[NSH615]

Lines are a guess based on practice yesterday reported by a NSH Hockey Now writer and other reports this week. If new lines are reported at morning skate, they will be updated.

Parsinnen out is a bummer but I think those lines are pretty intriguing.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

WTF is that graphic! Nice GDT NSH615!

Past that, I am not any fan of scratching Parssinen. But whatever, it is not going to hurt anything. Just he's a really good player, so I don't see the point in it, no matter how many people want to wax all coachly and say he can study video or get a nice perspective on the game from the PB or whatever. He's one of our best forwards, and you shouldn't really scratch him any more than Forsberg or O'Reilly at this point.

 

[herzausstein]

Parssinen out is a bummer for sure but that lineup is definitely interesting. Things will get more complicated once glass is ready to come back too.

 

[Armourboy]

I don't mind it. With the number of guys we need to take a look at it could just be they are kind of resting guys or playing it safe so they don't hit the wall as hard as a lot of these younger guys can at times.

We all knew it was essentially a developmental year while not trying to completely stink.

Tomasino needs to show some jump and at least get the puck on net ... he can't have another 3+ games without a SOG. It will be interesting to see how Foudy fits in and performs.

Then there is the birthday boy ... longtime fan favorite COLE SMITH.

Only good thing about fall is hockey and falling leafs

Cooler temps and lower humidity frankly is better than either of those and I love me some hockey

As a person who has MS, yup!

Joke franchise continues to make head scratching personnel decisions

Forsberg-Novak-Parsinnen
Fagemo-ROR-Nqyuist
Tomasino-Sissons-Evangelista
Sherwood-Foudy-Smith

I don't expect anything from 26 nowadays. Not sure what's going on with him. Also spotted a 36 sweater being worn after the loss Tuesday night. They're out there.

Looking at some ST's stats for them vs us:

PP% rank: (7) 33.3% vs (13) 20.7%
PK% rank: (18) 77.3% vs (31) 68.2%

If possible, lets have a clean game boys. Not mad at basically a 21% PP rate though.

 

[hockey diva]

Yeah, we do not need a parade to the penalty box against Matthews and co.

I will be sporting my throwback habs jersey as my “costume” this evening.

Your musical selection for today…

Now for the boys to figure out how to convert against decent to good PKs.

 

[Armourboy]

Figures I have a night where I can just sit back and watch the game and its on flippin NHL Network.

 

[NSH615]

 

[PredsV82]

Looks like Foudy is a Center? So presumably a center had to sit to give him a look, and you obviously aren't gonna scratch ROR, and Sissons and Novak ar both playing really well, so 75 was just odd man out tonight

In the end that was just speculation from a practice where Parssinen was the odd man out. Looks like Fagemo is the odd man out with McCarron.

Ugh, where I'm at tonight no NHL Network available. Figures.

I won’t be here for the whole thing. Danny Elfman is doing a live performance of Nightmare Before Christmas at the Hollywood Bowl tonight

 

[LCPreds]

Two things on the jerseys:

1) Supposed to be a gold game so of course the Preds are rocking Whites

2) These Toronto jerseys look pretty awesome in arena. How do they hold up on tv?

They look good on TV

Sweet. A little too far from me to tell for sure. I love black jerseys. Maybe one of these days they can get one in the official rotation.

Yarny still cant find the net from 10yds away

Kind of ironic for Mason to comment on the Leafs jersey giving him Tampa Bay vibes lol
