haha, it's slang for getting shot and in Ricky's case killed.Wetted?
I hope both Byron a Diaz are able to go vs Winnipeg along with Bennett. In that scenario I would give Boys in the Hud a rest plus wideman and Russel and go with a lineup of:
Raymond,Backlund,Colborne
Bennett,Stajan,Jones
Ferland,Granlund,Jooris
Bollig,Shore,Byron
Brodie,Engelland
Schlemko,Potter
Wotherspoon,Diaz
Sit Hiller also and go with Ortio
I'd give Russell the night off. He's one bad shot block away from a complete disaster for our season.
I'd also give Hudler a night off, he took some major punishment last game.
Throw in Joni so that Hiller can be completely ready for the Nucks.
Rest Hudler, Russell and Hiller
Bennett - Monahan - Gaudreau
Ferland - Stajan - Jones
Raymond - Backlund - Colborne
Bollig - Grandlund - Jooris
Engelland - Brodie
Wotherspoon - Wideman
Schlemko - Potter
Ortio
If Byron is good to go next game, we could potentially see the whole 1st line be rested, but I don't see that happening.
My lineup would be:
In: Shore, Bennett, Wotherspoon, Ortio
Out: Hudler, Backlund, Russell, Hiller
Gaudreau - Monahan - Colborne
Raymond - Stajan - Jones
Ferland - Granlund - Jooris
Bollig - Bennett - Shore
Brodie - Wideman
Schlemko - Engelland
Wotherspoon - Potter
Ortio
Why not give Bennett decent playing time? He's a high end prospect, with the game not meaning as much*, there's no pressure for him to preform. Give him top 6 minutes and see what he does.
*I don't see tomorrow as very important at all even if we're playing for home ice. It's out of our hands anyways. Playing a loose, fun game against Winnipeg who's likely resting a lot of their roster too will probably be enough of a chance to win as icing the best lineup we can. Then we're praying for another miracle out of the Oilers again... ugh

You can easily move Bennett up the roster if need be . Just don't want to overwhelm him. Then again, there doesn't appear to be anything on the line for this game.

Calgary has the chance to grab home ice advantage and you don't think there's anything on the line?
Every bit helps...
