[CBJ goalie]

I mean, I'm not sure how much more motivation this team needs.

Horrible couple of games? Get a few days off and play in Finland, and feed off the Laine hype.
Wins? Nah

Come back to Nationwide, again after a few days off - now they're facing their former coach, which is usually bulletin board material.
Win? I'm not holding my breath.....

 

[Finner]

Main question is: Is this last game for Larsen ?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

 

[I3LI3]

L. yawn.

 

[ViD]

Is Laine playing ? He was day to day

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Gonna try this again:

The return of Tortkinson

Or is it Atkorella?

 

[Cowumbus]

Roslovic with Bemstrom and Nyquist. Great..

 

[ViD]

Cam is injured though

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Cam is injured though

Don’t care. I’m using the jumbled names anyway.

 

[EspenK]

While logic says that they are well rested and should be up for a divisional game coached by their former coach I am going to take the opposing theory which says they will come out slow having not played since Saturday and will be trying too hard going against Torts.. Throw in the injuries, Korpi in goal and the pressure to turn it around I'll say 3-1 Philly. Only thing keeping it that close is Philly is not an offensive juggernaut.

 

[LoneFunyan]

They'll win this one, one of the MON games and one more random one between now and the end of November. They'll sit 6-16 on Dec 1.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

“You’re going after the wrong guy here.”

Hmm

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

“You’re going after the wrong guy here.”

Hmm

I know what we want to do here but I really just think he’s defending Larsen there.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I know what we want to do here but I really just think he’s defending Larsen there.

I think so too, but that’s some interesting phrasing.

 

[VT]

I bet there will be such lines:

Gaudreau -- Jenner -- Laine
Nyquist -- Roslovic -- Bemstrom
Robinson -- Sillinger -- Chinakhov
Foudy -- Gaunce -- Olivier

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

I think so too, but that’s some interesting phrasing.

He didn’t say or even suggest he knows who the “right guy” is.

 

[Monk]

He didn’t say or even suggest he knows who the “Wright guy” is.

I believe Tyler is the director of scouting for the Oilers now

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

I believe Tyler is the director of scouting for the Oilers now

Maybe it’s Ed Harris

 

[Jovavic]

I'm expecting the worst game of the season thus far, 8-1, Korpisavior is the only reason it's reasonable close halfway through the first before he buckles under 50 shots against

 

[Doggy]

I'd like to see Dubi in the house tonight, put him on the big screen and give him another standing ovation

 

[HHel]

 

[JacketsDavid]

Perhaps Torts is making a dig on who put the team together?

 

[VT]

Knowing Lars, anyone, even those who don't know our lineup, can guess the lines.

 

[ViD]

This means CBJ will win tonight
