I like our chances going into this game. We had an extra day off from the usual one day gap between games. Last time we did this, we scored 4 goals, but Gibby was off of his game completely. I really do think that extra day is when Eakins gets to have his team practice because Eakins has called off practice in the day off between games seeing how fatigued his team is after a game.
We're such a young team in flux with a couple of new people (such as Heinen, Milano, Backes, Shattenkirk, Hakanpaa, and Hutton) that it might be difficult to gel as a team. All of the non-playoff teams should have had a couple weeks more of playing time or even a light tourney to develop some chemistry. The only thing we had as a constant from the beginning of last year to this year are our netminders and the fourth line. All other lines and pairing have been in continual interchanging due to injuries or trades. Huh. That's actually kinda sad to acknowledge.
