Last I heard the lines were something like that and Dubnyk might be making his return tonight. Spurgeon might also be back, but that seems like more of a coin-flip.

Mostly I just hope this doesn't suck.

Never realized how good that AZ lineup looks nowadays.

The defense looked pretty shaky until I remembered they've got Hjalmarsson and Demers out with injuries. It looks pretty legit with those two back in.

I caught a couple AZ games the past month; Dvorak is a stud. That Zucker + Ennis + Nino for Dvorak and Domi would’ve been an incredible heist. Fenton was a scrub but he sure was good at evaluating players (hold rask).

It would've precluded the Rask deal, as well. If the Arizona trade was as close as Russo has implied, Fenton came very close to a first year of....

Zucker, Ennis, Nino, Coyle, Granlund

for

Dvorak, Domi, Donato, Fiala

Plus two drafts that look pretty solid right now. It's too bad he was apparently insufferable to work with.

The exact accent I had in mind.

 

[Webster]

Those forward lines are almost like they were at practice. But Sturm centers 3rd line, Rask 4th. Boudreau is really giving the AHL guys some big roles in this game. Lets just hope it pays off, it's also the only chance for them to show what they can do up here.

 

[123TripleDoge]

Man, i looked forward to going to this. But with all the injuries and what not right now.... meh.

Dubnyk's first start in weeks against a team that just added Taylor Hall and his backup's sick. What could go wrong?

Personally, this is music to my ears

Dubnyk's about to go on one of his runs where he's the best goaltender in the world for 20ish games

I haven't wanted to say it out loud but I half-expect it. These seem like the worst possible circumstances for him to regain his form, so of course that's what'll happen. Gotta get that second Masterton.

 

[Nsjohnson]

He's playing with a stressed and anxious heart, playing under a tough time in his life. Some people do really well, raising their game against those things, and some crash down with them.

I won't blame the guy if he doesn't play well- I actually just wish him the best. I wouldn't be surprised though if we see him play out of his mind good.

 

[NHL1674]

I'm hoping Dubs has a good game simply for the fact that he could use a little boost right now. As it's already been said, he's had a very stressful few weeks. I've criticized him before, but am giving him a break tonight. I sure as hell couldn't focus if in his shoes.

I for one am excited to watch this bs

Sure hope Boudreau doesn't get re-signed

 

[Bazeek]

I'm certainly not going to pretend like Suter-Dumba hasn't been donkey.

I'm also not sure which of them is more responsible for that.

The defense is the least offensive thing about that

Yeah, the forwards are a mystery to me.

 

[chchelseII]

Sure hope Boudreau doesn't get re-signed

Because he has a no talent team on track to make the playoffs? Makes sense.

 

[57special]

What was wrong with Mayhew?

 

[Webster]

What was wrong with Mayhew?

He's better as a winger, they need center guys.

Pretty much all of his good roster moves have been caused by injury and not from his coaching

 

[AKL]

Because he has a no talent team on track to make the playoffs? Makes sense.

Because he continually displays questionable decision making with his roster. On track to make the playoffs? You looking at the right year?
