Aren't Archibald and Corrado supposed to be in tonight for Hagelin and Trotman?

 

[PensPlz]

Really miss Schultz.

Because they stayed on the ice longer? Yeah, IDK. Game day skates are almost always optional, so I used the last posted lines for the forwards. Last practice Letang was paired with Maatta, so it's all just a stab in the dark at this point.

I was just going by what Mackey tweeted earlier today.

Good for Sully for benching Trotman but I disagree with sitting Hags over some of the schmucks in this lineup.

 

[dr robbie]

My faith is still waivering on those bottom lines. I really miss Bones, Cullen, and even Kunitz. Hope the new guys prove me wrong though.

Right, no lines because several guys took the option. He just reported who was off the ice first. Hard to tell what's what from an optional skate, yeah?

I heard on The Fan driving around earlier that Hagelin was benched for Archibald tonight, and that means Hagelin could be on his way out.

Take that how you will.

Interesting. At least we will infuse some energy into the lineup.

They then played a Sullivan clip and he said he and the coaches have to look at issues affecting the team and sometimes it necessitates changing the lineup.

So I'm guessing what they said was accurate, but we shall see.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Archibald has to be the nicest person in the world, because I'd be asking to be moved if I were him, sitting for this long, not even 1 freaking game and the team isn't playing it's best hockey and could use an injection of some more speed into the line-up and energy.

In any case, I have a bad feeling about this game, but I am hoping for the best.

Uh...wait a second, if that's true then awesome.

But it also goes against JR's recent comments about not making a move just yet. Unless someone asked specifically about Hagelin, this is just them sitting Hagelin to play him tomorrow, hoping it lights a fire under his ass.

Baseball is taking over the TV tonight but I'll have the game on the laptop.

 

[66-30-33]

f*** yeah Archi is playing! FINALLY! Team needed more speed.

 

[wheelz87]

We need energy.. so take out Hags... wtf.

PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTHS. Take out one of the slow guys FFS.

 

[PensandCaps]

**** yeah Archi is playing! FINALLY! Team needed more speed.

But you lose Hagelin....really a lateral move. The right move would be to bench Reaves and put in Archibald. Not to bench Hags.

 

[Shrimper]

Not watching tonight, lucky me?

The tweet said Sheahan and Hags also out there with Archibald. We still keep Hags for tonight.

edit- Oh official tweet says no Hags...wtf?

Who's out then?

 

[66-30-33]

I edited.

Looks like Hags...should be Kuhn.

 

[Andy99]

I'll be interested to see the defensive pairs work. Dumo-Ruh could be an adventure. Hopefully Maatta gets Letang's head out of his ***.

They took out the forward struggling the most, insane right?

The nerve of this team.

Why should it be Kuhnhackl? Just curious, if you say because he's slow, you're wrong. If you say because he's been worse than Hagelin, you're wrong. If you're saying he isn't playing well, guess what?

You'd be wrong again.
