[The Macho King]

Honestly from here on out, I just want to see good efforts. Don't really care about wins and losses here - I just want to get into the playoffs ready to play.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Victories are nice. So is staying Healthy.

Agreed - Let's get everyone into the playoffs healthy

 

[The Macho King]

Just noticed we're 8-1-1 in our last ten. Damn... didn't realize we were on a hot streak.

 

[RDTBay4]

I'll be at the game tonight. Pumped up already.

 

[Bolto]

3 points from a playoff berth, we win and Booston loses we're in.

I'd like to see us get as much home ice in the the playoffs as possible so I'd us like to win and then keep on winning all the way to the Presidents Cup.

We're the hottest team that nobody is talking about. I like that just fine.

 

[Werewolf]

Want to see Drouin back on 1st line tonight. I'm hoping Sustr/Barberio play significantly well - can't have those two ruining our momentum every time they are on the ice. Each should play less than 18 minutes tonight. Banner time...plus franchise records on the line these last few games.

 

[chasespace]

Just don't lose.

 

[Werewolf]

Paquette is in tonight. No word on Forward scratch...ie: Namestnikov. No word on lines yet either. But Paquette def playing 2nite.

 

[Cookiefist]

Id like to see NIKITA NESTEROV! Prefer him instead of Barbs icing the puck with stretch goofy passes.

 

[Leonardo87]

Only an optional skate this morning so no idea about lines tonight until pre-game, and rather hold off my opinion on that subject after last game. lol.

Also, Morrow could be out tonight missed practice yesterday and did not skate this morning, so that means Vladdy and Paquette would both be in tonight if Morrow is out.

 

[Werewolf]

Honestly..I want to see Koekkoek/Sustr or Witko pairing. Taking Syracuse 1D and 1C might be too much but I swear I'm going to break something in my living room if I have to watch Barbs/Sustr again tonight. I haven't even looked at the possession stats for that pair...but something tells me it's horrific.

Nothing against Morrow but I hope that is the situation.

 

[Leonardo87]

Nothing against Morrow but I hope that is the situation.

Was thinking the same thing, he does what he is supposed to do, don't really ask much of him, and he's done a good job. But throwing a guy like Paquette or even Vladdy on the 4th line, gives us 4 higher potential scoring lines.

With the exception of TKO, we really do not know what the lines will be tonight. Should be interesting tonight against a tough team that has cooled off a little.

Barberio is fine possession wise. Sustr on the other hand, is a dumpster fire. Dead last on the team.

I'm trying to see when paired together though...not individually.

Not too bad.

52% Corsi For together.
49% Sustr apart
54% Barberio apart.

5v5 with/against

 

[Outl4w]

Lets go BOLTS!

 

[Werewolf]

5v5 with/against

Wow...Sustr actually drags down Barberio but both still have positive corsi when paired together. Its Sustr not Barberio that causes the dumpster fire. Sustr/Hedman is EYE Popping. Hedman straps on ankle weights when paired with Sustr. Only player that doesn't significantly regress is Garrison when paired with Sustr (when it comes to Corsi).

Time to take a look at Callahan/Stamkos vs Drouin/Stamkos...this should prove interesting.

Yep, that was the sense of my first reply but I took a short cut I guess.

 

[Werewolf]

Stamkos/Drouin > Stamkos/Callahan when it comes to 5v5 CORSI - difference is possibly negligible however. Gonna add Killorn for ***** and giggles.

 

[Werewolf]

Killorn/Stamkos/Drouin = 58.6% CORSI% (64.40m TOI)
Killorn/Stamkos/Callahan = 57.2% CORSI% (295m TOI)

Callahan/Filp: 54% CORSI% (498 TOI)
Callahan: 54% ALL UP CORSI 5v5
Filp: 48% ALL UP CORSI 5v5

Interesting info...
