Me too, Wednesday games are inconvenient.

 

[X66]

Islanders will be coming off a back to back, hope we pounce on them early.

I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping that if Martin is taking reps it's to bump Moore out of the lineup once and for all . Martin, Komi, Kappy works for me till Sosh is ready .

On the waiver note it looks like Borgy was down to 30 games left on Jan 8 so it might not be a bad idea to bury him for a couple of months to buy us some time next year .

dermott will most likely be sent down. he was the last one called up + babs is the coach

 

[Nizdizzle]

Are word if Rielly and Zaitsev are both expected back in the lineup tomorrow? Can't wait to have the d-core back to injury free.

[Morgs]

Hyman - Matthews - Nylander
Marleau - Kadri - Marner
JVR - Bozak - Kapanen
Komarov - Moore - Brown

Rielly - Hainsey
Gardiner - Carrick
Dermott - Zaitsev

One 1st pairing, and two 2nd pairings. I wanna see if Dermott can carry Zaitsev like only Marincin has done.

 

[Liminality]

Ayyyy

 

[Warden of the North]

Rejoice!

John Tavares will be on 1 of 2 teams next year either his own team NYI or the Leafs.

This is a good game for JT to determine who gives him the best chance at a Cup and this is a good audition.

 

[Cor]

Polak and Martin out, and Komarov on the 4th line? Marner still with Kadri.

Babcock for Jack Adams

 

[SprDaVE]

won't get in the lineup instead of martin

*cough*

I can't hear you over all this coughing.

Maybe after you're done, you can crawl back and admit something...

 

[thewave]

Amazing they aren't going to play the meatheads for once.

You think a regular season game in January is going to have an impact on his retirement-contract decision, or management's decision to offer him said contract? Matthews talking to him over the weekend is probably more likely to change his mind.

Babcock for Jack Adams

i wonder if he wants to see what he can do w/last change.
Martin is in danger of being flushed out. (honestly, i would trade him right back to NYI. his family/life is there and he worked so well with Czekias + Clutterbuck)

 

[rent free]

if you say so

Babcock for Jack Adams

Some fans don't understand that Babs knows what he is doing because they want instant gratification. To me he can be the difference in a 7 game series.
