If Hofer is still with the team tomorrow

Post by WeWentBlues0819 »

It’s a cardinal-esque signal they aren’t trying to compete this year. He’s more lost than shaky Jakey Allen ever was. He needs to be in the AHL tonight. We can’t keep throwing points away when binner sits.

The boos and then the cheer for Binnington. Was a ugly thing to see.

They should be booing the guy who is playing yahtzee with the line up

Something is wrong with Joel, it seems to be mental. Almost like his switch got flipped, sudden and total power outage. I think you give him a start on the road and if it happens again he may need to get sent down.

“Will the Thrill” was recently demoted to the ECHL Florida Everblades.

Can't be much worse than Hofer right now, plus he hacks & whacks.

He’d have to clear waivers to get sent down. Even with these 2 bad games, he wouldn’t clear.

I sure hope not, but it looks a lot like that.

This.

The loss tonight is on Monty. No reason whatsoever to go back to Hofer right now. Terrible decision.

He’s going through a very rough patch obviously but he’s showed plenty of skill. He’ll get his head back on straight. But he should not be starting any division games for the time being

Only got to see the highlights but man those goals were soft early. That stuff is back breaking. The year that Husso outplayed Binner the same thing happened. Binner was letting in garbage goals and Husso went out there and just made the normal plays. The team played significantly better in front of Husso than they did Binner, Until binner went superfreak mode in the playoffs. This team is significantly different but When those gross goals go in early, its hard to not be like "here we go again."

Hofer won the locker room over tho. He will bounce back. But I think you need to give him a 3-4 game sit. You can't keep putting Binner in there off the bench. It's not good for him either.
