GDT JAN 8: BJs @ Leafs, 7pm SN

We really should win these last 2 before the break.

The Jackets are all banged up and on the backend of a back to back, and we likely don't face bobrovsky. A loss here would be a real shame.

Need to jump them early. Can't let them get their forecheck going and wear us down. We seem to have lots of trouble with CBJ, although I believe this is the first time it will be Andy in net and not McE since we acquired him.

No changes in lineup? Dermott stays in?

promoted, actually.

And Carrick dermotted.

Polak next hopefully once the Z on D is back.

pun intended?

If Zaitsev comes back tomorrow I have no doubt it is young Dermott who will get sent down.

Give Dermott another 5 or 6 games, and MAYBE he can earn the trust of Babs so he truly sticks.

The positive is 1. Babs is letting Dermott play on the RHD, which improves his chance of sticking, and 2. I am reading Dermott will be paired with Gardiner tonight and not Polak. I am sure either case his TOI will be #5 or even #6 when the game's over, but if he faces tougher competition it also means Babs trusts him.

Hopefully another strong game for the Derminator tonight. We need another quality defenceman desperately.

Interesting to hear Babs say he'd have been on the team already if he was a RH shot

0% chance.

Willy needs to stop that one handed reach while his legs are already headed out of the d zone. Failed to clear twice that shift because of it.

Death, Taxes, and Roman Polak minor penalties

Right on the numbers the whole way...just stone cold stupid Polak.

How does Chicago trade Panarin to get Saad back?

yeah the hawks kind of lost their minds this offseason.

Roman "Mongo" Polak

i read somewhere that polak has put us down 2 men 3 of the past 5 games or something.

please, roman, keep taking those penalties and you'll be dermotted soon enough.

Was Panarin going to become more expensive than they expected?

Dermott is a lovely skater...after seeing him (albeit a very small sample size) is anyone still mad that we turned the Travis Konecny pick into Dermott, Bracco, & Nielsen/Dzierkals? (I forget which of the two it was without looking it up)

Dermott is real fast.

dermott is doing everything right so far.
