Would be pretty impressive if Gauthier could be a Hobey Baker finalist as a freshman. Fantilli appears to be on that path also.

Does anyone know if Atkinson traveled with the team?

Looked like a good night for Gauthier.

Anyone else watching Flyers after dark?

Laughts!

That was more true of prior generations than now.

Of course, guys like McDavid who are superstars out of the gate don’t bother too often, but sometimes a little polishing isn’t bad.

Makar, for example. Definitely elite.

Gaudreau played in college. Eichel. Brindy. Patrick Sharp! Man, I’d love to have another shot at keeping a guy like Sharp. Toews and Kessel. Werenski. Quinn Hughes. Pavelski. Oh, and didn’t your boy Guentzel start in college?

I wouldn’t thumb my nose at having any of those guys on my team.

Seems to be more common for defensemen and goalies, though.

Back on the bottom 3 where we belong. Adding Fantilli would be pretty sweet.

Keeping our window open for Bedard, Fantilli, or Michkov.

Michkov might be tough to pry from Russia, though. Whomever drafts him might have to exchange an arms dealer in return. Carlsson could be the safer pick just because of foreign relations.

This bitter pill of a season will be tough to get down, but hopefully we’ll have a solid base to build around again soon. The last time didn’t work out well, especially with what we thought was a budding defense, but hey. You take another swing.

The year we don't want the goaltending to be elite, sigh.

A lot of people here would say he’s been terrible and is our Achilles heel.

Torts plays 2 dmen for the entire OT and they still give up a breakaway

Anything less than a shutout is not acceptable.

Not sure, I would think being 32nd in the league in scoring would be a bigger issue. I do agree Torts needs to play Sandstrom more.

As soon as I saw how tight that 3 on 2 was I knew that was going to happen.

Not when they only score one goal a game; winning 1-0 isn’t very common these days.

No need to worry when Atkinson returns, this goal scoring problem will be over. He's just so close to returning. Really close. Any day now. 🥱
