When does Nilsson start?

I would imagine against a team that isn't doing super to start the year.

Starting in practice doesn't count.

I thought he looked like poop in the pre-season. It wouldn't hurt to have him play a game or two now though.

my guess is Friday against Sabres. back to back games.

I agree. But we're 3 games into the season.

Given the team's situation, I don't miND giving the goalies a few games in a row each to see how they handle/work through it.

Unless one really grabs the starter's role, I'd like to see close to an even split. However, don't switch each game. Give each a few starts (or at least a couple) in a row in each rotation.

The team rrally needs t find out where they are with both goalies.

I remember at the end of Free agency, everyone thought we had a team that was good for an extra 10-15 points, and thought it moved us up potentially 5 spots, but truthfully, with how marginally better we got, the west and the rest of the NHL got better too. All the scores last night were won by 3 goals, and the Canucks are a team that are really offensively challenged. I would honestly be surprised if we were not a bottom 3 team again this year.

Demko putting up good numbers so far. Currently gaa of 1.34 and save percent of 95.3. 🖒

Boucher and Goldobin have been really good as well

Yup, you read it right, or interpreted right.

I'm always surprised.... not surprised by the reactions on this thread.

Cull had some good things to say about both players. Also, both are killing penalties, good sign.

Nice. Let's hope no injuries to the big club so that demko can have a full year as (hopefully) a starter in Utica.

when did he get traded to Ottawa, so you are saying he starts against the Canucks tomorrow.

We all knew that our D was going to go down to injury. Tanev or Edler are good for missing 10+ games a year. Edler going down this early just really puts things into perspective. Leading forwards in ice time at even strength being Sutter and Dorsett is a good indication of how things are going too lol.

haha I thought we were talking about Nilsson. I think it would be preferred he played a team not doing super well, but at this point, just throw him to the wolves and see how he does against any team.

Agreed. Maybe next season he can be a call up/backup.

Not everyone, there were a few of us that thought a top 1-5 pick was more the reality

I don't think they actually got better, and they're slower too with Hansen out and Vanek in. A bottom finish is what they need anyways. Continue to try and find some great young players through drafting.
