Anyone think Stone draws into the game? On either sportsnet of tsn it was mentioned he may play with Michalek and Spezza

Who sits, Conacher?

Would be odd to see a player who wasn't even in the lineup when we didn't have Spezza available.

gotta be conacher because paulrus has said neil is ready.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Conacher sit next game.. If it's Conacher or stone on the Spezza/Michalek line.. I would go with Stone.

However.. Do you mess with a winning lineup?

 

[OmniSens]

Will be cheering from home. Wish I could join some of you! Got a great last second offer but already committed to something else unfortunately.

GO SENS GO!

Well it's not like we won that game handily. And the Spezza line could use a boost...I'm actually really interested to see how Spezza does tomorrow.

 

[Lundmark17]

Thought it was a little strange and it wasn't mentioned who would be the odd man out. Like you guys I would think Conacher as well especially with Neil looking healthy.

I like Stone, and I know a lot of people here like Stone too, but I question putting him into a game, in the middle of a series we're only trailing by one game, with guys he hasn't played with in months.

I dunno... I'm not saying Conachr has played super-great or anything, but he's had some big goals for us lately. I didn't get a chance to watch all of Game 3, but was Conacher so bad that he needs to sit?

Michalek was a lot worse than Conacher, IMO. Michalek had a clutch play where he set up Alfie, but that's all he did. Literally. He was painful to watch.

 

[Lundmark17]

I think Conacher's speed and chipiness is an asset to the team and given time he should be able to develop chemistry with Spezza. Also skeptical on putting a guy in who hasn't played in a few weeks without an injury.

GDT is now up, so I'm closing the pre-game thread.
