I never said it was flowers. I'm certainly aware of the other side. I'm also being realistic. Demko conveyed he feels he can get back to 100%. That's great news, hearing directly from Demko himself after all this time. Incredibly positive given the uncertainty. What's also positive is that we don't have to rush Demko back. Especially after Silovs gave the organization the confidence last season in the playoffs. What's also incredibly positive is that we have Slivos, who has been thrust into high pressure scenarios for the past three years in a row at the highest levels, elevating and handling that pressure each year, culminating with two rounds of playoffs last season. This is not a back up of similar caliber as Martin or Delia. His development has been unconventional. We're extremely fortunate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bh90 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Interesting to see day 1 lines that stand out to me are. He said day 1 might reveal the "pairs" so let's look at below Heinen - Miller - Boeser Debrusk - Petey - Lek Hoglander - Raty - Garland Bains - Suter - Sprong Blais - Aman - Karlsson PDG - Sasson - Sherwood And these I think are the pairs Miller - Boeser Debrusk - Petey Suter - Sprong <-- this one I really like no pair on Garland line as he pointed to Joshua - Garland so he thinsk the C can be interchangeable based on this my guess for opening night will be Heinen - Miller - Boeser Debrusk - Petey - Sherwood Bains - Blueger - Garland Hoglander - Suter - Sprong 13 F - Aman Than when Joshua's back Bains goes back to AHL. Sasson goes to AHL Karlsson I think has outside chance and is competing vs Hogs and Sprong Blais has outside chance too and I can see him getting a spot over Bains until Joshua is back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inflammation is much different than injury, treatable, and routinely manageable. I'm saying it's not all doom and gloom, worse case scenario. Levels of concern, sure, but we just got good news today from Demko that he feels he can get to 100%. This is all on the heels of Silovs taking the next step under the most extreme pressure of the playoffs. Silovs is filling in for Demko. I think we're ok given the circumstances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure961089 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 (edited) 3 hours ago, Lewlowned said: Lekke is so soaking in this moment. And I think this pairing of DPetey and Hronek is a very likely a future pairing along with Hughes and Willander. These people in our management group like Allvin plan years in advance. JR, PA, true visionaries of hockey in building winners. just like they did in Carolina and in Pittsburgh, they have a blueprint for success. But above all their pro scouting have an eye for talent and their player development cut gems out of average rocks. Watch what they do with Desharnais Edited September 19 by Pure961089 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 How is everybody feeling? I think we are better than the start of last year! We cannot, or I'm not anyway, counting Zadorov & Lindholm. Presuming Demko comes good? the 2knd question, really, is if Desharnais on his natural side is better than Ian Cole on his off side? He will, of course be bigger & add nasty side even Joshua did not offer? I do not think he will be relied on to move the puck too often, he's ability to clear it or make a first pass? With Demko will probably the barometer of whether we are a 3r place team, or taking on Edmonton for first... Center is just as if not more solid, with experience better than ever! Wings faster, Hoglander a year better. I love that Tochet is talking about triggering our break & playing faster. Busting out for breaks, putting pressure on other teams. Which means a quick South to North pass not chip out by Sousy, Desharnais, Myers, to players like Heinen, Garland, DeBrusk. I am drooling at Pettersson & someday, soon, Lekkerimaki. When Hughes carries up, it takes away opposition cheating to cover a breaking wing as they also have to possible jump in to center ice to stop him. So those stretch passes should absolutely open up. Our best three prospects in several years are from the doorstep to 1 & 1/2 years away; Willander, Lekkerimaki & D Petey. Who project to fill out our line up & style beautifully! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
