[McMetal]

Nobody took today's GDT, so I got it. Lineups from Daily Faceoff, I doubt they're 100% accurate. I believe I heard we're facing Budaj tonight.

 

[Foppberg]

 

[JLo217]

Isn’t Calvert out?

 

[LTC Pain]

Kuck the Fings! Steamroll'em into the Pacific!

 

[McMetal]

I assume they'll put Nieto right back to Soderberg's wing, and bump Dries down to Kam's right side.

 

[Pokecheque]

I assume they'll put Nieto right back to Soderberg's wing, and bump Dries down to Kam's right side.

Hope not...they were onto something putting Dries there and leaving Nieto on the 4th line where he belongs. Both Long Beach All-Star and Soda benefited from it.

 

[5280]

Yay! glad there's no Dano. I'm kind of indifferent to Barberio vs Nemeth and don't really mind Bourque for some reason, but this is arguably the best roster we can muster at the moment. Let's go get 'em.

[Foppberg]

I'm holding out hope that some combination of Jost/Kamenev/Kerfoot/Sven will happen on some line.

 

[SaltySkywalker]

Zadorov point shot GWG.

 

[AvsWraith]

Isn’t Calvert out?

I think they said last game that his mother was having surgery and he went to be with her.

Not a Calvert fan, but I wish his mom good luck.

 

[Pokecheque]

Isn’t Calvert out?

No, he just missed a practice to attend to a family matter.

HockeyBuzz.com - Rick Sadowski - Varlamov seeks 200th NHL win

Gabriel Landeskog -- Nathan MacKinnon -- Mikko Rantanen
Tyson Jost -- Alexander Kerfoot -- Colin Wilson
Sheldon Dries -- Carl Soderberg - Matt Calvert
Matt Nieto -- Vladislav Kamenev - Sven Andrighetto

Samuel Girard -- Erik Johnson
Ian Cole -- Tyson Barrie
Patrik Nemeth -- Nikita Zadorov

Semyon Varlamov
Philipp Grubauer

For the most part I like it. Would've liked to see Kam on the 2nd line but at least he has Sven. Poor Carl is stuck with dog shit once again though.

 

[Pokecheque]

If ONLY he'd switch Ghetto and Calvert...then that lineup would be damn near ideal.

Jost and Soda worked the other night. Best to keep them away from each other...

 

[AvsWraith]

Petition to get Gork off Kam's wing. Give this kid some better linemates and he might flourish! He's played great the last few games.

They seem to work really well together.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Soda and a pylon would work well together.

 

[AvsFan29]

Good call on the scratches

Put Kam on PP1

Please win an easy game

[Tommy Shelby]

A "should win" game, so naturally I'm expecting a 5-2 loss.

 

[Sea Eagles]

So who sits when JT is back? We thinking Dries, or Nieto?

 

[dahrougem2]

You can't lose this game. Not to this Kings team.

 

[Avsboy]

Almost certainly Dries

 

[Sea Eagles]

Honestly, I had very high hopes for the season, and I think we can achieve what I expect (top 5-6 in the entire NHL). I think we've actually under performed to date, and played a little passive at times. When we play on our toes, and on attack, we are unstoppable.
