Thanks. I guess I should have waited a few more minutes - Schloss just put an article in the Herald that said both Cags and Schmaltz are out for this weekend.
If any of you are in the crowd booing the new nickname, stop it. I dislike it as much as anyone, but booing your own team (which is essentially what you are doing) only drags out the whole fiasco. If you don't want to use it, fine. Just don't boo it.
We need to improve on faceoffs - Schmaltz and Simonson are under 500, and LJ is at .536. No one is lighting it up. PP is another area that needs work - 18% is a little low. Maybe St. Clair can help.
LJ can't seem to avoid dumb penalties, and hasn't been productive either. At this point he is a liability and needs to sit. Give someone else a chance.
Much as I would love to see Boeser and Schmaltz stick around for another year, I don't see it happening. Boeser is too good at putting the puck in the net and Schmaltz is too good a playmaker, and it didn't hurt that he got bigger than he was last year. Just speculation - I see them both in the NHL next year.
