[Dee Oh Cee]

Time to improve to 8-1-3 in the division and 3-0 in Dallas!

 

[57special]

I'm hoping for the best, but expecting another let down.

 

[rynryn]

cooke back in the lineup gives me a lot more confidence. even when we're losing. seriously--he makes the bottom six a lot more useful.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Plus we need him to talk S to Roussel.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

I have a feeling a win tonight will put a spark into this team and regain some confidence to make a mid-season push here.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Very true...plus we play SJS, CHI, NSH, @CHI in the next 8 days.

Edit: Oh and @PIT after that. Need to win ones like this.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Roussel - Eakin - Garbutt line going for the Stars. AKA the 'Intent to Injure' line.

 

[rynryn]

Benn and his elbows playing?

 

[gphr513]

Nice win last night, but it kinda becomes irrelevant if we lose tonight. Need to string a few together, especially against these teams in our conference.

Yup. 4 of the next 5 are in the division--and the odd one out is San Jose, who have a Wild Card spot right now. Every game is a big game for the next eight days.

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

Is Zucker back yet? What will the lines be when he does get back?

He's listed as questionable.

Russo said we'll know by like 5 when Yeo has media availability.

Big night in the NHL tonight.
Wild win + Winnipeg loss= within 3 points and still 2 games in hand. Would be as close to San Jose as well if they lose to St. Louis.

Lose tonight and Dallas jumps us and a Winnipeg win puts us back in panic mode.

 

[rynryn]

i'm not panicking no matter what.

Not really we are within 6 points of 5 teams and if you want to include St.Louis who i think comes back to the pack in the 2nd half (just a feeling) the 6 teams ahead of us are within 7 points and we have games in hand on most (yes you have to win them) and heading into tonight 2 of those teams will have played 4 more games than the Wild

you're in good company whilst i'll be in the corner drinking alone.

 

[gphr513]

I think, just in general, we need to start stringing wins together. We haven't had consecutive wins since Nov. 16/20

Kuemper starting.

 

[kfan22]

Kuemper starting.

Right Choice IMO

 

[El Nino22]

This is a big test for us. We've been better against Dallas as of late but they are a team that always gives us trouble and just straight up hard to play against. Hoping for a win. We need that top line clicking again tonight. Dallas is going to come out very physical. Hope we are up for the challenge.

 

[rynryn]

we need our bottom six clicking. we'll be fine if our top line can cancel out theirs.

 

[El Nino22]

Shutting down their top 6 is no small task though. Benn and Seguin are real real good.
