Pre-Game Talk: West Coast Road trip

[Nikishin Go Boom]

4 games of Canes after dark. 1 Saturday matinee in LA, and ending in the LoVeLy city of Philadelphia.

predictions for the road trip? I say 3-3 is the worst case, 4-2 is most likely, 5-1 is very likely, and 6-0 is definitely possible. I’ll go with 4-2 but my heart wants to say 5-1.

One of these (probably when im too old to do it), I would like to have the time and money to follow the Canes around one of these western swings.

We get Nino and Raanta back. I am assuming Necas travels and plays when feeling better. I wonder if Pesce travels.

6-0 anything less we riot

We'll riot anyway this way we just riot harder!

So you’re saying “cum on feel the noize”?

5-1 road trip ron hainsey loses all 6 games

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Both the Ducks (7-1-2 in their last 10) and the Kings (7-2-1 in their last 10) will be tough matches.

Honestly, with it being West Coast games against difficult opponents, I wouldn't be surprised if we finished the trip with a losing record. It's not like we've been dominating games lately.

Only if you want to be stoned by your girl..

I am looking forward to the Kraken game if only to see what, if any, John & Tripp antics occur. Will hold off happy hours drinking until late and hoping I can nap for an evening hour or so before hand.

It's certainly looking like a rougher trip than before the year started. Now, on the one hand, I still think we are better than many of these teams. On the other western swings are hard. I kinda feel we'll have a weird 3-1-2 trip or some such. If we can slowly get a couple of guys back in and not have much trouble incorporating them back in, it could be better.

These trips are always great for team bonding. A Jarvis decision may occur as well during this period.

Hopefully, along with hockey, guys will get a chance to play some golf in Vegas and Cali.

Go Canes!!!!

With Nino coming back, we’ll see where Jarvis slots in the lineup.

i’d like to see:
SAT
Nino-Tro-Jarvis
Kotkaniemi-Staal-Fast
Marty-Stepan-Lorentz

Pesce's slot

I bought extra Mt Dew Kickstarts during this week’s grocery trip just for the occasion.

Idk. Anaheim has the easiest schedule so far. Their last 10 have been Seattle, Arz x2, NJD x 2, Mon x 2, STL and Van x 2.

SJS, not really sure how to feel about them. Their schedule hasn’t been easy and their results haven’t been great.

LA is middle of the road schedule wise and results have been good.

Vegas has a ton of injuries. I believe Martinez will be out cuz he caught a skate and had to have 50 stitches in his head. Stone did come back. Roy is their 1C.

seattle is well a product of Francis playing it conservatively.

We won't do it quietly

 

[Lempo]

We won't do it quietly

Unless we have trained ourselves to do it quietly. If we've been in places where being full-throated would be highly inappropriate.

Go Canes!!!!

Dundon is so cheap, he is going to just "drop him off" on the way up to Seattle to save on airfare.

 

[HisIceness]

Win all the games thank you and God bless

I'd put Nino back with Staal and Fast, those 3 were an absolute force together and I'd like to keep it that way when fully healthy.

Also, where's the good Marty???

I know you guys had decided to hand off the GDT choice to @Gocanes0506 but with his blessing I am going to step in and do a one off for tomorrow's game because I need to. I have not done one before but I hope you'll understand once it's done.

Yes you are up and you stay in the rotation with @MrazeksVengeance until you lose. Good luck. We are all counting on you

Ah, the second verse of every national anthem ever.

 

[Incubajerks]

I am off to Berlin in a few days, I will probably miss the trip to the west, which would have happened even under normal conditions given the inhuman time zone.
