No Cab... This team just does not impress me.... too many second and 3rd line players and really aside from Eichel... No first line players.... Average goaltending and a defnse that is average...

Oh, Okay. Guess guys like Hall, Stamkos, Forsberg, Getzlaf, Marchand, and Corey Perry aren't 1st line players. Since, you know, they were within 5 points of ROR. But that's cool. Also, Okposo was in that range too with 64 points.

But yeah, they aren't tarasenko and Ovechkin. Most teams don't have two of those. We have one player who is a budding star and pretty good support players around him. What is the criteria of 1st line player? Can we just pick one up in the offseason? Because I thought we tried that but there wasn't one there.

Here's what I would do once Okposo and O'Riley are back in a few games.

Ennis O'Riley Okposo
Kane Reinhart Bailey (Call up)
Foligno Grant Moulson
Girgensons Larsson Gionta

Fasching Deslauries

We're (frank)ed anyway. I'd like to see Nylander earn his role no matter what in Rochester. Call up Bailey and hope he can convert. If not, send him down and put in Fasching.

I don't think they'd keep Fasching up and then not play him and play Bailey instead

Fasching as far as now hasn't shown he can be a skilled guy. Only guys in Rochester who are skilled enough for top six are

Bailey, Nylander and maybe Baptiste. Nylander needs seasoning. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Call up Bailey and send down Fasching for all I care.

I see the over reaction people are at it..... How about we find out what the injury is first....

and they are still a good team....

Sounds to me like O'Reilly should be good to go tomorrow based on Bylsma's comments after practice today.

I'm not telling anyone anything. I'm not panicking because we don't actually have any real information yet.

Do I hate the fact that there's a possibility that he could be out for quite a while? Absolutely. But that doesn't automatically mean we're going to lose every game, which is how some people are reacting around here.

It's a poop sandwich. But pissing and moaning about it isn't going to turn it into a cheeseburger. It's still a poop sandwich.

Again, I'm not any good with this analytics, but if it's a poop sandwich and you piss and moan doesn't that turn it into more of a poop/piss casserole?

Seems like a long line to the bridge

I have to admit that I am curious to see Reinhart play center

Good god no! I'd actually rather them forfeit games than see them in that hot mess again.

I just thought we should see this thing through properly.

It's Ice T!

So I'm assuming Reinhart slides over to center
Or does Larsson move up?
He did play up when O'Reilly & Eichel were at the Worlds

Initial diagnosis on Jack Eichel immediately after incident was high ankle sprain, but Eichel is seeing doctors/getting imaging done.

Hope its not as bad as it looks.

First overall pick anyone?

the only way this teams gets first overall pick is if they win the lottery, not a chance in H e double hockey sticks we finish last, even if Jack is gone for the year.

If Lehrer or O'Reilly get hurt, we'll have a hard time winning games

At the very least he's missing 15 games. Good lord this city just can't have nice things.
