Does anyone have the least bit of inclination when we might expect tp see Lodnia back in the line up...it has been a long recovery for someone who supposedly only had a minor injury. It will be nice to see the whole team playing together for a few games at least. Go Dogs Go

I think IDTW tweeted last week that the team told them hopefully 1-2 weeks hopefully next weekend

Clearly not a minor injury, or indicative of aggravation of said injury, or additional injury has been sustained.

Not talking off ice ff51 but on ice he exudes cockiness. Extra little dangles and drags trying to make the hi lite reel.

So you are saying Billy's medical degree probably isn't real. Does IDTW know that?

Ok maybe not cocky but his body language on the ice says alot. Just my opinion. Would not want to ruffle the feathers of his true fans.

I find a lot of our players worry to much about the fancy shmancy hilight reel goals....and then you see a guy like Paquette just shoot the puck at the net harmlessly and surprise surprise it goes in. Sometimes simpler and less fancy is better. I throw my hands up every game at some point knowing how èasy it can be if you just SHOOT the dam puck.. how many times has that one extra pass cost us or waiting just a split second to long to get that shot off?. Maybe someday they will get it.

I feel like it’s a home team thing especially if they are supposed to be a good skilled team I think our guys and probably a lot of other teams play better on the road cause they just keep it simple

So early on it was decided Thomas was THE star and even though his play is off since his injury and better players have been brought in, Thomas is still a "go to" guy. I'm not saying he is a slouch but if you form your lines based on performance and execution then Thomas and Philip are playing too high.

How so? Tomasino was a third line player to start the season and now is on the top line. Sopa started on the second line and now plays on the 4th line (although I think that is a mistake). Phillip started the season on the top line and now is on the 3rd line.

My point is they are evaluating players all the time.

Nobody here believes Thomas is the same since his injury. Have they evaluated his playing ability since then in your opinion and if so, do you still believe he is top 3 and #1 PP?
