Injured? Getting the crap beat out of you by the same guy, twice, will do that.

[Jonas Mahonas 1,872]

nice goaltending.  dude is swiss cheese.

[Neomaxizoomdweebie 3,083]

5 goals against. Again.

Both Greiss and Nedeljkovic couldn't stop beachballs rolling at them. Another embarrassing lose.

I'm fearing for our goalie situation. Just when you think SY has engineered a solution it's crap again. Clearly Ned is still very much a rookie. It's obvious he was stellar to start the season but has now succumbed to the grind and is falling apart. This was always my fear with young players. Leaning on them too heavily and wrecking their confidence in formative years. I for one still agree with the Holland "over ripening" concept.

We're approaching now not just being able to add JVP. We will have to add a legit starter again. Not good. 

I have been traveling for the last several days and have missed games (thankfully I guess). Can someone give an honest assessment of the new players? I knew Sundqvist would be well liked immediately, but how is Walman? I hear really good things, but just blanket statements so far. Who is he most comparable too?

Ned has definitely been leaned on too heavily. Especially during this last stretch where his stats has begun looking worse and worse. Problem is Greiss is so ******* brutal this year that they just cant't play him. He's worst in the league among goalies playing over 20 games.

Yeah, Ned will be fine as the defense in front of him improves. Def need a more reliable vet to pair with him next season though.

At this point, we are playing for a draft pick. Embrace the tank.

Agreed.  Part of the problem with adding key pieces during TDL/UFA = you have to add them at the draft.  And its hard to add key pieces when you dont have a top 5 pick.
