I would imagine we'll get a big news dump this morning. Pelletier & Gilbert updates and a bunch of cuts.

What's the deal with Kylington? I thought he would just miss a day.

The way that presser was worded kind of makes me think he isn't coming back. I imagine they toll/terminate his contract if he is out for the year again.

If that ends up happening, wow. Had no idea, thought he was in the clear.

Yeah, the presser was vague but “Following yesterday’s medical and fitness testing, it was determined that Oliver is unable to participate in the opening of training camp today,” the team said in a statement. “As this is a private personal matter, no further information will be provided.” does not give great vibes

He took a similar path to Sharangovich too, cut wide left before coming back into the center slot; Dubes dekes and Yegor sniped it.

I wonder if players discuss stuff like that - "let's make the same move except I will shoot and if I score, you deke". If not, they should.

I’ve often wondered the same thing; all that chatter on the bench can’t always be warehouse banter, gotta be some actual strategy being discussed!!

Hard to say with mental health. He could be back in a month but it could easily reoccur through the season. Feel bad for him. Nobody signs up for mental health problems.

That adjustment may leave the goalie a touch less than perfectly positioned, giving a slight advantage to the shooter

Edit: wonder if Marc Savard is suggesting this as an option
Almost looked like they started going backwards. Surprised that is never called.

It is NEVER called. The whole rule kind of irks me and I can't wait until the shootout is gone. It doesn't simulate a breakaway anymore.

What if what they replace it with is worse.

Not sure if this was mentioned anywhere, but any word on goal songs for new players? I am positive somebody has thought of a good one for Coronato already. Maybe what sounds like a coronation song? That would make me laugh every time a rookie scored.. or basically anyone. WWE's usage of the "Great Gate of Kiev" for Jerry the King Lawler or Harley Race way back in the day spring to mind.

I've been saying this for years: Two pucks on the ice at the same time.

I get that the onus now is on the player delivering the check, but that was a terrible decision to cutback like that with a guy in his back pocket.

Both teams have to pull the goalie.
