[Back in Black]

Guessing some of you won't get this game since its on SportsNet1

Why it's not on CBC regionally is beyond me, but who am I.

Surely, we got this one......

Karlsson.

That is all.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

I'd like to get Formenton into this game then send him back to junior.

Looks like you'll get your wish

 

[Micklebot]

Oduya not practicing today, but EK is.

 

[SixthSens]

Practice lines today:

Smith-Turris-Dzingel
Ryan-Brassard-Stone
Pyatt-Pageau-Hoffman
Formenton-Thompson-Burrows

At least Pageau is back at C. Poor Formenton
No Oduya on the ice.

I think its an advantage for Formenton when trying to break in to have the game to be able to play there

 

[Deku]

I like those lines, although I wish Turris was playing with better wingers. You have to keep the 2nd line together after last night though.

I think he'll be fine with Thompson and Burrows. Nobodies going to set him up, but he's the kind of player that creates chances on the counterattack via his skating. He's not reliant on his linemates in that regard.

 

[Micklebot]

I think we might see Formenton get the odd shift with Turris if he impresses early on. Formenton-Turris-Dzingel would be a crazy fast line.

My hope if Formenton shows he's capable, (though as you'll see, it creates some odd hand combinations; do we only have 2 Right handed wingers?)

Formenton(L)-Turris(R)-Dzingel(L)
Ryan(R)-Brassard(L)-Stone(R)
Smith(L)-Pageau(R)-Hoffman(L)
Pyatt(L)-Thompson(R)-Burrows(L)

Clearly we're driving down his value on purpose.

"Kyle, you only scored 30 points this year."

"But you played me with Boro and Pyatt on the wings."

"A 1st line centre creates offence. If you want 1st line centre dollars, I wanna see 1st line centre production."

 

[OmniSens]

With game 1 in the books, we turn the page onto game 2. Will the Captain be making his debut?

Oduya is DTD, as is Karlsson. All signs are pointing to both missing? Karlsson was still supporting the no contact jersey.

 

[NyQuil]

OmniSens, going from starting GDTs to starting Pre-Game Talks is like sending yourself down to the AHL.

RETIRED GDT maker. I busted.

 

[Micklebot]

Urmm... sorry to say Omni, but a pre-game talk was already made for this game. You (and your thread) are getting benched for this game.

 

[OmniSens]

I blame the new software!

My bad, I had the page up for a while just never hit "post". I'll accept the bench. Better than the press box

Completely missed the original thread

 

[Back in Black]

Speaking of, did we lose our saved pictures in our profile page????

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Omni... you go ahead and create as many PGTs as you want. Besides you had a different subtitle

 

[Burrowsaurus]

For mention with Thompson and burrows. Baby food.

I have no idea where to look for my signature

Coach said he expects Formenton to play 5v5 and push the opposition back with his speed. I actually think the trio could be a good forchecking line.

If he impresses, maybe he can get some shifts with Turris and Dzingel.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Wings are super, super mediocre. This has to be an easy two points in the bag. Just don't make unforced errors and get Anderson some hot dogs between periods. We 93% got this.

no such thing as easy two points

"A 1st line centre creates offence. If you want 1st line centre dollars, I wanna see 1st line centre production."

To be fair, John Tavares creates offense no matter who in on his line.
