Yeah that made me happy. The part of me that wants Luongo to do well is bigger than the part that wants to see him fail.

Looks like the Los Angeles Kings are going to be...
...dethroned.

The Kings have started off kind of slow but are playing much better now. Quick just got a shutout too.
Apparently someone does or Everberg wouldn't be back with LEM.
What are the odds Duclair stays after the 9 games?
Hard to say. AV says he's out in part because he doesn't think he can fit him into the top 9 against the Sharks' forwards (which might just be a "I don't want John fucking Scott knocking out my 19 year old kid" sort of thing) and because of the sheer number of games we've played in a short stretch (5 games in 8 nights, way more than anything Duclair has experienced before). I'm assuming Duclair will be back in for the next 4 games, especially since the schedule will spread out a little bit more over the next two weeks, and then a decision will be made.
I think he's shown so far that he can belong here. He's had great chemistry with St. Louis and Nash, he's one of the few + players the Rangers have in the lineup, and he's got 3 points in 5 games, which is 5th on the team behind only Nash, St. Louis, Stempniak, and Kreider. But I think he's going to need to produce more once he's put back in the lineup to convince AV that he should stay all year.
If he can put some goals on the board in NJ and Montreal, I think he stays. If he doesn't, it'll be back to Quebec. Right now I'd say 50-50.
Scott may not even play tomorrow, one of our kids is up with the big team to fill that role. Honestly hope he stays up too, Scott and Brown are terrible.
Maybe. Though we're consistently one of the best fancy stats teams year after year.

Anaheim is one of the worse teams at those fancy stats. People have been calling for a Corsi collapse for a couple years. Sometimes you just gotta play.
I can't believe someone made this
his face too :lol

Fuck Pronger physics.
Oh boy look DW, John Scott sure is helping protect our players by concussing skilled forwards! Good thing you brought him in!
Grabovski was a serious threat man!
Though really, NYI have no enforcers do they? Why the fuck would you waste a roster spot on John Scott in that situation anyway.
I don't think Anaheim's fancystats are actually that bad, just lower than you'd expect for a team that has as much success as them. Last year it was just hovering at 50% I believe.
iirc it was actually legit bad when Carlyle got fired :lol
Because Mike Brown is injured and left the useless facepuncher roster spot empty. Thankfully Eriah Hayes is in there tonight, I'm really excited for that kid to get more NHL time.

I will never understand the love affair with Guenin. He is fucking bad. Redmond has yet to make a stupid play since he's been here, and he actually has an upside.
Ugh, Moen and Tinordi in against a fast team?

Yeah they we're just a bad team at that point. And I exaggerated a bit. I guess people expected Anaheim to regress to be an average borderline pkayoff team
Therrien coaching!

A coach always has to have at least one awful player they won't scratch.

I haven't been able to find much on Kozun's status, but I assume he's out indefinitely. That's what one site published an article saying, but I'd never heard of it before, so I didn't click it or trust it. Just hours before that, they'd published an article titled, "Who the Hell is Brandon Kozun?"
Yup. Any two of Brown/Scott/Burish are in the lineup most nights.
When the forwards get healthy they'll be pretty fucking awesome, I think.
Pavelski-Thornton-Hertl
Marleau-Couture-Nieto
Torres-Tierney-Wingels
Sheppard-Desjardins-McGinn
Defense still remains the biggest question but Vlasic/Burns/Braun/Mueller is a pretty rad top 4. Need a better #6 to play with Demers though, both Hannan and Irwin aren't good enough.

Yep. Preparing for another one.
Is he called up already? If not they couldn't do it if they wanted to, same deal with Everberg having to call up two goalies.
LOL dat salt.
you ain't much of a Leaf fan if you're not ready for that every night
Not even Buffalo is safe
I was thinking the same thing, definitely a cool segment. I wasn't aware all those guys came from the same town, that's crazy. All Canuck fans should check it out if it goes up online.
