Previous GDT comments:

Just like the Boston game, 2 points out of a playoff spot, held by the team we are playing. Sorry boys (ladies) but, history dictates an L tonight.

After a huge win, I expect us to drop the ball against a lower opponent. It would be so Panthers.

Can't beat this team even if Karlsson was playing on one leg.

When it matters the most, this team folds faster than a pitched tent during monsoon season.

Montreal just acquired a back-up goalie that pwns us. We get pwned by back ups all the time. The pwning will continue.

The most beatable Rangers team in recent memory, Hank looking like Auld, coupled with our win streak. Panthers with the L.

The Wild are 12-4-1 against us since their inception. I see a lucky number 13 coming this evening.

The Panthers bring their franchise-record nine-game winning streak to Buffalo which has lost four in a row. Both streaks come to an end, tonight.

Last time these two met up, Jagr lost some teeth. I expect the Panthers to lose a lot more than teeth tonight.


Two of the top drafting teams in recent memory, if we're counting lotto picks. One team drafts well and the other can't seem to draft defense. But every once-in-awhile, against all odds, a miracle happens. I'm betting all 1.3 billion on it. Oilers with the W.

/end

The Alien will show his worth when he dismantles Android 16 and his former hosts. Better call Ripley.

 

[IM Clutcm]

Easy win, easy hatter.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

I'll probably only catch the first period unfortunately. Hope we can keep the streak going.

Everyone keeps wondering when the team will regress and start losing again, but honestly I think we already have regressed over the past 4 games. Our goaltending and D has kept us afloat recently. If Lou has a bad game, then hopefully the offense shows up to bail him out

 

[Chaos2k7]

Barky and Hubs, generally play the Nucks well...

 

[Ekblast]

Is Ekblad okay or not? Have we heard anything on his condition? I know he came back out but he was "woozy" getting off the ice. He even stumbled trying to get up and that, is not good.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Is Ekblad okay or not? Have we heard anything on his condition? I know he came back out but he was "woozy" getting off the ice. He even stumbled trying to get up and that, is not good.

I'm wondering this too, same with Gudbranson. After the Hall hit he just looked off. He was skating slower, not reacting as quickly, etc.

Hopefully they're both ok and ready to go tonight.

 

[PanthersHockey1]

In b4 Markie 180 save shutout.

We dont't play at all and then we play back-to-back. Weird schedule.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Hopefully last night didn't completely drain them.

 

[Vilam]

Markstrom owes us this one. Going to be an especially tough game to win after last night.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Hopefully last night didn't completely drain them.

I hope it gives the team an extra jump. It was a wake up call for sure. They haven't played well for the last 4 games... I guess the streak is starting to take its toll.

Vancouver is also fighting for a playoff spot and probably come out the same way as Edmonton. Looking for a physical game again. Glad to have Thorty in this time!

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Oh and the poll choices are the same

 

[Beezeral]

Hopefully last night didn't completely drain them.

gut feeling that it did. 2nd night of a b2b after a tough physical game is a lot to overcome. Tonight will be the night imo

Ekblad look shake up at the end of the video when he tries to get up.... struggling to get up..... don't like the look of that hit

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

No lineup changes announced yet but I wouldn't be surprised if Kampfer is in for one of Gudbranson or Ekblad.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

 

[Gentle Man]

I think last night was a wake-up.

team really bonded together after all the drama. They will get up for Luongo tonight.

Game against the Flames and The Lightning are high danger though, team might be looking forward to Monday......

Markstrom will do what he always does on every shot, drops on his knees. He relies on blocking the shots with his size, that's pretty much it. Just have to get the shots over his pads.

 

[I am not exposed]

Going to this game, and I'm a tad nervous!

So yet another easy and disgusting win?

 

[GrumpyKelly]

So yet another easy and disgusting win?

Unfortunately, yes

 

[Lundell4Prez]

Zzzzz wake me up when we're in Calgar14y

 

[BeezKnees]

Is Markstrom really starting?
