[Roshi]

Trying to bump a goal for Burakovsky to get ’max value’ out of Dallas.

 

[BallardEra]

Bruins, Pens, BJs, Habs all lost last night.

Just win.

 

[maacoshark]

Not sure about those top 2 lines.

 

[Marshall]

On paper, this is a good "get-right" game. I'm less concerned about the offense than the defense, as I think the offense has been having pretty miserable puck-luck lately. Batten down the back, and I think things will improve.

 

[DrewGl]

Day game on national TV. Don't feel good about this one.

 

[tenken00]

The Blackhawks have been downright putrid lately. If we cant even compete... then I dont even know..

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

The top line is too slow and the 4th line needs more Jaskin but I am excited to see the second and third lines.

 

[Bladerunner]

My first thought too when I saw the lines... I named it the 30 plus line.

Except 30+ isn't that every player is/should be at least a 30G scorer

 

[DrewGl]

Can Vrana play right wing? Always thought he and Ovi looked like they had some chemistry when they were on the ice together.

Not sure about those top 2 lines.

When everyone is playing like crap, the line combos aren't as important a just sending the message that ice time had to be earned even for guys making $7M. TR can't demote Kuzy for coasting without sticking someone lesser up top.

I'm more interested to see how those new D pairs work.

Yeah, plus Vrana has earned some some time on the top line. Try him 1RW. Why not.

[Silky mitts]

I don’t even care if they win or lose I just want Kuzy to make Bura look like a beast on national tv

I know but in Chicago its 11:30. Earliest game i ever seen

 

[hockeykicker]

okay this is getting weirder, looks like dsp is now on the ovie line

 

[ovikovy817]

Please, just win

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

DSP has been the worst forward on the team by a wide margin, I think. Baffling how he continues to get a sweater. Put Stephenson in his spot or put Dowd at C and Boyd at 4RW.

 

[hockeykicker]

dsp ovie and backstrom is now a line. what happened?

 

[twabby]

They’re starting DSP because of the racist incident in Chicago last year, per Vogel.
