BobCopBadCop
McEllinnehyyeyh

Injured: Gaborik, Calvert, Bass (IR). Horton skating, unlikely to return today.
Calvert is a game-time decision.

Bears (to psych up Bryzgalov)

Who to watch?:
Edmonton: Eberle cued the comeback off last night, no word on if he plans to try to do the same today. Dubnyk quietly put together a good performance against the Lames, and everyone knows he needs a couple of those to build off of, unless he isn't the one to start... Bryzgalov comes up from the "A".

Columbus: The Wiz on the backend has been putting together quite a remarkable season, leading the team with 16 points. American Olympic Team consideration?... Nick Foligno is on a three game point streak (2 G, 1A)

Team Comparison:
Edmonton: Building off the Columbus of the 2000's model, is attempting to acquire Ekblad. We are the tank of tanks.
Columbus: Moved over to the Eastern Conference, their 17 points would be enough for 2nd last in the West, but 3 points back of 8th in the ultra-competitive Eastern Conference. Vezina trophy winner Bobrovsky looks to propel the BJs into, at the very least, a playoff spot.

Foligno and Jenner both played in Ottawa on Sunday. I think Calvert is still iffy for playing (surgery for abdominal tear about a week into the season). They do think he'll play on this road trip, it is just a matter of when.

Man, Gagner can't catch a break this season.

Broken jaw...bear attack...

Sorry ahead of time for this most minimal GDT. Didn't see anything, so might as well take charge.

Welp, going to the game tonight. I don't think I've seen a win in a long time....did we beat Washington a couple of years ago in a super-boring 2-1 win? That would be the last time I've seen a win at Rexall.

Watching the SJ game I turned my Hall jersey inside out and 2 minutes later the home shutout streak was broken...so I guess I should wear the Hall jersey inside out today.

Ah Nick Schultz-Potter.

 

[Del Preston]

Would rather see Larsen in than Potter. And no Arco again. =\

 

[joestevens29]

Larsen didn't practice yesterday, not sure if he is hurt or what.

 

[RebuildTheRebuild]

Larsen didn't practice yesterday, not sure if he is hurt or what.

Justin Schultz sounds like he will play so maybe he is going to get sent down?

 

[McRobbiezyg]

get excited guys! this is game 2 of our 10 game winning streak!

 

[Mav3rick07]

C'mon Dubey, two solid performances in a row !! Glad to see Dubnyk got the start, he definitely earned it.

We need to get on a winning streak here, otherwise we'll be mathematically eliminated soon.

 

[Skm]

What no Arco?

Concerning the lines above, put Savard in for Prout (back spasms).

As CBJ fans, we aren't sure whether the team has turned the corner or not. They have been very streaky this season. But, Foligno, Jenner, and Calvert have been missing from the top 9, so that may have had something to do with it.

This is a winnable game to grab for the Oil. DD has been smoking hot as of late but I don't agree with Arco not dressing. Need a better jump out of the gate.

[Vagabond]

Keeping Acro out of the lineup is just pure idiotic!

 

[488fitter]

As far as I'm concerned, it should be...

Hall - Nuge - Ebs
Perron - Arco - Yak
Gagner - Gordon - Hemsky
Smyth/Joensuu - Smyth/Acton - Smyth/Gazdic

Rotating the 4th line out of the PB.

Not sending a good message to the team leaving Arco out of the lineup again.

I like the first couple of lines, but I'd swap Gagner and Perron. I do like Gagner working with Yak, but that's just me.

Thats exactly how I'd like to see the line combos as well.

I'm throwing my support behind creative GDTs.

Just my $0.02

 

[McSaviour]

^ He's just cranky because the amount of snow is unbearable

 

[488fitter]

^ That's bearly an excuse.

 

[Dorian2]

It was fairly obvious when reading it. Before blasting guys for their threads, maybe volunteer to help out yourself.

no doubt.

I was getting my balls broken for my Clown thread not having the Date and time of the game in the title of the thread.

Paw-rdon me, it's like 19 celsius here.

Hopefully I can stay up for this game, but I doubt it. I bought GCL this year and have watched only a handful of games because the Oil are so awful.

No arco joke
