Here's the starting line up for the LA Criminals.

Brown, Quick, Doughty, Muzzin, Gaborik, Carter.

Doan, Hanzal, Smith and everyone on the Coyotes may need to take out the tazers for this one just to maintain the peace.

 

[CC96]

The Kings NWA now? I might just have to become a Kings fan.

 

[Howler Scores]

Vermette a game-time decision per @azc_mclellan

Tip had a late night of drinking I see.

[CC96]

But would you say he's... ready for the challenge?

 

[CC96]

In all seriousness though, Tippett's lost his damn mind.

Well, they haven't been released of their ankle bracelets as of yet.

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Sarah still doesn't have a spine to ask the tough questions.

 

[CBJ goalie]

Which "game did he win last time"?

The last game Smith played, he got pulled.
Is he talking about the last game Smith played against LA?

Edit: what do you see as my avatar?
I thought I changed it - when you click on it, it shows the one that I updated to (Burke in vintage retro), but when I post, it shows Bobrovsky - help?

 

[Matias Maccete]

Smith is in net because when they run him he'll punch them, lindback might not.

 

[Jakey53]

Yep, that DT doesn't know what he is doing.

I would have started Lindback, but I trust DT so let's see what happens. This is going to be a very very difficult game to win. Maybe by putting Smith back in might scare the ---- out of the players so they don't get too comfortable after last nights win. The old motivation/shock trick.

You have a point there.

Damn I had that reply queued up then scrolled down

If Smith throws a shut out, Tip will look smart. If he gives up 5 goals, not so smart. I hope Tip is right.

I think DT's patience is starting to run out with Smith. Maybe he told Smith it is sink or swim time? I think the Coyotes goal this road trip was try and get a split, so maybe DT is gambling a bit here after the win last night. I bet most thought we would lose both these games on this road trip.

So he is the sacrificial lamb for a game where our opponents will run the goalie and our good one sits on the bench?

Works for me.

 

[SniperHF]

What's funny is if you mute it and ignore the context that video is almost cool in a trying too hard sort of way.

Brown, Carter and Gaborik have yet to be a line
Muzzin and Doughty are not playing on a pair right now

If you're going to make a criminal joke at least get the line right

Agreed. I thought we would get zero points on this trip, so even if we lose tonight, the trip is a success to me.

Lines made in a GDT are always a guess.

Will watching this be more like Electroconvulsive therapy??
