Did not realize Morgan Frost has been a healthy scratch 5 games in a row

Philly should trade him as last year he showed he was an NHLer and 2 meh games this season should not change that

With Philly doing well they should just move him somewhere so he can play and get assets back

They've got him signed to a real nice deal with RFA expiry, and he had a monster year last season. I doubt he's on the move

Goalie Controversies:

Anaheim - Dostal got the start today and won, giving him an even split of the first 8 game of the season and the Ducks showing that they are doing a full Tandem/Platoon deployment with Gibson.

Seattle - Daccord gets the start today, making his 3rd straight and 5th out of 9 on the season. Grubauer has 4 starts and looks to be a 1B again just like last year; eventually he might lose his job permanently for allowing "the other guy" to take the net early in the season (Jones last year and Driedger the prior one).

Buffalo - not really a controversy, but UPL now gets his chance to get a hot hand in Buffalo and it might well be his last real shot if he blows it.

Toronto - Samsonov gets the start today; giving him a slight edge over Woll on the season. His deployment is the same as Demko in Vancouver so far. Unless performance dictates a change; this looks likely a 1A/1B split with 2 out 3 going to Samsonov.

Ottawa - Korpisalo gets the 2nd straight start breaking the rotation with him and Forsberg. Could be the opportunity he needs to take the 1A job but Sens don't have a lot of games coming up (only 9 games in next 30 days) so they might still split duty to stay fresh.

New Jersey - If Schmid starts tomorrow it will be an even split and reveal that the Devils are going for a Tandem/Platoon with Vanecek.

Edmonton - If Skinner gets the start tomorrow it will be same as NJ but if it is Campbell then Oilers are showing a 1A/1B rotation in favor of Jack.

Leafs crowd would be so elite. Hell, they were able to make Jack Campbell saves electric with the Soup chants. Gotta love MLSE

So apparently Ottawa will be punished for not telling Vegas Evgeni Dadonov had a NTC (which then caused the debacle that was the Anaheim-Vegas Dadonov trade)

Fast approaching the 10-game mark - "the first real gut check time of the season"...

EDM has 3-pts thus far (btw the best clubs are in the TEENS for pts at this stage).

Ken Holland has lost his fastball LOL

Has been the play for NJD all along. I would not call it, “controversial”.

Yep agreed but the title wasn't so fun if it was "Goalie Conversations". Anyway, the mainstream media is always slow to picking up on these things. Heck even most of the guys in my fantasy leagues treated Vanecek like he was going to be a premium starter.

Refs should be out of a job after that in the Canucks - Rangers game. Tripping doesn't get more blatant than that...

The rangers are a mid team that constantly gets helped by the refs. The leagues need them to be good after the failed rebuild

Genuinely baffled. Refs definitely had money on the Rangers. There are some understandable missed calls, but when a player sticks the leg out to trip a player, I don't get how you can even pretend that nothing happened

They needed two 5 on 3 penalties to score during regulation. It’s insane

They let Tyler Myers score a short handed goal. I don't know what else needs to be said

Former Pittsburgh Penguin Adam Johnson (he played 13 games for the Pens from 2018 to 2020) has died after getting his throat cut by a skate blade yesterday in an EIHL (UK’s top hockey league) game
