Lomberg was a huge loss. You don't have to be a scorer to make a big difference. Dude revs everybody up all of the time. The bench erupts when he scores. He keeps everyone hyped right up all of the time. He keeps everyone intense. What does our play lack? Consistent intensity. If only we had a guy like that... They call him Lomberghini.lol When your stars see that kind of intensity from a lesser player, it motivates. Every team needs one. He's very rare. Bonus for the flow.lol

But but but AHL prospects don't know what it takes. Only guys that won cups 10+ years ago understand. Smaller players = faster players. We're slow at the NHL level. But hey, our AHL team is awesome. Which cup do we actually want? I'm sure it was Dube that Sutter alluded to as "came up too soon". Well, he's one of your best play drivers. So maybe it's okay to get guys going a little earlier and stop relying on guys in their twilight years.

And when we get ahead he wants to practice defence. Craig MacTavish. Critical about everything but himself. Next up: "wanna count my cup rings". Probably. It gets old. I used to enjoy it, now he's just a miserable old codger. Call up your future and bench your cup winners from a different era. He complained about pace, now he's the problem with pace. Thanks for Z, go bale hay and take Lucic and Lewis with you. Evolve with the game ffs.

It’s probably time to call him up and see what he has. Why wait for an injury that isn’t happening? Goalie may be our strongest suit to trade from. Why wait and never find out? Wolf has zero left to prove in the A and we aren’t good enough as a team as it stands. Maybe Wolf’s ready to provide us with a significant hockey trade. Because we don’t have much else for bait to upgrade for a shoot first forward. Recall Chechelev from the E for some A reps. Or are we just going to continue to bottleneck all of our prospects?

As long as Lucic is 2LW I don’t really care what Sutter says. He loves 1 goal games he’s got them.

Vrana on waivers, damn. Maybe his issues are much larger?? No idea.

Totally with you. I had to shrug or I’d rant. Detroit’s youth have created a problem with returning bodies but also good there’s no reason to rush injury returns But all 3 have been better than Erne and Suter, so we’ll see. But now they know with certainty whereas we may never until push comes to shove. Which could bite us.

Noteworthy was Lalonde was upfront about Berggren that he won't be getting called up to sit or for short term. If he gets called up he'll get a long look. Then all of that stuff happened and Berggren recently moved up to 2nd line. 2nd unit PP, Lalonde wasn't lying and Berggren's looked pretty good.

Should be fully healthy real soon. Bertuzzi-Larkin-Raymond Vrana-Copp-Perron Fabbri-Rasmussen-Kubalik Berggren-Veleno-Sundqvist Erne-Suter-Zadina Soderblom That's a lot of bodies. Great, great depth. Tons of options regarding direction.

Gaudreau signed after his jr year, for the record. Coronato's a sophomore.

Alright then rd? We were getting worried eh wot? Hope all's well, Happy holidays.

Hanifin has airhead moments...I just don't know what to think of him. He's scattered. Take the good with the dumb/lazy?

My teams are close. Calgary: 18-20 Detroit: 16-19 I'm all for calling a loss a loss. Both, Calgary coming together, Detroit getting over insane injury woes, are ready to get ripping. LFG!

Dube is definitely the hardest worker. Some games it seems like he's the only one who gaf. Still waiting for my rr Dube to arrive. Bought a Sharks Meier one too. I feel like Yzerman will trade Bertuzzi and others and go after Meier in FA.

I'm ready to call him trade bait.

Seal it Dube!

Whytf start that with Lucic on the ice? FO Sutter.

I'm tired of being nervous every time Mangiapane's on the ice.

Dube solves the problem.

Uh-oh, too many icings.

Defending the lead...our specialty.

Duuuube, Satoshi Nakamoto my dude.

Happy New Year from Ontario! That was fun, I'm tipsy.lol Let's bring this ting in. 8-8 for December with a bullet!!

I've done the 1st several times (they also own Wonderland) and the 2nd once. So I'm done.lol
