Lol...sorry
Someone sounds bitter that hes responsible for Backlund's concussion.

For shame Monahan. For shame.

For what its worth I loved Peters' response in his post-game: the game was over at the open-ice trip and it should have been an automatic goal and game over.

If its anyone's fault, its the refs'.

Personal accountability is an illusion, the universe is an orderless chaotic mess and we have no option but to listlessly drift along with no thought to how our actions affect others because we can not hope to control anything.

This is literally one of the dumbest things ever posted to this forum.

This team can either slot down Lindholm at EV strength (which to me is the smartest move) or can move Jankowski up and give him a chance with better players, which would tell us a great deal about him however long a shot that would be. Unless Backlund broke/dislocated something we can't assume he'll miss more than 3-4 games as concussions are such a wildcard from person to person.


Bennett centred Chiasson, Versteeg and Brouwer, while being coached by Gulutzan. I’d like to see anyone succeed in that situation.

I think it would be unwise to split up Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm right now if we don’t need to. They’re too damn good.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Bennett - Neal
Mangiapane - Jankowski - Czarnik
Dube - Ryan - Hathaway

Too many split second decisions happen to make statements like, "Monahan didn't do this so it lead to Backlund's injury blah blah." So many other things happened from that moment up to the injury that you could pick on then.

Should Monahan have scored? Absolutely. But does he shoulder the blame for Backlund's injury? Not at all.

Derek Wills just said that “John [Shannon] is right more often than he is wrong...”

Clearly, the universe is folding in on itself.

Maybe he thinks this because John Shannon is right more often than Wills?

Suggesting that he "shoulders some blame" honestly forces me to question your mental faculties.

I can use your exact logic to argue that Andrew Mangipane should feel like a "dumb ass" who "failed to create a safe situation" because he missed a wide open net in the first period. After all, all other things being equal, that would have also made it 3-0. Hell, I could likely use your logic to make any player on either roster out to be the bad guy. Which only underscores how absurd your position is.

I think Bennett's game has progressed and he is doing more cnetre-like things. Also, who did he centre before? This time it would be Tkachuk and someone like Neal or maybe Czarnik/Mangiapane. I think his chances of success are a little higher.

I agree you never know with concussions. But Backlund missed about a week before skating again last time he had a concussion. Granted, it was world cup and training camp time.

For those interested, Peters's PC begins @ 20:30. I love how he walks out in the middle of his final answer.

I hope its nothing too serious. If Backlund is out for a few games I actually really want to see how Gaudreau would play with Lindholm at center and Neal on RW. They looked really good together at the short time they were together(about a period). I think it is the perfect time to get Neal going, meanwhile Monahan will still generate plenty of offense.

Gaudreau - Lindholm - Neal
Tkachuk - Monahan - Bennett
Mangiapane - Jankowski - Czarnik/Ryan
Rychel/Lomberg - Czarnik/Ryan - Hathaway
