I left off Robin Lehner, who hasn't played in 2 years, who is, by all rights, signed through next year. He hasn't played in 2 years even though I deeeeeeply love him. I miss panda so much. I also left off all the guys who got traded over the summer or aren't playing anymore (Phil Kessel, Teddy Blueger, Nolan Patrick, Reilly Smith, Laurent Brossoit) Rip our wives, but none of them have played at all this year, so.

Image ID: a tweet from Jesse Granger, posted Dec 31, 2023, which reads: "Alec Martinez has plenty of experience in outdoor games. Asked if he gave any tips to his teammates and he said his biggest tip is to wear eye black when given the opportunity because it looks cool."
The announcers just said that Martinez isn’t on the bench to start the second period, can we really not get through a game without ONE injury? Is that too much to ask 😭😭
