[CAMSANITY]

First time putting together a GDT, hopefully it brings us some luck!

 

[Socks]

No injuries. No suspensions. Hopefully a win.

 

[Jackets Fan]

Jenner takes Johansen's spot? Well, that's interesting to say the least...

 

[CAMSANITY]

Yeah, these are from the lines at practice yesterday. Except the defense. I will update those later today.

 

[DarkandStormy]

All three regular "A's" from last year are out (Johnson, Dubinsky, Letestu). Who gets them tonight? Boll we know has worn an A all season. I believe Tyutin has worn an A as well. The 3rd? Probably Foligno. I could see cases for Wisniewski, Hartnell (vet), or Jenner (didn't he wear an A in preseason) as well.

Also, please start Forsberg, HCTR.

 

[Viqsi]

Jenner takes Johansen's spot? Well, that's interesting to say the least...

No, he doesn't.

Here's another representation of the lines:
Gibbons-Johansen-Foligno
Hartnell-Jenner-Atkinson
Calvert-Wennberg-Skille
Tropp-Chaput-Boll

Narrative: "OMG Gibbons on the top line!"


Here's yet another:
Calvert-Wennberg-Skille
Gibbons-Johansen-Foligno
Hartnell-Jenner-Atkinson
Tropp-Chaput-Boll

Narrative: "Wennberg ahead of Johansen? WTF?"


And another!
Tropp-Chaput-Boll
Calvert-Wennberg-Skille
Hartnell-Jenner-Atkinson
Gibbons-Johansen-Foligno

Ice time in practice != ice time in game. Folks need to stop paying such slavish attention to the order in which they're printed. Ice time and matchups will go where they need to go.

 

[FreeBoomer61]

I think with all of the juggling of the lines, HCTR is trying to spread the wealth (of decent forwards) on each line so that they're somewhat respectable. The last 4 or 5 games, Johansen's line has been shut down effectively imo because when we pair Hartnell-Joey-Foligno, we lack skill and scoring on our other three lines because of the injuries. Other coaches plan around this and when they shut this line down, our scoring is depleted. I like this move by Richards

 

[WannabeFinn]

looking forward to some Friday night hockey after this long week

 

[blahblah]

No, he doesn't.

Here's another representation of the lines:
Gibbons-Johansen-Foligno
Hartnell-Jenner-Atkinson

Strictly speaking both interpretations are true. Pretty sure that Johasen was centering Atkinson and Hartnell, so Jenner is slotting in there. Having said that, Foligno and Johansen are going to get the top line minutes.

I'll have to check this one out on DVR. Gonna check out Interstellar.

If this game gets out of hand there is always this

http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2014/11/07/ncaa-on-nbcsn-eichel-led-bu-takes-on-rival-boston-college/

I'm setting the DVR to watch this one.

So McBackup goes tonight. Does he go back to back or is HCTR throwing Forsberg against TB who just averaged 5 goals a game for their home stand. Either way tomorrow doesn't look pretty without Bob, Murray & JJ.

 

[blahblah]

Either way tomorrow doesn't look pretty without Bob, Murray & JJ.

And Dubinksy, Letestu, and AA.

 

[The Jones Zone]

Jenner takes Johansen's spot? Well, that's interesting to say the least...

wasn't Jenner a center until moved to wing last season....I believe it is his more natural position

I'm very interested in checking that out at some point, have to see that one in the theatre for the full effect.

This feels like a must win, I know that's not the case, but it feels that way. I'll be very disappointed if we are outplayed tonight.

But critical nonetheless.

McMason in goal tonight

[DarkandStormy]

Welp, over/under on atrocious rebound goals given up is already set at 2.5.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Gleason's out for us tonight with Liles taking his place in the lineup. I'm not sure how/if that'll change the d-pairings (if Peters intends to just slot Liles in with Harrison or if he plans on mixing up the pairings).

Wouldn't it make more sense to put Forsberg in goal tonight?

I could've sworn Foligno was already on his line partway through the last game, but, meh.

 

[EspenK]

Wouldn't it make more sense to put Forsberg in goal tonight?

Several ways to look at it:

1) McB stands a chance against Carolina and it could bolster his confidence;

2) HCTR thinks Forsberg is better and therefore gets the start tomorrow

3) McB is going to start both games

I see little hope against TB with either goalie (wouldn't be surprised to see both) and if it were me I think I agree with you and would start Forsberg tonight.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Best reason to play McB tonight and hopefully Anton tomorrow? My buddy and I will get to constantly regale those sitting around us with a deep-voiced British sounding pronunciation of "Fors-berg" all night tomorrow. Good times.

[Nordique]

Go for the Scottish

 

[NotWendell]

This game is... you guessed it.... CRITICAL!
