Season starts up on Thursday boys!
Looks like they're going to be icing:
Beauvillier-Barzal-Bailey (Killer Bs?)
Lee-Nelson-Eberle (the Free Agent Line)
Martin-Czikas-Clutterbuck (the one time best 4th line in hockey)
Filppula-Komarov-Fritz (the leftovers)
R. Johnson
Pelech-Pulock
Hickey-Leddy (they've been playing Leddy on the right lately...was hoping because Toews was staying up, but no such luck)
Sbisa-Boychuck (this will be ugly)
Mayfield
Lehner/Griess
Ladd to IR?
Toews, Ho Sang, Kovar, Bellows to Bridgeport
Kuhnackl waived

Couple of thoughts
Those top two lines are going to see a lot of ice time. We have basically two scoring lines and two checking lines.
Bizarre to think, 2 or 3 of the second line guys could all be gone next year. Hopefully Bellows, HoSang and Wahlstrom are ready soon.
Sbisa for 1.5m is a head scratcher. I thought Toews would start in the NHL, but I guess they figure regular minutes in the AHL vs a third pairing role is better for him, if the top 4 are set?
My man Boychuk definitely looks like he's slowed down. Sad, cause he gave us some great moments, and he's got a few years left on his contract.
The good news is with Toews, Aho, Dobson, etc. they have some prospect depth in the pipeline, and the F depth is pretty decent in the AHL too.
Gonna be a long, grinding year I think. Transition year, again, but thats what you get when Pajama Boy fucks you over.

He cleared waivers so he is still with the team.
I thought for sure Toews was going to make it, but he hasn't played a game since last December when he got hurt. I just hope they don't wait too long to call him back up.

Looking a lot like last year.
But at least we open the season with 2 points. Great play be Barzal to set up the winner.

Yeah, too many turnovers and shots on goal. But happy to get the 2 points and hope Trotz fixes the issues. Unlike other previous coaches we've had, he's at least calling those issues out.

It's nice to watch a well coached team for a change. Hope they can keep it up.

Regardless of our coaching staff, Hickey still gets meaningful minutes and I don't get it. He's fucking horrible and cost us another game tonight and brings nothing to the table.....time too call up one of the rooks and plant his ass squarely where it belongs, on the bench.

1 pt out of first. Who'da thunk it?
Coaching and management go a long way.

Are they playing above their talent level,and will comeback to earth, or is this really what they’re capable of?
i think they’ve been under coached for years, and figured BT would be a 10 point improvement, but this would be like a 25 point improve,ent.
