Absolute must win

 

[Erebor]

What is this Nashville lineup? AHL team + Saros?

 

[serp]

I would think Wedgewood starts this one

I would think Wedgewood starts this one

That would be much to Winnipeg's chagrin, though realistically the Preds can't afford to lose more than 1 or 2 more games in their last 7 and hope Winnipeg chokes hard with maybe 1 or max 2 wins in their last 5. They do play each other still though (and it's actually a game I will be at...). I don't think they are gonna make it but considering the lineup they have been using it was a grand effort.

Thomas Harley has been called up. I assume he'll be in tonight's game against Nashville.

PDB reading these forums? (Re Harley) or is there just some injury we don't know about?

Hanley had a rough game against the Avs. Maybe that was enough.

What is this Nashville lineup? AHL team + Saros?

Yes, but it turns out this version of the team is playing better.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Really impressed with how well Nashville is doing this season. Obviously Saro's and Josi are them keeping them alive, but there roster doesn't look like they should be this close to a playoff spot

Jake just played a back to back on the road and with just 1 day rest and travel i don't think in that state he's better than Wedgewood when Wedge is on his game

 

[Zapp]

I start wedgewood the next 3 games if im pep deboer. Oetter desperately needs rest

Tommy "Connor McDavid" Novak

 

[starsfan86]

Poor Nils. I hope he can become a regular next season. I’m excited about Harley though.

Of course part of the Harley conundrum with this roster is we're back to square one with Miro now to his offside to accommodate 3 other LHDs... after he just massively broke out finally being put on his strong side.

Miro will still have the same PP spot. This won't be a big deal.

Except McDonagh, Fabbro and Barrie too, and they're better than 4/6 of our defensemen.

Miro will still have the same PP spot. This won't be a big deal.

His even strength points alone this season would equal his career high in total points. Although the percentage of his total points this year has 44% coming from the PP which is an increase compared to last year.

What on earth does Suter keep doing to earn ice time increases

In this case, DeBoer has decided the Lindell-Hakanpaa pair is not to be touched, so with Harley needing to play the left side, the outcome here was unavoidable. Let's be optimistic and hope Harley shines and winds up alongside Miro.

 

[piqued]

Miro-Miller, for as extremely mediocre as Miller is, has been very effective this season. Miro is freed up to roam and do what he wants.

Even though Suter has played somewhat better as the year has gone on, his presence is still what messes up the pairs both in the here and now and in the future.

Miro-Miller
Lindell-Lundkvist
Harley-Hakanpaa

If we were serious...

Miro - Honka would be sick

 

[piqued]

Honka had a good season for Lulea. IT'S NOT TOO LATE

 

[ugrakarma]

Wedgie it's been a while.

 

[piqued]

Nashville feels like they've had a Smith on their roster their entire existence
