So this is more of a hypothetical until we know more tomorrow but in the coming couple weeks it’s may play a factor. We are currently carrying 14 forwards and 7 D. Obviously Lemieux and TDA are the “back-ups”

If everyone is healthy tomorrow/this week, who sits and why?

Leaning toward Kotkaniemi because everyone else you’d think about sitting also can play special teams (Drury - PK, Noesen - PP, Fast - PK).

Additionally, for Noesen and Fast, I can pick out things that they are very good at that will be beneficial come playoff time (Fast - forechecking, Noesen - net front).

Think it comes down to Drury or KK and Drury gets the nod due to special teams.

Though I can see management telling Rod not to sit a guy that we gave a long contract to.

Fast is too important to that Staal line to sit. We are going to rely on the Staal line locking down opposing teams first lines in the playoffs.

Noesen provides much needed offense on the 4th line and good net presence on the PP.

Agree it comes down to KK or Drury. The fact that Drury has been better on faceoffs and is better defensively gives him the nod over KK to me.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
