Gaudreau's got LA's number anyways. He'll carry the offence enough.
Grit though... we're hooped. Bollig back in I suppose?
Would have been a good game for Wolf to step in for.

Bollig can't do what Bouma does, you can't replace that. Byron is about the only guy who plays that way.
Wills commented today how tough Bouma is, he never misses a shift. If he couldn't come back in that game, you have to be concerned about this.
Bouma isn't an elite player, but saying he is a big part of this team is a massive understatement. What he does for us cannot be fully measured, I REALLY hope he is okay!

I agree, he bring the closest thing to Bouma's energy and tenacity we have. But he doesn't stand a chance against the Regehrs, Browns and Kings if they try to wear us down physically.
But since Bouma wouldn't stop them on his own anyways, you might as well bring in the speed and talent guy.
Wait... that's Bennett!

Whether Bollig, Bennett or Byron go in for Bouma (say that 3 times fast) I think Ferland should stay on his line
Ferland - Stajan/Backlund - Jones
Ferland looked pretty good there
Then I'd have Bollig on the 4th line
Gaudreau - Monahan - Hudler
Ferland - Backlund - Jones
Raymond - Stajan - Colborne
Bollig - Granlund - Jooris
Roll lines 2,3 & 4 pretty evenly.

I agree with this. In fact I wouldn't mind it if Stajan stayed with Jones and Ferland either. Then we could roll 2a and 2b lines (rather than 2 and 3). Raymond-Backlund-Colborne would ideally create some offensive chances while Ferland-Stajan-Jones can do the same but while being a crash-and-bang line.

I almost like keeping Ferland and Granlund together. They've both got lots of energy and tons of chemistry.

What about Shore? Against a tough Kings team is there a way both Bollig and Shore could come in?

I would love to dress both Bollig and Shore, except that would require Raymond to be scratched. Hartley I guess wants Mason playing.
I don't like Raymond much but there's no doubt you need as much NHL talent in the lineup as possible against the Kings.

Stoke me a clipper.
Blocked a shot with his upper body. Left the game in obvious pain and didn't return.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least to see him play with a flak jacket tomorrow.

No one can replace Bouma.
I don't think Byron is healthy, he played one game (and played pretty well) and vanished from the line-up again. Me thinks he wasn't as ready to go as was expected.
If Bollig draws in it will be because he has played well against the Kings this year and is a tough SOB and the Kings will be playing a rough game. ALso Bollig will not draw into Bouma's spot, I assume Ferland would move up and Bollig would replace Ferland on the 4th line.

Setting up the play?
The reason I thought he might be healthy is that he was back skating again in the Edmonton morning skate, then was out early for practice the day after, then was in the morning skate again yesterday.
