Svech will likely go. Brindy has stated that it's basically up to if he wants to go or not because he has been cleared to play. 

Martinook may go but he's probably a gametime decision.

Ferland COULD be back for game 4 or 5 if it goes that far. If we win tomorrow, I think we keep Ferland resting and try to finish it without him so he's for sure good for the ECF. 

We likely go Fleury over Bean but we'll see.

CBJ held serve at home. game 4 should be very interesting.



Basically forces us to win both home games to give us a chance at rest before the next round. Not to mention the sheer momentum of going into the next round off a sweep.

Mrazek out. That is really concerning. Sounds like they feared that the injury was serious, which is even more concerning. I must admit, if we don't stem the tide of these injuries, it's going to be a tough road going forward.



Not THAT concerning. Mac has done well all year. Not concerned with him in net. Team will protect him. Brindy said that Mrazek could be back soon in the presser today but it's unknown really (Brindy's word "it's not as bad as we feared" and "it's a nagging thing"). He's day to day, they're gonna take their time. Don't expect Mrazek until next round or later.

We were behind when McElhiney came in the other night, the D stepped up and did work. Mrzak can rest up.

Mrazek might be back if Mac does struggle a few games...but if he plays lights out for the next few games you might see Mac take over duties, hard to replace a goal tender when they are hot.

    • Actually I have always felt that using a qb to sneak was a huge mistake even for big guys. Do you remember when Cam sneaked the ball and got a helmet spear to the head and it wasn't even called. It is unnecessary and potentially dangerous. Everyone knows what you are going to do. Why not have a big guy or backup run the ball who is disposable? Yeah they know what is coming if you bring in a big guy. Like they don't if you keep the QB in...... Actually there are many more reasons not to sneak the ball with the qb versus using something else like New Orleans did who could still run or pass.
    • you want me to provide evidence of his jump balls? Or bailing the pocket?  I don't think either of those claims requires me to show you evidence.  What do you want evidence of exactly?  never did I mention downfield throws.  I said, he gets blind to play at the lines because of his size (the quick stuff).  There are literally plays I don't have time to search for but have been highlighted on QB school where there is just no way he can see the options on certain plays even if wide open (talking behind and around the line of scrimmage).   Line too close paired with the receiving  option too close.  And the stat I referenced (which you can find on next gen stats) was he is below average at and behind the line of scrimmage....which I'm sure his size/vision plays a role in the why. I have an agenda? Cool.  Then so do you.  and again, Bryce's cherry picked best play (which isn't how anything works).....still leaves him on the low end of production.  I'm not overly bashing Bryce.  I just acknowledge, most signs point to him having a low ceiling.  And in the big picture, that's not the direction you want to go.  He is our QB for now.  I hope he improves.  Which in turn would allow our O and others to develop.   But to me, there isn't much of an argument that Bryce Young is anything but short term solution.   
    • Again where is the evidence. You keep saying it but honestly you have shown no evidence. Unless you know what he was supposed to do and then what he did do, you don't know anything about his intentions and or forced changes due to height. His completion percentage for passes from 1 to 10 yards was only slightly lower than his best percentage which was 10 to 20 yards passing.  Not enough of a difference to be significantly different.  Truth is you have an agenda that you try to justify despite any evidence to the contrary. Many of us felt the same way but have allowed his actual play to inform our opinion. I still would have picked Stroud over Bryce but I am willing to keep an open mind and see what is there instead of filtering everything through my biases and already polarized opinions.
