[Zombotron]

Vancouver can make it 4 wins in a row and sweep their roadtrip with a win here.

Well... It's usually difficult for us to beat the same twice in a row.. so expectations are low for a win.

Expectations for entertainment value are high tho... its fun again.

Keep it close like last game and you just never know...

I would start Nilsson here i think... come back with Markstrom at home and then Nilsson on the back half of the back to back... But I'm not Green.

Predsll be angry for last time loss to us. 5-3 Preds and our goals by Leivo Boeser and Horvat

 

[Zombotron]

If Vancouver is to win, I would prefer to see them blow out Nashville, who then can't get revenge until next season.

Got one more with em.. We play all the central teams at least 3 times. The east is just twice.

Then of course there's the whole meet in the playoffs potential... amirite.... riiiiiight? heh

If the Pacific somehow stays this bad, and we keep floating around 500, then it is a possibility.

That also feels weird as hell.
I know what happened to us... What happened to everybody else?

I think the Preds probably win it in a low scoring affair... more like 2-1 Preds.

However I hope we just turn it on again, once again blowing out a still ailing Preds club 5-2.
Goals for Granlund, Pettersson, Boeser x 2, Horvat.

I can hope right?

I conflated Winnipeg and Nashville, and in the process thought this was the series finale. My mistake. We get one more game against Nashville in April.

Anyways, they're missing two first-line wingers, a top-nine centre and a top-pairing defenseman. Exploit it or forever hold your peace, because Tampa Bay is coming over next week

Edmonton has Chia's Pets all over his roster, and not even McDavid can make up for Lucic and the Hall trade.
Anaheim has injuries and two massive contracts in Kesler and Perry that aren't doing much.
Calgary is feasting on this season. Tops in the division I think.
San Jose is doing aight, but Karlsson has been disappointing since his acquisition.
Las Vegas is back down to earth after a wild start to their franchise.
Los Angeles....injuries and terrible coaching/systems? I don't know there. Lots. Kovalchuck should have given them a scoring boost, but the wheels fell off everyone else.
Arizona is a perennial favorite for lottery parties, so no surprises when they don't excel.
