  1. So this is the guy being called up for Lisette. Just when I think I learn their names. 

    /s typo in the article 

    But in all seriousness, it’s a shame Blomqvist is getting sent back down. But it’s pretty much the only move. I’d rather see him not get ruined by games like Dallas. 

  2. Good, I’ve liked Ponomarev.

    No slight to Blom here, it’s only because he’s waivers exempt. Guess he’ll just have to beat up on the AHL…again.

  3. Hopefully Neito never gets a roster spot and is just insurance for injuries. Let the kids play and see what happens. In respect to Jarry, make his ass play. Either he plays better or he sinks and gets boo’d more. That dude is almost 30, protect him like a twelve year old is insane to me.

  4. I guess this means Lizotte is reinjured. Interesting that they’re calling up Ponomorev. I would have figured if they were looking to find a spark, they’d call up Broz, who’s game is honestly looking insanely good right now. 

  5. Weird spot to be in but i’m pumped with how well WBS is playing that they’re bolstering the goalie position

  6. We should play Ponomarev as the 3C and Poulin as the 4C. And give them actual minutes. It doesn’t matter how many mistakes they make or what, we need to give them time here and not have them being afraid of being benched every time they mess up. The focus should be on player development, not benching young players for mistakes like we’ve seen in the past.

  7. Hopefully Jarry can increase his trade value a bit for a decent return then bring Blom back up if Jarry is traded.
