I'm pretty sure Bryz is starting, and that Lindholm is out.

 

[Prominence Problem]

I'm pretty sure Bryz is starting, and that Lindholm is out.

They also called up prized prospect John Gibson tonight, so he may start instead.

Was just coming back here to post this, he's probably starting, they'd have called up Labarbera if Bryz was starting.

 

[SoupyFIN]

I tried asking about this in the last GDT, there was something that Goldie or Potvin said about someone (opposing player? not sure) giving credit to Barkov in a interview or something, didn't hear it completely. Did someone catch what it was about?

 

[CatscratchFever]

How nice would it be to have 34 wins already? That being said...back-up/call-up goalie in? It's a loss.

THey asked Crosby what are some of the challenge (or a similar question) of playing against the Panthers. First thing he said is how strong and well positionned Barkov is, so he's really hard to play against.

It makes sense, last season the Panthers ended Crosby's 18 (iirc) home game point streak and Barkov was matched against him.

I probably don't remember it 100% anymore, but Potvin (either last season or this season) went to talk to Pittsburgh Penguins players in the dressing room when Florida played them and asked what they thought of Panthers players, and immediately Crosby mentioned Barkov and how he is difficult to play against, mainly something about Barkovs positional play, how he is always on the right spot etc. Or something.

 

[ShootIt]

I also heard that about Barkov.

Crosby was giving him props.

 

[PanthersHockey1]

Look at that record for andersen.

I dont know how the ducks win so many games to be quite honest. Having getzlaf and perry is great but I dont know how they do it.

 

[Panthers Rock]

I'm pretty sure Bryz is starting, and that Lindholm is out.

At the time, both were listed as day to day with no confirmed starter. Guess we will see. That being said, if Bryz is in goal, Huberdeau will have a field day

Yeah it was Crosby.

I had forgot about that.

The red hot cat was missed in the original post. I believe it should be Flash!

Flash is in there as the red hot cat, read it again.

Readjusting lines/goalies and stuff is time consuming (I'm at work )

Oh yes so he is. The picture is not loading up on the computer hence why I missed it the first time.

Not bad for a 3C.

 

[FlaPanthers11]

Not bad for a 3C.

No one ever says that about Bolland.

 

[adam graves]

No one ever says that about Bolland.

Who?

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Bryz in net tonight.

 

[Lundell4Prez]

Bryz in net tonight.

Wooooooo

 

[Gentle Man]

Kopecky and Upshall out, Berg and Thornton in.

didn't think Upshall deserved to sit, but upper gallant injuries do suck.

don't underestimate Mr universe

I agree, but Anaheim has some big boys so having Thorton in there maybe for protection.

Yeah I'm fine with Thornton in for enforcing, Kopecky has size too but that penalty he took is probably why he has a UGI. But Upshall has brought the energy imo. someone else could have sat but it is hard to squeeze people in.

Rat King is never going to sit nor is Jokinen (Though The Rat King line has been pretty good).

 

[oOwlCat]

Wow, never realized how much Ekblad gets the puck on net. Love it.

Edit: image didn't work. He's second on the team in shots with 108.
