Olofsson Eichel Nylander

Let’s find out what we have please

 

[Paxon]

Olofsson should play with Eichel but if not, at least Reinhart. Except Phil will just reunite SER after 5 minutes anyhow.

 

[Snargitz]

Please score lots of goals but still lose in a non OT game

 

[26CornerBlitz]

 

[Gabrielor]

Loving a lot about these lines.

Olof with Eichel
Skinner with mitts
Dahlin with borgen
Pilut with montour

If we can’t produce some damn offense, just trade everyone and fold.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

I'm legit excited to see VO play in the NHL.

#NylanderDidNothingWrong

I wish we had another competent mid-6 center...

Wtf is going on? Why only now are sensible decisions being made?

 

[MackAttack26]

Too bad ERod is out.

If he took Sobs place, I would actually like the lineup tonight.

Glad to see V.O. getting a chance....to start at least

Very strange indeed.

Nylander getting hosed, but with ERod out that might have been the line

 

[joshjull]

Maybe now that we are officially out Phil can step away from his tried and true strategies/tactics and go with the risky, off the wall stuff.

...For a period...

Top 4 of Dahlin/Montour/Pilut/Borgen


Ya I think I'll watch tonight Dahlin-Borgen could turn into something awesome long term.

[CrazyPsycho]

Thats quite the "sick" for Risto

 

[OkimLom]

Wtf is going on? Why only now are sensible decisions being made?

A part of me thought that Nylander and Olof should be on the PP seeing as they have shown chemistry there in Rochester.

 

[Dubi Doo]

I may tune into this one. A good look at the future.

If memory serves they were on opposite PP in Roch

It was Nylander Pilut Asplund running the umbrella on one unit

I think it is called "We just got shutout by Ottawa. We need to throw the fans a bone so they actually show up to the arena without trying to burn it down"

I thought I saw them on that same PP, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Zman5778]

I might actually be semi-excited to watch tonight. Sensible lines. Sensible D pairs. Sensible PPs. Wish ERod was in instead of Vladdy Daddy, but them's the breaks I suppose.
