[Elysian]

Absolute must win, I'd posit.

 

[Ratbath]

Klingberg tied with lindell in points this season (lundkvist too)

 

[Smelling Salt]

Absolute must win, I'd posit.

Honestly, it is. While any team in the NHL can win on any given night, if you're a top team you absolutely CANNOT lose to these shitters

 

[piqued]

I swear to God we just played another team with a Megna on it.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Hopefully this one is worth staying up for, last night wasn't very good. Is it worthputting Dellandrea back with Benn/Johnston and Marchment back with Seguin?

 

[roryjones]

Is someone going to drop the gloves with playoff tough guy klingberg?

 

[catters078]

I think Seguin does need a playmaker on his line. Kivi and Dellandrea are good energy and forecheck guys but lack playmaking ability.

Id think about flipping Wyatt with Dellandrea

Marchment-Benn-Dellandrea
Kiviranta-Johnston-Seguin

Would at least try it in the coming weeks see if it adds anything.

If it struggles, we will need to get another play maker at the deadline to play 2nd or 3rd line Wing.

 

[BG44]

Why would you mess up the 2nd line that's actually playing well?

If they do something, it should be subtle unless they're planning on calling someone up. It's time to swap Kiviranta and Olofsson just to see what that looks like.

Breaking up an effective line is not the answer.

 

[TangoMcBride]

Bring in Vrana on a cheap deal after the Red Wings buy him out.

 

[LT]

Bring in Vrana on a cheap deal after the Red Wings buy him out.

He can't be bought out until the offseason. if his contract was going to be terminated, we'd already know.

 

[JeffP]

When does this one start again? 11EST?
tfg there's US v CA wjc

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Stank and Canada embarassing the USA again, what else is new.

 

[BG44]

Gurianov is taking warmups, but he isn't expected to play.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Goodbye #34 trade deadline is coming soon.

 

[BG44]

Goodbye #34 trade deadline is coming soon.

If things were to go the way they should, I'd bet you were right, but I have a hard time believing that is what Nill will do.

I do think Khudobin's days are numbered. He's playing well enough that someone will pick up an injury or get antsy about their #3 role and take him with his playoff history and the fact he's playing well right now.

 

[Elysian]

Should be Hanley for Suter.

 

[Troy McClure]

Gurianov likely a change of scenery throw in with any deadline trade.

Should be Hanley for Suter.

Suter will never be scratched.

 

[BG44]

He’s likely a change of scenery throw in with any deadline trade.

That's the one way I see Gurianov moved ... if they legitimately go shopping and need the space. They don't have much to go shopping with though because the 1st is gone and they're not moving the Big 3.

I just don't think they're going to move him, even though they should to help create some maneuverability.

 

[Elysian]

Suter will never be scratched.

Well aware.

 

[ugrakarma]

Suter shall remain forever itchy.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Ah yes, after Suter lost us the last game play him more minutes this game.

Surely that is a good idea.

 

[Elysian]

Miro+Suter pairing, the stuff of nightmares.

 

[ugrakarma]

Wedgewood!
