Crazy how the Yotes have only 57 points. They have gained 34 of their points since the year has changed. That 1st half is phenomenally bad.

they were plain awful for a good while. they have figured it out of sorts. shouldn't be an easy 2 points by any means.

and i believe this game would be considered an actual "trap game".

It is.

They got some newer faces with the trades and I think it probably just changed the atmosphere in the locker room. Definitely not going to be easy.

Yotes officially eliminated from playoffs. We can only hope they come out a little less motivated.

they were pretty much eliminated the first week of december.

 

[PerdFan]

I hope the guys come out ready to play. I hate playing teams that have nothing to lose this time of year. I didn't feel good about the NJD game and I don't feel good about this one. Here's to hoping my feeling is just gas or something.

 

[LCPreds]

Really need this one tonight because turning around and playing in Colorado on Friday night is going to be like Winnipeg turning around and playing in Nashville a couple of nights ago.

 

[FossilFndr]

Best way to stop that trap game is to score 3 goals in the first 10 minutes.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

We really need these two points. The game tomorrow in Colorado makes me really nervous.

yep colorado will be tough at home on the 2nd of a back to back.

When is the last time we won in Arizona? Seems like we lose this game more often than not...along with the yearly afternoon loss @ Carolina.

Unless I missed something, March 9, 2015.

They are coming off a back to back as well. Shouldn't be a huge factor.

saros tonight, rinne tomorrow? my guess

i would take rinne tonight if it was me! saros against the avs.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

Nah, go with Saros tonight. Keep your best goalie for when your team is tired.

Think Winnipeg learned that one the hard way.

i would go with rinne tonight to go for the "easier" 2 points and take a gamble with saros who has played well all year.

 

[Legionnaire11]

If we were a borderline playoff team, I might consider Rinne tonight to maximize our advantage in the "easier" game. But we're a team which should expect to win every night regardless if circumstances. So Saros tonight and Rinne tomorrow, go for four points.

 

[Gnashville]

At Arizona then Colorado then to Buffalo?? Home for the Leafs then at Minnesota and Winnipeg.

5 road games in 4 Time zones (or whatever Arizona has) plus a home game so getting through this stretch with a lead in the division is going to be tough.

Winnipeg only leaves Canada one more time at Chicago. The other road games are @Toronto @ottawa and @montreal.

 

[Drake744]

@Toronto @ottawa and @montreal.

That guy whose user name is Ottawa, with whoever that girl playing the guitar is for has avatar, will be getting a very confusing notification about being mentioned in the Preds GDT.

For what it's worth (nothing), I start Rinne tonight and roll with Saros tomorrow. They can both beat either team so I don't really think it matters.

I would think from a rest standpoint wouldn't it be better for Rinne to play tonight, off tomorrow and then back for Buffalo. That's the route I'd go I think.

today's morning skate;

Scott Hartnell - Ryan Johansen - Viktor Arvidsson
Kevin Fiala - Kyle Turris - Craig Smith
Filip Forsberg - Nick Bonino - Ryan Hartman
Miikka Salomaki - Colton Sissons - Austin Watson
Defense
Roman Josi - Anthony Bitetto
Mattias Ekholm - Ryan Ellis
Alexei Emelin - P.K. Subban

no idea why we would juggle d-pairings this much.

Do we know if Calle even made the trip?

He is out for the regular season.
