Vladar starting and Kuzmenko not playing in Edmonton



Very curious. Have loved Kuzmenko since we got him but the coach seems to be pulling a leesh on a very positive player.

    I almost clicked on a Francis link… Phew that was close

    I worked with a person who was super charming and fun … also wouldn’t listen or take direction about their performance and lack of commitment. They were eventually fired. A leash is used in all jobs.

    Not taking morning skate doesn’t mean he’s scratched.

    Idk if I’m missing another headline, but I’m not seeing anything that confirms he’s not playing.

  4. Maybe he’s nursing an injury and they decided to rest him…

    Should have called up and started Wolf. He’s gonna be seeing McDavid a lot

    Well I picked Connor McDavid in the Tim Horton’s Pick em, so with Vladar in net he is guaranteed to break his eight game goalless drought. Edit – ah shit I picked Kuzmenko last night too.

    Markstrom is hurt. By all means keep playing the players we are trying to trade though.

    Looks like the baguette boys are back together

  9. Oh for fucks sake. I chose Kuzmenko as one of my Tim’s picks

    Vladdy plays better against EDM than Markstrom. They’ve done this before for EDM games. Same with the
    AVS.

    I don’t think this means Marky is being traded since it’s a pattern that even Francis has pointed out before he decided to push the Markstrom-is -leaving story ad nauseam.

  11. Why move marky when he’s been incredible…

    Why can we never play Edmonton at full strength? First game we didn’t have anderson or Zary or pospisil, last game we didn’t have pospisil and now this game we don’t have kuzmenko. Even in the playoffs we were missing tanev almost the whole time.

    Does anyone think we will use Kuzmenko as a trade chip? Honestly would love to see him stay on a similar contract to the one he signed with van.
