Looks like miller/dz will be scratched.

glad Falk is back in the lineup...


not a fan of Miller be scratched, why not send him to the AHL already instead of wasting important development time... why not call Haley up as the healthy scratch

 

[OverTheCap]

Miller should be back in the AHL getting top line minutes as opposed to being a healthy scratch and playing on the 4th line here.

Del Zotto needs to play soon. He can't prove that he is capable of playing better when he is a healthy scratch.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

I'm willing to bed Messier sabotaged one of his concussion-proof helmets in San Jose

Freudian slip? Haha. Yeah it was either Messier or Kel Varsen.

 

[nevesis]

“@PLeonardNYDN: Miller and Del Zotto are the scratches”

 

[Wolfy*]

We have probably seen the last of the Kreids-Step-Zucc line, it hasn't been very productive as of late. Kreider has gone eight games without scoring.

Zucc demoted to 3rd line duty is fine, after his huge mistake against LA. He needs to play better if he wants to remain a top six player. Maybe it's time to call mom...

 

[BroadwayBlues]

How come Poo Poo never get scratched?

cause the stink of the Poo Poo never goes away

 

[Kane One]

This game will be another test to see how they compete with the best of the conference. They beat the Penguins so hopefully they show everyone they could beat the Bruins too.

Wait, is this line actually broken up?

Kreider has 2 goals, he was never scoring. He was a difference maker and an assist guy. Zucc made one poor decision against LA and because of that he'll get demoted? You're making way too big of a deal about it. He might get demoted but not because he passed instead of shot. It wasn't a "huge" mistake.

 

[Riverdale]

Either play mdz or trade him already.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Miller makes mistakes but actually makes plays. Pouliot makes mistakes and doesn't make plays. Why is Miller sitting over him?

That line hasnt produced a goal in 2 weeks, since the Pittsburgh game. Why the commotion to keep them together? Its absurd.

 

[ecemleafs]

do we know what the lines will look like?

This.

 

[KreiMeARiver*]

Correct.

Poopalot and Pyatt are the two guys on this team I'd like to never see again.

Glad Nash is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pouliot and AV are both french speaking so maybe that has something to do with it. or AV is the father of Pouliot.. Pouliot is crap.. much rather have Asham

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Pouliot and Pyatt were both guys that were specifically targeted by Sather and brought in to be NHL depth. Wouldnt be surprised at all if politics are involved here.

By politics you mean an old fool's unwillingness to admit he brought in the wrong guys?

 

[Raspewtin]

If there's ever a game I want Justin Falk to play in, it's this one.

Great to have Nash back.

Great to have Nash back.

With Falk playing these last 3 games, maybe Del Zotto will be traded sooner than later. no point of having a player that makes close to 2.0 mil being a healthy scratch...

On J.T. Miller, AV says "Five game road trip coming up, he's going to play in the near future..for tonight we feel this is our best lineup"

Sorry, but this an absurd answer.

Doesnt even give a hint that Miller will be sent down to develop, which would be the best move of all.

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

So if Nash is playing with Boyle and Hags, we'll likely see something like his.

Richards - Stepan - Callahan
Kreider - Brassard - Zuccarello
Hagelin - Boyle - Nash
Poo - Moore - Dorsett

 

[Fataldogg]

Not sure I agree with putting Nash back in against the Bruins unless he is 110%. I wouldn't mind resting him one more game to avoid Lucic, Chara, Marchand, and the whole team of Boston who will likely be gunning for him.

That said, he's starting, and I hope he is ready, because we need him to score goals and be the go to guy.
