What I'd like to see going forward:
Palat-Johnson-Marchessault
Killorn-Namestnikov-Kucherov
Brown-Filppula-Callahan
Paquette-Boyle-Condra
Hedman-Sustr
Nesterov-Coburn
Koekkoek-Garrison
Me too. We have to find a way to get two scoring lines, and reuniting 90-86 might be our best chance of that. Maybe we could add Brown in hopes they can recreate their AHL success, leaving KFC for our third line?
Just Win And You're In!
...well technically a loss in ot/so and you're in as well...
Aren't we guaranteed to make the playoffs? Since Detroit plays Boston?
If we lose outright all of our games we finish with 95
If Boston wins the game vs Detroit in OT/SO both of them can still finish with 96.
Hence why we need 1 point since we hold tie breakers with both of them.
I was thinking about that, but I also really liked 23-51-24 when we saw it for a couple of weeks. I chose to go with Killorn over Brown but they are certainly interchangeable.
So if we clinch tonight, do I start growing the playoff beard tomorrow? Or do I wait until season's end? Or do I wait until the first game of the playoffs?
I ask this question every year.
Must've heard you. New lines now apparently, lol.
Erlendsson shows up late and tweets the first set of lines Joe gave so I have no idea WTF is going on.

I was hoping that Cooper would try and put together at least 2 scoring lines but with that 2nd line I'd think not, I mean sure Killorn can go hot but he can also have a down game and then there is no scoring threat on that line.
I am curies of how Cally and Vladdy does though I don't like Paquette on that line but what can you do, hopefully we can call up Drouin and or play JAM (who I just now saw isn't in again, that's just dumb), maybe if he was we could try and line of JAM - Vladdy - Cally, could maybe create something.

Jesus Christ, that looks like ****. Unless we pick up a kick ass forward, next year's lineup without Stamkos is gonna look pedestrian at best.
Also, the idea that the triplets have to play together in order to produce is garbage. If we're gonna hand the reigns over to them next year they need to be able to produce without being tied to one another's hip. Having all your top end talent on one line because they can't carry another line by themselves is going to F us over big time.
