Ridiculous, it's been a while.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

I wonder who will sit if Kulikov is ready.

Surprisingly, Olsen has played really well. I thought he'd come in and suck but he's looked good.

Kampfer has been played solid too. I guess they'd scratch him if they had to pick and leave Olsen in.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Wouldn't be surprised if Mitchell gets a maintenance day too, but Olsen should be the odd man out.

 

[adam graves]

I'd sit Mitchell he's no kid. At least I'd ask ( which likely gets a no)

Going to need 3 goals tonight help montoya a little I'd think

 

[austropanther]

Biggest worry imo is that they get the energy going. One period was luckily enough against Nashville, I'm not sure it will also hold against the Blue Jackets

 

[SoupyFIN]

Too bad if Hannikainen is scratched, was looking forward to see him play.

 

[Gentle Man]

Easy win

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Easy win

It's disgusting how easy it is

 

[I am not exposed]

It's disgusting how easy it is

Just hand us the cup now.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Just hand us the cup now.

Here u go

 

[Gentle Man]

It's disgusting how easy it is

I'm expecting the refs to be patched soon to be honest. Need to even it up

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Here u go

Great job with the cup lol

 

[GrumpyKelly]

I'm expecting the refs to be patched soon to be honest. Need to even it up

I agree something has to be done, the winning has to stop.

 

[FlaPanthers11]

It's disgusting how easy it is

Right?

Can't remember when we turned into a Golden State/72 Dolphins hybird.

 

[Lundell4Prez]

Jenner seems to always dominate us

 

[EdwardTK]

Too bad if Hannikainen is scratched, was looking forward to see him play.

Hännikäinen is injured.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Last year's 4th line combined for ~17 pts.

Howden-Dmac-Brickley 16 pts so far.

That line shouldnt be messed with they are fun to watch.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Hännikäinen is injured.

Knew I should've read that part more carefully.

 

[Sstroh84]

Knew I should've read that part more carefully.

Hännikäinen hurt his shoulder in his first NHL game. He is out 2-3 months. he was performing well at Lake Erie so I am disappointed for him.

 

[Panthers Rock]

Maybe we'll be lucky enough to see this Torts tonight

 

[JP Mick]

Can't win five in a row.

 

[I am not exposed]

I'll be happy with a point!

 

[Panteras]

Can't win five in a row.

I'd be more worried if their back up was starting so I got hope
