2. Yay Joshua is back. I’d say if Garland EP40 and Hoglander can’t figure it out by the Vegas game, we go back to the lifeline.

   Glad Bains is getting another look and let’s hope he has the confidence to start shooting more. It’s kinda funny how much our AHL group is helping our main group this year. We actually have not only a prospect pool but a good development system unlike the past decade of wasting talents in Utica. It’s a miracle Demko made it to the NHL

3. All good news.

   Will be great to see Lindholm and Demmer back for Rd 1 of the playoffs. Better they sit out now than then.

4. Pod-Suter-Bains could be a fun 4th line

5. Glad Joshua is back. Interesting how frequently they’re scratching PDG now. Thought he’d be getting more games in over guys like Aman, Bains and podkolzin

6. I want to put the third line back together and put 6-40-9 back together.

   Then we are left with Mikheyev-Lindholm-Hoglander as a second or third line, depending on how you look at it. That’s pretty damn good.

7. I wasn’t sold on Joshua at the start of the year, but he has become such a key part of this team. The drop in energy on the third line was clear as day the moment he went down. So glad he’s back.

   He also plays the style that is badly needed to win in the playoffs.

8. glad bains is getting another shot!
