His mortal sin was having a poor bag skate, which I guess seals one's fate in Green's world. well, he hasn't played this year, was placed on ir on ~october 20th and was assigned to charlotte for a conditioning stint 3 days ago.

Maybe drawing questions from a hat for the forseeable future? How about 2 or 3 retired players who simply talk about the game and possible ways that the team can work their way out of this? Maybe some real life examples of their experiences while they played. The constant pressure that these players are under can't be good for their mental health. Surely the coaches and team mates put enough pressure on them already. Sitting in front of a media goof and answering the same question for the 6th time means nothing to anyone. If a player totally loses it does the 'goof' get a Nobel Prize for Literature???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, players and coaches are showing up and doing the interviews, so I would think it's been determined not to have enough of a negative impact that it's affecting the outcome of games. If media ask the same question twice, the interviewee should state that they only answer the question the first time it's asked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Juolevi would be more beneficial to have on the team at the moment than Lammikko since we're missing a left-shot defenceman on that third pairing. Juolevi hasn't played a regular season game yet, so he probably wouldn't have helped up to this point... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen him live and on TV and every single time he's out there, the line gets dominated. Even when we were doing well 5-on-5 before the road trip during the home stand, Lammikko's line gets dominated. He brings nothing offensively and brings nothing defensively. He doesn't check hard enough for a 4th line center who should be expected to shoulder some tough minutes. We traded Juolevi for him. This is an absolute joke and more reason why I hate Green's amateurish thought process. I have zero ill feel towards Dowling and Chiasson. It's not Dowling or Chiasson's fault that Green hands them ice time. Honestly Dowling is what he is. He carries out his role to the best of his abilities. Same for Chiasson. Lammikko on the other hand was acquired because Green basically booted him out of the team. The only reason Lammikko is playing is because JB and TG need to save their faces. They traded Juolevi, who is obviously still recovering from COVID symptoms for 2 AHLers. This is pathetic. Green f*cked up so many roster decisions since training camp, he put himself in this situation. Everyone could see from miles away that PK would be a problem. If Juolevi was not an option at 3LD, then that should have been addressed before the regular season. If Dowling and Chiasson are your best options on the 4th line, that was a chance to go get some size and physicality. What did we get? Lammikko. lol While I get what your saying, I'm done with OJ. Just a bad draft pick. He is fragile, plays fragile. Doubt he's in North America much longer to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always came back and contributed straight away, and was never slowed down other than the game he played with a ruptured testicle. He had bad luck, but he was far from fragile. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree overall on Lammikko it’s worth mentioning Juolevi is injured again and wouldn’t be giving us any benefit if he was on the team.

Exactly... they may both be AHL'ers just now, but at least the you ger ones have a chance of improving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
