  1. Laurent Brossoit needs to appear in 7 of the final 15 games to qualify for the Jennings trophy this year. If you were a coach, would you let him sneak into a game for a minute or so when Hellebuyck is playing just to get to that number? He is targeted to probably start no more than five games the rest of the year. 

  2. Have to wonder if this is Bowness’ last year behind the bench? 69 years old, had already retired after Dallas before we called him back, and with his wife’s health issue and now this, plus a ready made replacement with Arniel in play, he may decide that slowing down is the way to go now. 

  3. Ok, I’ll show myself out for that title. 

    Game time: 7:00 pm, TSN3

    The story: The up-and-down Jets try to climb back atop the Central standings against the muscular waterfowl of Disneyland as they were known in a past iteration. Scheifele possibly back after his turn upchucking the flu bug as it washes over the whole team, but Vilardi on the shelf for a while now with a bum spleen. Brossy gets the start apparently. Anyone who has better luck than I trying to post the projected starting line-up, please do so. A win tonight and a 3 way tie for Central #1 spot, with the Jets holding the tie-breaker.

    Guy played well last game. Not sure taking out a skill guy is a smart move honestly. 

    JMO, but with Vilardi out for a while, I would keep Perfetti in but move him to the second line to spark him hopefully. Run Ehlers-Scheifele-Connor as 1, Perfetti-Monahan-Toffoli 2, the usual 3rd line of Nino-Lowry-Appleton, and put Iafallo on with Barron and Namestnikov with Kupari or Gus as the back-up there. We will need more scoring, and Perfetti is better in that role than 4th line grinder/energy guy. Iafallo is more versatile (as is Namestnikov) and could provide a positive edge on the bottom 4. Just my random thoughts, and I am loathe to question a coach of Bones’ tenure and success. Nice to have these depth options though. 

  5. Three categories of hobbies for me. Activity-wise, enjoy golf and world travel. In terms of mental activities, enjoy crosswords and other word puzzles (Sudoku or Wordle/Quordle/Canukle/Puckle/Puckduko stuff, although it can get to be a bit much) to keep my brain sharp. Also enjoy jigsaw puzzles, especially the 3D ones (I have a city full of various buildings on display, and a 4 puzzle New York City skyline). As for community hobbies, I like organizing and sports-related stuff, so I help with community BINGO and work with the Bison sports programs in tournament scheduling and stats keeping. Have also organized various curling leagues and school volleyball tournaments.
