Knies was also taken off the top line for McMann in the 1st post-Savard game, which was very overdue. Knies had just 1 point (an assist) in 8 games prior to that. 8 points in 6 games while playing mostly away from Matthews since the firing.

I feel like if Cade Webber were even remotely close to being something that even kinda resembles a NHL calibre defenceman a Treliving/Berube team with this many injuries on D would have tried calling him up already.

To top it all off he's not even particularly physical, which is usually what keeps someone like this in the line-up. I really liked Myers' play last season so I don't know what's happened to him now. But it's really not worth trying to "fix" a 7-8-9-10 defenceman when he's hurting your team...

Carlo had his surgery December 3rd, and was supposed to be out for about a month from that time. He's also been skating for a little over a week now so the timeline for his return seems about right (imagine that!). No McCabe could be brutal if this is even a medium-term thing. Myers back in for...

So which one of Stecher and Benning is gonna slide over to the left side on our top pairing?

I was a Sam O'Reilly (picked 1 spot later) guy at the draft and he seemed to have a much better showing, although I'm not entirely sure I agree with him being named one of the top 3 players on the team. It's also a little tough to see Igor Chernyshov (picked 2 spots later) lighting it up in his...

Pretty embarassing actions by a few players at the end there. Maybe picking a Tkachuk-wannabe for captain wasn't the best choice.

Man, this would be brutal.

Benning time. Like I said in the last GDT, hopefully he plays like someone who wants to desperately prove he's a legit NHLer again.

Eklund probably should have been there somewhere but at least that's not really the role Holmberg took. Stunned though that they would pick him over Mikael Backlund, who might be getting a little older but is still have a pretty solid season: playing the 2nd most minutes on the Flames, on pace...

Robertson not being there might be the biggest Olympic snub ever. And Fox might be number 2. I hope Phil's teaching them some good snark tweets.

That should be the last game for Myers here for a pretty long time. Was benched for the last 6:30 minutes of the game. Give Benning a game or two and see if he'll have that same sort of "this is my last chance" mentality that Stecher came in with. Even if he's not great Carlo's return shouldn't...

Well injuries suck, but glad to see Quillan getting another game. On the flip side bummer to see Benning up but not playing.
