That is terribly unprofessional on Green's part. No surprise that Macewen wasn't going to get more of a shot on Green's team. Horrific coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phat Fingers Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 On 10/12/2021 at 11:56 AM, aGENT said: Pearson and Horvat also have solid chemistry. And as loath as some might be too admit it, Pearson being a solid defensive presence likely also allows Horvat to worry a bit less about his own defensive coverage and create more offensively, as he knows he has reliable defensive coverage with Tanner. There's nothing wrong with having a player with some 'little things' on Horvat's line, streaky offense or otherwise. Adding one of Hoglander or Garland there should only make them more potent of a match up/counter punch line. Just want to throw out that Pearson is a proven quantity on a team with a significant roster turn over. Add a couple of injuries, having a solid but not super flashy line to stabilize the game with Horvat at center makes great sense. Pearson has a decent net presence and plays a reliable game. He is a streaky scorer, but doesn’t take stupid penalties or give up a ton of turn overs. Hoglander’s game is a whole other level beyond Pearson’s, but he is still inconsistent at times. I would think Podz will be a similar player. Injuries, chemistry and production will be forcing Green to adjust all season long. The forwards are not a source of concern, the defence is going to need more time to fully gel. I would expect the GA to drop around 20 games in, provided no significant injuries… knocking on wood… as the whole mix is new. Both Hughes and OEL will be expected to be better without the puck. Let’s hope both have been focusing on that… with a big shift of players, after a hard season like last year, I kinda hope for an early long road trip to get kinks worked out. Full on fire wagon hockey and Demko is our only hope, but, no there is another… Clarke is like a ‘Yoda’ for goalies.. we may need that… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 So Florida has their season opener tonight and OJ apparently isn’t in their lineup (yet) or even a healthy scratch. Appears to currently be listed as “injured.” Hmm… It’s interesting. The Panthers released an opening 23 man roster earlier that included Juolevi, but after Nutivaara (injured in practice IIRC) was moved to IR, they called up both Kiersted and Priskie (two AHL Dmen) And Kiersted is expected to play 3LD tonight, in place of Nutivaara. Unless Juolevi has actually been shifted to IR for some reason, they’d have 24 active roster players (by my count), which isn’t allowed. So I guess OJ isn’t currently on the active roster, despite what’s been released officially? Maybe it’s something with Covid protocols? And they’re just waiting on negative test results? Or Juolevi had some delays actually getting to Florida? Otherwise, you have to wonder why he’s gone from officially listed on the 23 man roster, to being replaced on the active roster by an AHL call-up: Just makes me wonder if there’s something else going on. Like maybe OJ picked up an injury. Or possibly the Panthers “found” one, and are setting things up for an conditioning loan, to stash him in the AHL for a little while? It’s probably nothing. Most likely just some delay, but it’s definitely curious, and nothing is getting reported on OJ’s current roster status. Anyway, this is what their roster looks like in the most recent pregame reports I’ve seen today: 23 Carter Verhaeghe // 16 Sasha Barkov // 13 Sam Reinhart 11 Jonathan Huberdeau // 9 Sam Bennett // 74 Owen Tippett 77 Frank Vatrano // 15 Anton Lundell // 70 Patric Hornqvist 94 Ryan Lomberg // 19 Joe Thornton // 10 Anthony Duclair 52 MacKenzie Weegar // 5 Aaron Ekblad 42 Gus Forsling // 7 Radko Gudas 8 Matt Kiersted // 62 Brandon Montour 72 Sergei Bobrovsky 30 Spencer Knight Scratched: Eetu Luostarinen, Chase Priskie, Mason Marchment Injured: Noel Acciari, Markus Nutivaara, Kevin Connauton, Olli Juolevi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby James Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Looks like Olli has now joined the Panthers team. https://www.nhl.com/panthers/news/notebook-duclair-moves-up-juolevi-joins-practice/c-326975956 Hope it works out for him. I like the new guy we got in Lammikko, but still wish we didn't make this trade yet and kept Olli. I know it may be a bust, but just feels like he hasn't gotten enough playing time for us to know yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quennville is a no nonsense coach. Im guessing we’ll find out pretty quickly if it was Olli that was the problem or our coaching staff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The one year it looks like Olli could make our bottom 6 and get some decent minutes he’s shipped out. This trade feels like it was probably 2-3 months too early. Should have given the kid a chance to really sink or swim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMJB seems to be very impatient these days, which I guess given all the losing he should be. I just think back to the days when we gave so many scrubs opportunities, now we’re just dumping our own drafted players left and right. This team could have afforded a wait and see approach with both Juolevi and Gadjovich you’re right. We’d be in the same position two months from now. I don’t think guys like Dowling, Petan, or Hunt are the difference between us winning or losing… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
