[Johno]

Since it is second game of B2B, is it wishful thinking that Schlemko gets a chance as "rested body" or do they just roll with the winning roster?

Could replace Benn, tho he and Demers have played rather well lately so

It should happen, but not holding my breath.

 

[Primetimey*]

I wouldn't put him in yet, just got with the team yesterday.

 

[TrillMike]

I'd let him sit tonight and get acclimated with everyone a bit more in the plane/meetings.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Apparently game is only on 570 AM KLIF tonight. Never even heard of that radio station.

 

[beepeearr]

On the Radio side, TV will be on NBCSN. Guessing the Ticket will be covering nothing but Cowboys today

 

[Dr Pepper]

Not liking the looks of that Hawks lineup.

Hopefully Lindback can play a full game. That's all I'll hope for.

 

[aloonda*]

so the only feed we get is the nbc blackhawk scumsuckers?

great


hoping that the 570 simulcast is timed up with the tv---or I will just be listening to music while watching

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

On the Radio side, TV will be on NBCSN.

Yea, that's what I mean. should've specified.

Guessing the Cowboys game will end sometime in the first period or right after.

Thank God this isn't a home game.

 

[dechire]

Sometimes I forget that Lindback exists and then I see his name listed as a potential starter for tonight and it's the saddest thing I can imagine

 

[Alistar]

We can't do anything about the circumstances, I just want to see a good effort from our boys. Even if they play a perfect game up to their maximum potential Chicago may still come away with the win.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Even if they play a perfect game up to their maximum potential Chicago may still come away with the win.

As we saw in the first game of the year when we absolutely dominated them and still couldn't leave with two points.

 

[Johno]

Might be a good idea, but Demers did pretty well jumping right in. Traded Nov 21st, played Nov 22nd (scored too).

 

[FrailSwan]

BKenn pic makes this thread too stronk.

Perfect timing to put us on national TV. 2nd night of a b2b in Chicago right as people are hearing we're hot. Just in time to see us caught tired and against the team that loves to blow us out.

 

[MetalGodAOD*]

Sounded last night like Ruff was leaning towards starting Kari again. Loss either way probably, might as well let Lindback try.

 

[piqued]

Kari only faced 22 shots, go with him again.

 

[RastaRockett]

Let's make it 8 goals tonight.

 

[Noodletoro]

Sounded last night like Ruff was leaning towards starting Kari again. Loss either way probably, might as well let Lindback try.

With Kari playing as well as he has lately we might win. With Lindback its a guaranteed loss.

 

[Dallasman]

It should happen, but not holding my breath.

Why should it happen? We're winning...

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Why should it happen? We're winning...

So because we're winning we should never make changes?

Dude is fresh and ready to play after we let our 3rd line D pair skate over 20 minutes yesterday. Don't see a problem with pulling one of them out and inserting him in on the back end of a back to back.

I'm with you. Put some pressure on Linback and let Kari enjoy his two big wins.

 

[NukeJukes43]

If we win with Lindback in tonight, that will cause a lot of opinions to change over night. Including mine. If we can play like we have been and beat Chicago with Lindback in, that will be a huge boost to overall morale.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

I'd be happy with a point really.

 

[Stars90]

If we get a point I'll be ecstatic. Two and I may have a heart attack.
