God damn it, you are right.

auto loss then

 

[the_fan]

So Avs may not have their 2nd best forward Kiviranta in this one?

 

[Kranix]

Are those lines confirmed?

 

[Gruyeriev]

Did the Flames really pay Kadri all that money to be their 3C? I assumed he was behind Lindholm but not Backlund.

 

[Pokecheque]

Are those lines confirmed?

Definitely not if both Manson and Kiviranta remain doubtful.

They rotate their top 3 lines very evenly for about 15 minutes a game. Kadri and Backlund get worse linemates than Lindholm typically, but those two are deployed about the same. Placement on paper is pretty irrelevant.

 

[Pokecheque]

Third line these days isn't always a demotion, if anything it's probably an attempt by Huska to have Lindholm and Backlund take on tougher matchups and give Kadri and his linemates more opportunities to score. His ATOI last five games or so is still around the 19-20 mark apart from Calgary's December 5th matchup against Minnesota, where he got just over 14 minutes.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

So Kivi is ill and doubtful for tonight. That explains why he didn't play that well last game. I thought he was not as effective on the forecheck.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Nuke/Mack/Mikko
Wood/Rosco/LOC
Tatar/RyJo/Drouin
Cogs/Olaf/Dermy

Toews/Makar
JMFJ/Bo
Jones/Malinski

George

That lineup is not good.

 

[Pokecheque]

Well, at least there's yet another chance of a MacDermid highlight-reel goal tonight.

 

[Kranix]

Nuke/Mack/Mikko
Wood/Rosco/LOC
Tatar/RyJo/Drouin
Cogs/Olaf/Dermy

Toews/Makar

Who's going to be the fourth forward on pp1
