I like this compressed schedule. Can we keep it?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Elvis finally goes in? If we play like we did in the third period of our last meeting we have a shot

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

Is a 60 minute game too much to ask?

Also, don't wander too much Elvis. Keep it simple and you'll be fine. Edit: Nvm - Korpi is in net tonight.

RIP Tex's productivity.

Matteau is in for Grigorenko. Wonder if Zach is hurt, a roster move has to be made.

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Well I think the "roster move" is either losing Carlsson on waivers or sending him to Cleveland. If Matteau is getting added he is simply taking the roster spot created by that move.

Either way, I guess Werenski was not "good to go" on Saturday.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Matteau over Bemstrom? Are you mad?

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Not feeling good about this game. J2F's keys to the game:

• Having more goals at the end of regulation
• Not letting them score goals

If we do those, we win.

With your second point, your first point could be simplified to “score a goal”

I guess Elvis not really ready either. How else do you explain rotating every game to no rotation if Elvis is truly healthy again.

 

[AppalachianFinn13]

Werenski traded for Barkov? LOL

 

[jepjepjoo]

Laine 6 goals and gets concussed in a fight vs Svechnikov.

 

[Columbus Jack]

I didn't even realize Stefan Matteau was still on the roster

Same. Stubbed Matteau when I read the news

Everyone is so secretive about injuries now EXCEPT COVID this year it seems.

no

Start with Roslovic-Laine-Jones and the worst OT team might all in the sudden be among the best ones.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

no

Sorry, that was bad. You have permission to ban me for a week if I pull something like that again

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Truth be told I can more than sympathize with your exuberance in just going for it.

 

[ViD]

Roslovic is terrible at face offs; he should never start an OT

 

[Fred Glover]

I didn't even realize Stefan Matteau was still on the roster

Neither did Stefan

Matteau over Bemstrom? Are you mad?

Matteau will play in checking line. One will be more useful than Bermstrom in there. Emil is skill, he would play with Texier, Bjorkstrand or Laine but not with Nash and Robinson.
By the way I`m enough suprised Grigorenko is out he played very good in the last game.
