This is just not true. Sure, a player or coach isn’t going to blab to some random fan asking a bunch of questions, but having known front office people and a few players throughout the years, they absolutely do give insight into their team. There has to be trust involved, but it definitely happens.

8 years, $96M.

Depth? Yes…. Scoring depth? Not so sure. We’re going to need it because we can’t rely on the top line to do everything. Hopefully Perfetti isn’t out too long and the other line combos can build chemistry quickly.

Sounds like Perfetti’s injury might not be minor. That would be a big blow. Hopefully it’s not serious…. It didn’t look too bad.

This officiating is horrendous. Incredibly one sided.

Schenn inexplicably goes to pick up his stick, allowing the Flames to get the first goal. Net front wide open. Schenn and Fleury look horrible so far. Like beer league bad.

I don’t like it. Stanley has no business on the second pairing.

Here’s the line rushes at today’s morning skate: Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi Nyquist-Namestnikov-Perfetti Niederreiter-Barron-Iafallo Koepke-Ford-Pearson Gustafsson/Chibrikov-Lambert-Duehr Morrissey-DeMelo Stanley-Pionk Fleury-Schenn Heinola-Miller Hellebuyck Comrie

Interesting that the players would specifically name Hogan when referencing the game plan….. Often they just say, ‘coaches put together a good game plan for us’, or something similar. Not saying there’s something to be read between the lines, but it’s interesting….. Maybe it’s because he’s been taking so much heat lately and they want to stand up for him or maybe it’s what they were instructed to do…. Or it could be absolutely nothing.

I was out of the country and couldn’t watch the game. Any chance Jackson had a hand in the game plan/play calling? If this was already asked, my apologies…. Haven’t had a chance to read through everything.

I thought Barlow looked good. Was in the right places a lot last night.

Well, they played the perfect game last Saturday, so there’s really nothing to practice.

Don’t be ridiculous….. 17 DBs and 13 LBs.

Looks like this is the roster for tonight….. Forwards (13): Gustav Nyquist, Jonathan Toews, Mason Shaw, Parker Ford, Brayden Yager, Colby Barlow, Fabian Wagner, Jacob Julien, Tanner Pearson, Walker Duehr, Nikita Chibrikov, Cole Perfetti and Brad Lambert. Defence (8): Luke Schenn, Colin Miller, Ville Heinola, Dylan Samberg, Kale Clague, Elias Salomonsson, Ashton Sautner and Dylan Anhorn. Goalies (2): Eric Comrie and Domenic DiVincentiis

Tell that to Bettman.

Yup, I edited my post right after I hit submit.

I didn’t watch the presser, but I think you can still return a missed FG…. It would have to be short, I guess….

I like him…. He continues to look good. Stanley still stinks.

BOL with a brutal drop.

I think it’s safe to say, none of us will ever see another game like that.

Apples?

Wow….. this game is bananas.

Looks okay…. Thankfully.

Man, do we ever telegraph our blitzes.
