Once Rundblad and Stone start tallying up points, Morris is ready.Ha. Stone actually looked better last game I thought. While still looking a bit lost around the net at times, he was at least taking the body on some guys. Actually trying to make separation and claim his ground in the defensive end.

 

[Plub]

If Vrby his hurting enough to where someone can see him grimace, there is no way he is coming back soon. What happened to him?

 

[MIGs Dog]

What happened to him?

My guess would be a groin strain

 

[RafaNadal]

Vrby and Hanzal still gone. Thank god for Biznasty! Rolling on a three game point-streak.

Does anyone know what happened to Hanzal? This guy is made of glass.

Looks like this is going to be a decent crowd. Not much available on Stubhub, not much of a discount. Spring training probably.

 

[TheMurdocktor]

With the injuries to Hanzal and Vrby, this is how I would roll tonight with the forwards...

Sullivan-Vermette-Doan (best all-around chance to score)
Boedker-Lombardi-Korpikoski (DAT SPEED!)
Johnson-Gordon-Moss (simple grind line)
Torres-Chipchura-Bissonnette (they've been great recently)

And then defensively...

Morris-Yandle
OEL-Michalek
Klesla-Rundblad/Stone

 

[MIGs Dog]

Does anyone know what happened to Hanzal? This guy is made of glass.

History of back problems, and no apparent injury in last game played, therefore I'm going to say his back problems have resurfaced.

Sullivan-Vermette-Doan (best all-around chance to score)

And then defensively...

Morris-Yandle
OEL-Michalek
Klesla-Rundblad/Stone

Based on the last three games I'd say the Torres-Chipchura-Bissonnette line has the best chance to score. Tip has always said that he does not determine minutes, the players do, therefore...

I'm pretty sure it happened on a shot block, and I think it was a foot.

Thought it was Johnson out there on 4th, not Raffi. No biggie as long as it's our guys that are getting the goals.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

Wild lines for tonight:

Zach Parise-Mikko Koivu-Charlie Coyle
Jason Zucker-Matt Cullen-Devin Setoguchi
Pierre-Marc Bouchard-Mikael Granlund-Dany Heatley
Mike Rupp-Kyle Brodziak-Torrey Mitchell

Ryan Suter-Jonas Brodin
Justin Falk-Tom Gilbert
Clayton Stoner-Jared Spurgeon

Niklas Backstrom
Darcy Kuemper

Scratches: Zenon Konopka and Nate Prosser

Good luck to everyone.

 

[Howler Scores]

That was as awkward as it can be for a kid kaster

 

[Muppet]

Will only be able to watch the first period before work, so I'll kindly ask the fellas to put up a 5-0 lead so I can go to work fairly certain that we should win.

 

[Howler Scores]

Well that was easy

 

[Howler Scores]

2 minutes of time killing coming up

 

[Scottyb123]

Nice moves Yandle

 

[Howler Scores]

Coyotes are giving presser but 1 shot/1goal...yeah

 

[Boedker89]

Biz sucks at fighting lol

 

[Clown Baby*]

that was sad, come on Biz

 

[Muppet]

Biz sucks at fighting lol

Thank god he's a points scoring machine.

 

[Howler Scores]

Yeah he got rocked.

 

[XX]

Letting Heatley skate cleanly to the front of the net is a recipe for success.

 

[Howler Scores]

And the Coyotes are getting rocked. Game over.
