Haven't seen much of them of course. That's ridiculous for a roster assembled of middle depth players from around the league.

Expected a drop off a couple weeks ago. What a weird season.
Hard work, hard skating, never give up, and grind away at their wins. Solid goaltending all the way down to 3rd string doesn’t hurt either. I’ve been following them as my 2nd team since I spend a fair amount of time there and have watched around 1/2 the games, including one there so far. Fun team to follow.

Didn't see this posted anywhere and didn't catch it myself, but one Redditor noticed a certain somebody last night religiously dedicating oneself to another ritualistic post-victory ceremony.

Comments like that always make me wonder if Sean himself is running the BoringSeanMonahan account.

I don't think there's any doubt, personally.

The best fourth line we can build is Mangiapane-Stajan-Hathaway.

A lot of these guys (Lazar, Brouwer, Versteeg) are being force fed 4th line ice time without being the best option.

I would like to see if Hrivik might be better than Stajan. The latter has been pretty bad many games, and Hrivik is doing well in Stockton and looked okay in the pre-season.

I like Hrivik too. Could very well be the answer.

If I really wanted to tweak the 4th line come playoffs, I'd consider Mangiapane-Dube-Hathaway. I believe Dube showed that he can drive play as a center when he was making Tanner Glass look good in the preseason. Glass would not have a contract without Dube.

Lazar/F. Hamilton are both better than Stajan. Hrivik also sounds like he’s impressing, but I haven’t watched him play this year.

Mangiapane-Hrivik-Hathaway would have previous experience playing together as a line.

Only somewhat, as Huska broke them up quickly. I don't know if that was to spread out the ability level of each line or because there wasn't chemistry, as I didn't watch those games.
