huge game got to play well this last two weeks to build confidence for round one and get momentum to keep moving forward

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Why is Bishop starting?

 

[Brie]

We lost both games this season against this team so I hope that the team will come out motivated but without Price in net for them we can't seem to do anything but struggle to score, but the hope is that we can do something.

 

[These Are The Days]

Why is Bishop starting?

Because Bish things. He's like 9-1-3 all time vs Montreal and that's not counting what he did in the playoffs last year. You gotta play the odds in a game like this and also, he had a hell of a game against Toronto last time out. He's the hot hand.

Coop got it right this time

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Win Today
that is all

Why is Bishop starting?

why not?

 

[Brie]

Both could possibly be in tonight, but guess we'll see.

 

[Leonardo87]

[dechire]

relevant for Saturday

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

why not?

Because we have another goalie constantly getting cold.

 

[FDfranklin]

Because we have another goalie constantly getting cold.

Why would he need to be warm right now? 6 games left in the season and he doesn't need to be hot for the playoffs because he won't be playing.

Vassy's been awesome as a backup

 

[chasespace]

I honestly wish we'd just shut Callahan and Kucherov down for the rest of the regular season. Kucherov we need on his game and Callahan hasn't been able to string many good games together this season so I'd rather give him the extra rest so he can hit that extra gear in the playoffs when we'll really need it.

Did Bishop get adamantium bones?

Not going to get into it about Callahan I am done this season, but we need these guys. We still have a lot to play for. We have not clinched yet and still going for home ice and the division. Plus I'd rather go into a running start into the playoffs than just walking into them.

last two weeks of season you really want to be rolling on all cylinders im very happy everyone is back except stralman and nope dont read that wrong NOT happy stralman is hurt but to have everyone back fresh etc.. is a great thing

we do have one back to back coming up and every point is important

much rather play at home vs detroit/boston/philly wild card over playing someone like pitt or something even islanders id much rather have boston or detroit who have issues glaring ones right now detroit goalie boston everything than islandes pittsburgh or even the rangers somehow

id like an easy series to get feet settled

so hope we win out or get major points and win the division myself thats in our control

 

[Master P]

A win would be nice.

 

[FDfranklin]

We should have sat Stralman for the remainder of the season also, right?

I'm really not interested in trading false equivalences with you.

So you have an issue with not playing Vassy because he gets cold, but we should sit our starter leading up to the playoffs?

 

[Felonious Python]

Vassy's been awesome as a backup

I'd be pretty good at opening and closing the bench door
