Nice GDT. Unfortunately, I won't be able to watch this.

Also, I don't think Cooke and Keränen are playing C.

Both are listed in the projected lineup in Russo's blog. Seen here...

Saturday's lineup:

F--Parise, Granlund, Pominville, Niederreiter, Koivu, Coyle, Cooke, Haula, Fontaine, Brodziak, Keranen, Rechlicz

D--Suter, Brodin, Scandella, Spurgeon, Olofsson, Dumba

G--Backstrom, Kuemper

Yeo said Backstrom will play the entire game.

EDIT:Sorry, misread your post, thought you said you didn't think they were playing at all, not playing C...

Yes, Haula is listed as the center for Cooke and Fontaine, but Keranen is listed as center for Brodziak and Rechlicz... probably an error though?

 

[Lapa]

Keränen can play C, but I just don't see him being C when we have Brodz.

 

[TaLoN]

It is pre-season though... if you're going to try it, now's the time. Just like Coyle playing C in the first pre-season game.

The lineup in the blog was made based on the lines from practice that were expected to carry into the game. If he was playing C in practice as the lineup suggest, we may actually see him at C then after all for this game.

 

[StealthClobber]

I made the lines based on the practice paper showing all the players numbers in order, and put them all on there based on that, with the exception of Koivu staying in center because I don't think he wouldn't play center, but I could be wrong.

If we get real lines tomorrow, I'll update the GDT with them.

Yeah, I guess that would make sense. Maybe they just want to see if he has what it takes to play C in case some of our C's get injured.

Ha, fair enough

Russo's blog has them listed in line order that they were in practice... so other than the Cooke error in the OP, your line order matches the blog, which did list Keranen at Center with Brodz on the wing.

Keep your head up, Granlund.

 

[BurnsyMN]

I remember going to a preseason game last year against the Jets. Their fans will be there in numbers cheering like its the playoffs

 

[TaLoN]

Keep your head up, Granlund.

Stop with your bad joo joo! Happy thoughts!

 

[Maestro Ville Leino]

This lineup is 25% Finnish. Too bad I will be partying tonight and when the game starts at 3 am, I'm going to be too drunk to enjoy the game.

 

[tyratoku]

Game is televised tonight?

 

[Sarge58]

It will be nice to watch the game on normal T.V instead of a choppy stream on my laptop.



edit: thank you for the GDT

 

[rynryn]

wwwwwooooooooo.

I show the game is on NHL Network, happy to have that channel.

 

[Paul Bunyan]

I was kind of hoping to get this one, even though this is terrible hockey weather, but I got the next two preseasons in my draft instead.

Looking forward to hear what people say about the new scoreboard and game production stuff even if it's not "100%" or whatever.

It depends it seems, I've been to a couple and it seems hit or miss.

Combined with Vikings weekends it seems to be better other than "True North" which you can regularly hear and is incredibly awesome IMO.

Updated the lines with today's lineups as per: http://wild.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/preview?id=2014010053

The only change is Coyle is moved up to RW 1st line, replacing Pommer who moves to RW 2nd line.

Seems odd to split Granlund and Pominville up but might as well try it in the preseason.

 

[BusQuets]

I like that they are trying Granlund with Coyle. Always thought they have some chemistry.

Still nothing on GCL though.

At least there will be streams.

Puck drop in 6 mins.
