Middleton's ready!!!

Boldy wants Dallas.

 

[Wasted Talent]

Wild icing a preseason roster might be beneficial for Rossi, maybe he can emulate his preseason production.

So, Swaney and Walker up, to add to Petan and Rossi? Not exactly going thug, are we? I'm a bit surprised we didn't bring up one of the young D, though I think ROR is injured, so they are a bit shorthanded down there.

Tanked any chance of Iowa securing a playoff birth with that many forwards up.

Not really. Top 5 make the playoffs, not top 4. I made the same mistake. The next game is on Sat, so time to get back there, anyway.

It's a reward for a job well done down there. Keeps everyone motivated.

 

[DC4MVP]

I am very curious to see the lines for this one.

They were saying last night on the broadcast that Iowa needs 3 points to secure a playoff spot or they will need help to get in (ie team’s losing).

I think they have two games left, and are 4 points ahead of Chicago. Not sure about the tie breaker. Maybe they have a play in If you are in 5 th place, or something?

I don't know if this has all the answers you're looking for, but it has a lot of info, including the format towards the bottom.

 

[NHL1674]

Addison is a forward. Faber is in. That is a sad lineup. I feel for whichever goalie gets to be behind the mess.

Ok, so the #4 and #5 teams have a play in game. Iowa has two games left, and is 4 points ahead of the #6 team, Chicago, but they have 3 games left, so they could supplant either team if they win all their games, and Iowa/Rockford lose some or all of theirs.

Like I said, there is plenty of time for those guys to get back to Iowa for the weekend games, though, so there really isn’t an issue.

And Gus gets the start.

And Gus gets the start.

Nobody panic.

I think they're giving Gus the game because he IS game 1 starter. Playoffs start on the 17th or 18th. Gus last played Monday the 10th. That's 7 or 8 without playing if he doesn't play today. Getting him in today gets him ice time and only a 3-4 day rest which is more normal.

I wouldn't even doubt a planned pull after 1.5 or 2 periods

So in other words, go outside and enjoy the weather tonight

 

[Sweetnut]

And Gus gets the start.

Reavo in second line, that must be a first in his career. So we are looking at him getting a regular shift, say 13-16 minutes and maybe PP time. Should be fun

 

[Sad People]

I wish Rossi was on the first line and playing with someone pretty skilled in Nyquist

 

[Lapa]

Top 6 Reavo, hell yes

 

[NHL1674]

Honestly, I'm looking forward to Addison as a forward. Not sure why though.

You know they take the game seriously when they're resting Sam Steel.

I know he was sick but still.

13=16 minutes....plenty of time for 3-4 fights.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Faber has me interested in this one, like that they are getting him on different pairings to expose him to more of the regulars.

Another game where the score does not matter, only that we don’t take any more injuries to the regulars.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Gus would have to give up 11 goals on 11 shots to drop out of 2nd place in save %.
