   Krebs has been freed

   This reads as if Tuch is center to Skinner and Thompson. Has he ever played center in his 425 NHL games? That’s a really strange line that reads like “I’m out of fucking ideas” from Granato unless it’s a typo.

   Excited to see Benson/Krebs/Peterka. That shit could be 🌶️!

   My question is with how Krebs was flying up the ice last night why wasn’t he moved between Thompson and Skinner sooner? Or any line in the top 9. Granato misused Krebs his entire tenure here, trying to make him into something he’s not. I hope he gives him more than one game, or period before he sticks him with those two anchors on the 4th line again

   Season over. Might as well see what Krebs can do with a couple other dawgs.

   UPL back in net… so that day-to-day was more formality probably, i bet every team had a team management meeting after the Burrow injury incident in the NFL, making sure they were thoroughly following all injury reporting procedures, which for hockey is “check the upper body or lower body injury box…”

   > [FWIW – Mittelstadt and Cozens were basically interchangeable from left wing to center](https://twitter.com/JoeYerdon/status/1758535813300637835)

   I’m glad they are finally experimenting with Krebs.

   Hoping Benson rubs off on Krebs because Peyton’s in my trade package this summer if not

   I hope it’s a prolonged look. He’s basically never had a full game with more offensive players.

    Yesssss! Free Krebs!

    This is still not ideal, but it’s heading in the right direction. Casey should be 1C with one of Tuch/Thompson/Skinner on the second line (I’d probably go with Skinner since Greenway is still being forced in our top-6).

    I really hope the team makes a trade or two. Give one of the guys in Rochester an extended look so they know what to work on in the off-season.

    Any shakeup behind the bench?

    What kind of a psychopath just puts the lines in random order with no respect for who’s centering them?
