Bogosian hatty, Wild win 6-0

 

[keppel146]

Trade for show, win for dough? Or is the breadman going to work us?

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Wasn't expecting Fleury again, but he has been ok lately. This feels like a bit of a trap game, NYR going to be motivated after our last one with them. Hope the Wild D can hold up for one more game before Spurgeon’s return. Let the offense roll, Rangers still down some key players and their Goalie, play smart and we should get plenty of opportunities to take advantage.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Fine with going with Fleury as the 1A right now. He's been notably better.

 

[Wasted Talent]

Apparently both Igor and Quick are injured. Facing their backup's backup tonight.

So it's either 10 or 0 goals, no inbetween.

 

[Webster]

Line changes again? Coach didn't want to say much, said it's a secret. He did mention the 1st PP unit though, still five forwards + a Zucc-Boldy swap.

Apparently both Igor and Quick are injured. Facing their backup's backup tonight.

Yeah they actually called up two goalies.

 

[AKL]

+ a Zucc-Boldy swap.

Well that's certainly not what he said

 

[Digitalbooya]

Well that's certainly not what he said

So Boldy is still on the power play or did they drop Rossi for Boldy?

Based on experience, it’ll be a 40+ save shutout.

Reporter: Will the PP, the 1st unit, stick with 5 forwards for now?
Dean: Yeah, yep
Reporter: But you flipped, you had Zuccarello on for the Kaprizov goal, will he start there?
Dean: Yep, yeah
Reporter: So how you finished is how you'll start
Dean: Um... no, no it'll be a little different but Zuccy will...
Reporter: Will it be for Johansson?
Dean: Nope
Reporter: Should we just keep guessing?
Dean: Nope

He went on to say Faber won't play PP tonight but there is some thought there, but when Spurgeon comes back that spot will be for him, but in the future there may be a spot on the PP for Faber

So per usual, we get the half-truth from Webster with the trolling mixed in there at the end. Zuccarello will be on the top PP, but the rest is a secret, there's no confirmation that it's for Boldy. My personal guess is probably dropping Rossi because I think they like Ek too much net front, though you really don't necessarily need that guy there the way Ek is, could be fun to try a PP with 5 skill guys who can all move and pass well.

Interesting. So if I connect the dots, Boldy (likely) in the bumper spot? I don’t hate that.

 

[NHL1674]

This game scares me. But then again, every game scares me.

Try not to get blown out, m'kay?

 

[Webster]

The only thing I noticed is that Zucc replaced Boldy on the 1st PP unit against NYI. Weird if Dean removes another guy this time, but who knows.

 

[Circulartheory]

Just to put some positive vibes out there - despite our terrible start, none of those losses came from Division rivals and only one came from a Western conference team.

If we were going to suck, that was the best possible timing to do so and get our s*** figured out.

 

[57special]

The Rangers GDT is all over the place. Their heads are clearly not in the game. Easy Dub for us.

 

[NHL1674]

No matter what, at least we aren't the Oilers.

 

[AKL]

Boldy and Rossi are gonna be better friends than Kaprizov and Zuccarello I bet

 

[Circulartheory]

I literally just logged on and they score ... perhaps I need to stay away ...

 

[melinko]

Linesman had ages to get out of the way of our d-man trying to break out.

Causes turnover and now a goal against.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

That icing call which Duhaime clearly beat out was one of the few times I will say that ref was incompetent. Wasn't even tracking the players when he made the call, just the puck.

 

[Sad People]

Kirill single handily trying to get us back into the game.

 

[Sweetnut]

Unfortunate start for Mermaid

 

[Sad People]

Faber!

Someone taught Lapanta how to say Lafreniere before this game
