    Any reason why huska isn’t letting some of these guys develop chemistry? The blender is not working and there is no reason to put guys like hunt with Lindholm.

  2. I want to see Hubby – Backlund – Coronato, I feel they cover each others weaknesses and can be given huge minutes and it gives Hubby a winger with speed and finish. Lindholm can play with mangiapane and Coleman, and Kadri can play grinder minutes.

    As a guess this seems more matchup related than anything else. Backlund line again McDavid if playing, Draisaitl if not. Lindholm line against Draisaitl or Nugent-Hopkins. Kadri against third line, Sharangovich against 4th.

    If we can do moderately well shutting down their top lines out bottom 6 should have a very favorable matchup.

    What does this sub want? All I hear is we need to change it up, that there is no trust in the team and we should bench half our starting roster since there is “no effort”.

    But when there is change we shouldn’t be changing because we want to build chemistry?

    ???

    Huberdeau-Kadri tandem, haven’t seen that yet!!!

    Might be the combo that saves our season!!!

    Huska trying to get us Celebrini, boys. Trust the process 🙏

    Mcdavid put in a full practice. If he plays I suspect it’ll be a massacre. He always fucks the flames, he goes like ultra Connor mode.

    lmao sure why the hell not? Not like it can get worse…

    Ruzicka will take Hunts spot.

    As for Huberdeau with Kadri… Let’s see it again. Huberdeau is actually on the left side this time, and they won’t have Lucic on the other wing.

    I am actually feeling really optimistic about this.

    The stand-in for Ruzicka thing bugs me. After seeing Mange play a whole season with a busted shoulder then getting a “precautionary MRI” that informs the organization that he needs surgery — should we really trust that the team is making safe decisions for the players?

    Like how much money did Monahan miss out as in free agency because the organization let him play through hernias, hip issues, wrist issues? All shit that needed invasive surgery. Ruzicka should be taking his time.

    Edit: Downvote away, but think of how much success a healthy Monahan would have brought. Not to mention never signing Kadri and having Florida’s (or our) first round pick.
