Pre-Game Talk: 97 is back. Bear on PP1. Win guaranteed.

[BlackDogg]

I guarantee a winning road trip. 4 points coming up or @I am the Liquor will change his avatar back to Ratboy for eternity.

Nobody wants to see that. Make sure tippet knows

 

[dssource]

Very happy to hear both of these for tomorrow! I have a feeling McDavid comes back and tears up the league in the last 20+ games. I hope he challenges for most points by end of season.

Good for Tippett to see that Nurse has been dragging that PP down. Bear should be licking his chops at the opportunity.

So... You mean there's a chance against LA?

OK Google, play "Without Me" by Eminem.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Super excited McDavid is back, even more impressed with how well the team did in his absence

 

[Mr Positive]

Guaranteed win? Hardly

If it were up to me, Benson would never have got the call up, and we wouldn't have seen how smart and solid he is. Shows what I know. His whole line had a rough night last night, but I don't think that's on Benson at all.

Having seen what we've seen... I'm actually intrigued by the idea of a line of Benson - McDavid - Yamamoto. Then you can got RNH - Draisaitl - Archibald, who has kind of been like Yamo, and can finish in tight.

I think those combos might work well. Tippet should give it a shot.

Quite a few people saw it that way. That line was rough all night but Benson was making plays and trying to push the pace but his linemates had an off night so it all led to nothing

Players can elevate their play for a limited time when a key player is out, but they all falter eventually with the extra minutes. Same thing happened to Jones last year when he was thrust into the top pairing with Larsson when everyone got hurt.

Winning road trip ahead.

Now that we got through it in good shape. Connor getting two weeks of rest and the playoffs in his sights, he's going to go supernova

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

Ennis for a pick, Benning+picks for Kapanen. Throw both those wingers on the first line with Davo and watch them fly.

I love Tyler Ennis. He'd be a perfect fit on the team, with or without McDavid

shame we can't bring in gerbe too to run a gerbe-ennis-yamamoto line

it'd be a swarm of bees

Our media is super annoying. Like a nagging b**** of sorts.

Agreed.
Regarding Connor...I would be surprised if he doesnt play against the Kings.

I have to say that I am obviously way too old school....every time I see your user name I expect to see this image....

Don’t anger the hockey gods with a guaranteed win. There are no easy wins in the NHL

I personally wished they’d give McDavid one extra game off. Dress 7 D. At worst Cave is next door at Bakersfield.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

f*** me the OOT on Saturday was so unfriendly. Gotta win a few games this week, hopefully starting strong in LA.

Looking forward to the return of McJesus and the introduction of Bear on PP1.

It was meant to be tongue in cheek funny — chill out Captain Serious!

Hey Leon, hold my beer....

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Soo with Cave being sent down instead of Benson, are we giving Benson one game with McDavid to see if there's any sparks before the deadline Monday?

 

[tardigrade81]

We might win


We play to our opponents level so who knows.

 

[Mez]

Guaranteed lose.. shit team on second half of back to back...playing in LA

Yama/Chiasson-Draisaitl-McDavid
RNH-Bear

Seriously though, while Klef and Neal have been good, the thought of McDavid, Draisaitl, and RNH having two RH shots, one up high and one down low, is as close to perfection as you can get.

I bet Yammo, even at his smallish stature would be a great net front presence.
