-DLC- Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I meant for the actual first game. But I guess I didn't make that clear so you win....A TORONTO MAPLE LEAF FLAG. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JM_ Posted January 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2021 Loui will be on waivers, don't worry. No way they risk putting MacEwan on waivers and losing him, someone would pick Mac up for sure. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 I had Hawryluk higher in the depth chart than Eriksson. If Green had put Eriksson in Group B, at least it would have motivated him to work and join the regular group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holtby is/has been a Vezina and stanley cup winning goalie. Demko has had a few really hot games in a row in the playoffs. Demko IS the guy for the future unless he bungles it badly, but there's still a proper way to go about things. And I think they're doing exactly what they need to do, which is split the load pretty evenly but with a slight bias towards Holtby for the first bit - or if one of them is faltering, the other takes the load. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I'm a bit surprised by a few things. Hoglander sticking makes sense based on the amount of hockey he's played lately - he's coming straight into camp hot while a lot of players look a bit stale. If he continues to work hard the spot looks like it's his to lose but in the past coaches usually go for the safer, stronger defenders than young risky offensive forwards. That being said, Bo and Pearson cover a lot of those defensive holes and Hoglander looks like one of our best skaters. Hamonic with Hughes is an interesting choice, I would have thought to put your best guys together but having Schmidt alongside Edler does make sense if we're expecting Eddy to still play top pairing minutes. That leaves Hughes-Hamonic as our 2nd pairing. I suppose Green is going to want Schmidt to play more offensively whereas putting him with Hughes might leave us a bit exposed. The beauty of Schmidt is that he can play a shut down role or jump up in the rush, so putting him with a slower, older Edler will mean he's the offensive guy on that line. A bottom pairing of Juolevi-Myers or Benn-Myers may be the best bottom pairing in the West. A bit surprised we haven't seen much Hawryluk yet, I thought he looks like a bit of a Motte-clone so would have been a great fit in our bottom 6 and may have out-competed someone like Roussel, but he might be aimed for our top 6 in Utica. As for goalies it really doesn't matter who starts - this season the guys in net are going to get as close to a 50% as we've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
