If those do wind up being the lines, i’m guessing 39 on 1L is to try to guard against another -4 performance by those guys. Just an effort to balance out the lines and keep the game close.
But yes, Chiasson and Stephenson in top-6 is not an exciting state of affairs.
I wish Shane Gersich had elected to leave North Dakota early. He looks potentially NHL ready.
Anyway, here’s hoping Caps play hard and keep game close, and that one of the young guys takes advantage of the extra minutes and starts to earn a bigger role.
That's the spiritWe're going 0-3 on this road trip.
With the exception of a handful of players, our lineup looks like an AHL lineup. Ouch
Considering that won't happen, its best we try to win as much as we can. Don't forget there are a ton of coaches out there worse then Trotz, and not many that would be an improvement.
backstrom is out tonight per issabelle
@hockeykicker I agree with you. I feel like there is zero expectations for the team to perform well, and with no pressure... I bet these guys start rolling the lines and playing with a ton of weight off their shoulders. Everyone is expecting them to lose and I betcha they come out and win tonight.
Is that tomorrow or never? Because my sleep issues are telling me to go to bedIf anyone has any sort of chronic sleep issues I urge you to watch tonight's game with me.
3A, a Kuzy hatty? Quite probable as it might be a high scoring gameKuzy with a hatty, anyone?
Energetic shift by Stephenson.
