Great game
Just a thought but what about Bob on Tuesday and Knight on Wednesday against the Kings. Is Bjornfot here to stay once Ekblad comes back?
knight should play 60% of the games left in the season
Bob has raised Knight well 🥲
Bob is still the guy but Spencer is shaping up to be Bob 2.0
I think Bjornfot is Schmidt’s replacement imo
I’d like
42 – 77
7 – 26
5 – 2 (jersey numbers of the players )
Tonight's game resembled our old selves. We played with lots of tenacity and I think we're going to be better from now on. Now, from these few games that Björnfot has been playing in the lineup, and considering he was "Defenseman of the Month" in the AHL, I think it's good to keep him in the lineup. He looks totally focused on the game, he just need to clean up some minor mistakes and generate offense when given the chance.
Jaws, about the D-men with expiring contracts:
– Nate Schmidt (800k, 2026 UFA)
– Adam Boqvist (775k, 2026 arbitration-eligible RFA)
– Tobias Björnfot (775k, 2026 arbitration-eligible RFA)
I wouldn't mind if we kept Adam Boqvist and let go of Nate Schmidt. Schmidt can sometimes be useful, but he isn't in his prime anymore, and he's anything but an OEL replacement. Adam Boqvist on the other hand, if he can get his head in the game, he can be a very good D-man, especially since he seems to be one of the fastest skaters out there.
Unfortunately Connor Murphy is on IR right now, so he's not someone we could think of a potential Ekblad replacement. Another D-man we can take a look at is Seattle's Jamie Oleksiak. 32 years at a cap hit of 4.60M (16-team NTC). His contract will expire in 2027, when he'll be an UFA. I've also heard talks that the Panthers are maybe interested in Cody Ceci and/or Mario Ferraro. Ceci was a bit disastrous for the Oilers, but Ferraro is young (26), he's the Sharks' current 2nd alternate captain, with a cap hit of 3.25M which will expire in 2027. I dunno much about Cody Ceci, he seems like a liability, but it would be good if we could get either Oleksiak or Ferraro. Oleksiak is a monster, at 6'7" and 257 lbs, while Ferraro is smaller and slimmer, at 6'0" and 209 lbs. Neither Oleksiak or Ferraro score many goals, with Oleksiak having 3 goals, 6 assists and 12 PIM, while Ferraro has 4 goals, 4 assists and 30 PIM.
Personally, I'd go with Oleksiak. As long he doesn't turn into a Zadorov-like situation for us (big-ass D-man who is slow as hell on the ice and takes dumb penalties every time), I think that his smaller amount of PIM might be beneficial for us, considering we cannot stay out of the box for the love of God. Ekblad keeps taking dumb penalties like a bum. Ekblad's got 39 PIM for Christ's sake.
They didn't look completely dead tonight but terrible penalties at the start again. And the 2 goals they did score were flukey so that wasn't the best either, especially against Gibson who usually never lets those in.
Apparently yelling don't piss me off for the pre game worked.
If you really look at that game we didn’t score a goal.. Gibson fuked up big time.. but knight played outstanding gotta give it to him. Take the 2 points and run
0:00 love to see a Chucky puppet but this time as a rat not an insult tho. LOL
