least IR him now and keep him out of the 4 nations.

get tage on that team, should have been there anyway but would give him a very extended rest period.

Kreider shouldn’t be playing in that. It’ll be a tough blow, but he has an NHL team to worry about

I don’t love this 4 nations idea

If it comes out his back is fine and this is just him now, we have bigger problems to worry about

That Cuylle hit live, ooo wow

Well that’s the thing we will never know. Even if his back is messing with him he will never admit that is the reason why the production isn’t there. You can tell though watching him he seems off

He missed 4 games I think either early Jan or late Dec for his back. He should sit again like someone mentioned and skip the 4 nations.

When they play BOS on Wednesday, they bettter send a message to the RAT

Chytil scored for the Canucks tonight. Good for him, hope he does well out there.

Lost in that trade or thought in as a “throw in” is Mancini who I think is going to develop into a good 2nd pair dman.

Kakko got one as well. Chytil is who he is tho. Injuries ruined his trajectory. Kakko will flourish in Seattle it seems.

I disagree. If Chytil stays healthy, he’ll be a 60-70 pt player, maybe even have a few seasons where he flirts with being a PPG.

I agree with you. But only if healthy. Complete unknown if that can happen. Miller over him all day.

Agreed but truthfully ---- seeing it live ---- I thought it was late...

Lafreniere goal
Kakko goal
Chytil goal

A hair late. Pietrangelo got caught watching his pass

He’s never staying healthy tho. This is who he is now with all the concussions. Kakko was injured a lot in ny also but nothing with long term effects

That’s why he was moved. If he never got hurt last year he’d still be the 2c he started out as and would’ve had the 77 points Tro had. Just don’t see him playing more than 60 games per season if that

Eh, clean hit. Don’t admire your pass. Good on Cuylle ready to drop em and good on Hague standing up for his teammate. Hague would be a great addition to this team, like the way he plays.

I don’t always agree with you, but agree with your views on toughness. I hate how we can’t clear the crease. We need more physical players. It pisses me off that we get pushed around.
