I think he’s there right now actually.

 

[Magic Mittens]

You wearing a Stars Jersey? Think I'll leave mine at home tonight haha

Benn normally lights it up at the Dome, but that was old Benn

I am 100% wearing a Stars jersey

I’m in section 105 if you see a tall man in a Benn jersey that is me

 

[Troy McClure]

Unless you see a tall man in a Benn jersey on the ice. Then it's probably Benn.

 

[MBTendy]

Not even sure what to expect for this one. Or any Stars game really

Either they get crushed or lose late in the game by 1 goal. That's usually how it goes these days. Either way it'll likely be boring and we will struggle to score or get anything generated offensively

 

[Smelling Salt]

I'd like to see Nuke rewarded for his generational grinding play as of late. Move him up with Benn/Seguin for this game. Drop Rads down with Spezza and move Shore down. Shore was a ghost last night and not too noticeable against Colorado too.

Yeah I can confirm that is not me

Yeah the top line has to be split up on road games at this point. They're fine at home but on the road changes have to be made

You clearly haven't been watching our recent road games <l>

 

[Wayne Primeau]

No, I'll admit that I haven't been.

Rittich is starting, actually -- here are the Flames' lines:

#13 Johnny Gaudreau - #23 Sean Monahan - #28 Elias Lindholm
#19 Matthew Tkachuk - #11 Mikael Backlund - #93 Sam Bennett
#27 Austin Czarnik - #10 Derek Ryan - #18 James Neal
#29 Dillon Dube - #77 Mark Jankowski - #21 Garnet Hathaway

#5 Mark Giordano - #7 T.J. Brodie
#55 Noah Hanifin - #24 Travis Hamonic
#58 Oliver Kylington - #4 Rasmus Andersson

#33 David Rittich
#41 Mike Smith

PP1:
Tkachuk
Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Giordano

PP2:
Bennett
Backlund - Neal - Ryan
Hanifin

On both those units, the RW (Lindholm, Hanifin) take the faceoffs and move to the right flank/point, allowing Monahan/Neal to go into the slot.

Hope for a good game!

Nice try to jinx us, but jokes on you cause we can't score no matter who is in net!

Thanks for the info. Looks like a good line up for you guys. Best we can hope for is a good game, and that our top line decides to click again.

Trivia factoid, I regularly used to drive through the village Mike Smith was brought up in near Kingston, Ontario. They had a sign up to commemorate it. I can't remember the name of the damn village now though. Old age is a terrible thing <l>. Might have been Harrowsmith.
I love travelling around Canada as you see that all over. Everyone's proud of their NHL'er.

I mean if the goaltending is actually incompetent we will score goals even on the road . Example the Islanders game.

Well nevermind its not Smith

I'd throw in Bow tonight by the way but Khudobin has been solid on the back to back in Denver so i don't know.

Did a little research... about the Stars "power" play.

Games 1-5: 54.5% (first) - hot streak
Games 6-16: 11.5% (28th) - with Klingberg
Games 17-25: 7.4% (29th) - without Klingberg

Games 6-25: 9.3% (last) - total post-hot streak

Can we decline penalties?

Just put Comeau in to take the faceoff and have him hook down the opposite center.
