They signed Rieder with the intent of having him in the everyday lineup as a PK specialist. Since than Zemgus went down, Rieder has shown the "play fast" element RK wants, and he has scored 3 goals in the team's only tuneups. He's not on an inside track. He's on the team.

And Ullmark showing a shortside canyon there. Cant do that with Jack.

Bad Flashback from Tage there.

Hutton gave up on that one. If play in this game has any significance this top six might be together for a while.

Borgen dumps Cozens.

Quinn strips Dahlin.

I think Mitts played centre the whole game tonight.

Reinhart schools Samuelsson there. Gold winning this one.

Cozens with some speed and power... and then eliminated by Casey

I’d say Rieder Eakin Staal and Hall have been what Adams was hoping. Again, just two scrimmages.

Definitely. As has Mittelstadt. Another observation people might not expect: Skinner has created more with the two plumbers than he did with the two studs. ...And Rieder with his third. They’ve been legit goals too.

This is what I’ve seen. Hasnt been bad, but hasn’t accomplished much either. Im not reading much into it.

People arent going to like this, but VO looking like a much better fit with Staal and Reinhart than Skinner did in the last game.

Quinn looking like Dahlin with that pass. Holy *****

Toby Rieder has looked like a hockey player both games. Good jump.

Samuelsson just looks solid again.

Risto caught Hall there. Not something you’re going to see often.

Quinn has shown more offence in this game than he did in the World Juniors.

Colts are a good team and played exactly the game they needed to play and they still couldn’t beat us. We made more plays, better team won.

This Hall guy ain’t bad.

Mittelstadt and Quinn with some decent offensive work last shift

Yep.

I don't know the particulars as to this deal, but Lebrun was talking about the helmet ads on Vancouver radio yesterday. He said a number of teams aren't making new money off the helmet ads, they are using them as a way to thank sponsors for staying loyal. Basically, "we haven't been doing as good a job rewarding you with exposure since COVID and here is one way we can make it up to you." Given that it's Keybank and Roswell Park, I'd suggest that is probably what's going on here.

My dad is planning to follow whatever guidelines provided. Right now that precludes travelling to see my sister. However, there was a long stretch they could have visited and didn't due to personal choice — mostly her concern she would put him at risk. This has put her mind at ease enough that he plans to visit her whenever the restrictions are relaxed.

Most interesting thing to watch there is whether Cozens plays on BL2 with Skinner. Thompson is the only question getting a prime slot. Casey and Rasmus3 are on GL3 and R2 was moved away from them to play Blue. He could also play with Cozens.
