Devil Dan 56 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Nothing like a freak injury to kick the season off right. I want Stafford to succeed. He seems like a good guy. But I'm afraid it's just going to be more of him shanking shots in the slot. The good news is now everyone will crap on Stafford, so maybe Zacha can get a break haha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh he's gonna get in some games. These guys always seem to. He'll probably be in Thursday so I can face palm in person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like Noesen on the 2nd line. But if those lines are written correctly, he's on the opposite side from Wood. Out of the guys on the right side, it makes sense. Same re: Boyle, I don't like it unless Amanda just wrote it in the wrong order, which she has done previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of the lines either as they are though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I'm not gonna worry too much about the lines yet. Its the first game of the season. Other than the top line, a bunch of those combinations will probably change halfway through the 1st period tomorrow anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That little girl looks thrilled beyond words. Anyway, with Bratt’s injury I hope they give Wood a chance on the second line. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Eco Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Really upset about the Bratt injury, he was looking like another Hall on our lineup at times this preseason. He looked like he took a big step, what a sh!tty way to start the season. I'd feel for him regardless because it's obvious he put a lot of work in this summer, but the fact that this game is in Sweden makes it even tougher. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Would be worse if it was a leg or a groin. He'll miss like 5-7 games, that's not the end of the world. That he has to miss the game in Sweden, on a personal level, is what really sucks. I am sure he was very much looking forward to it.

They're banking on putting out enough quality content that people buck up and get a subscription. They're doing a good job, I've certainly considered getting one lately. ESPN and Yahoo aren't running the kind of stories they are lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The Athletic is absolutely worth the subscription. I wouldn't pay for anything else but the stuff they put out is always so much better than most of what else you'll read from main stream outlets. As for the article - it touched on how Greene was there for Larsson when his dad died because Andy faced similar when his dad died and mentioned how Parise was in touch with him because Zach dealt with JP passing. Basically a way to pay it forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonDreads Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I forked up the money for an Athletic sub last year and I highly recommend it, especially if you're like me and have enough down time at work to read an article or two. They have special offers pretty regularly so it's easy to wait for a price reduction, and it easily has the best hockey writers out of any paid blog. A lot of insightful stuff on there, I particularly like Dom Luchyshyn, Tyler Dellow, Corey Pronman, and Justin Bourne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) I don't have a subscription and I wouldn't pay for it but I downloaded their app and was able to read the article for free and it says I can read 2 more articles for free this month.
