Me too. I’m intrigued by Fasching with Lee and Nelson. I hope they get some traction, and I hope Nelson’s head is in the game tonight.I like the lines
They should tell the players the game starts at 8:00 so there ready for the 1st period9pm start? Might actually catch the first period
CZ, being able to skate and keep up with Barzal is a huge plus. Hope they can pot a few more tonight."Bailey-Barzal-Cizikas"
IDK why, but I've always pictured Barzal ideally playing with 2 LH wingers. Maybe it's because Denis Savard was a RH shot who played a similar style and his wingers were both LH? It shouldn't matter that much, but there you go.
Better chance of winning more D zone faceoffs when Cizikas takes those in place of BarzalCZ, being able to skate and keep up with Barzal is a huge plus. Hope they can pot a few more tonight.

2 bangers and a guy who can snipe.Lambert has used them before on occasion, when rotating lines. Some shifts stood out. We’re able to leverage their size and reach to forecheck and keep the puck in the zone.
Kind of poor man’s “Legion of doom” in their approach.
Just because Barzal is listed at center, doesn’t automatically mean he’s taking faceoffs.If I read the projected lineup correctly, Barzal is centering with Cizikas playing wing.
While I’m still a big fan of Barzal, how on earth do you keep him in the faceoff circle while Cizikas is on the ice at the same time? As I write this, I’m guessing that’s already happening since Barzal has only taken 1 faceoff in each of the last 2 games.
Faceoff stats this season:
Barzal 31.2%
Cizikas 54.6%
Barzal can still drive the play while staying out of the circle assuming there’s someone else on his line like Cizikas that’s good at the dot.
I like that combination with them playing together. Now if they only had a sniper alongside them.
Lol… There’s a joke, alternative band name or a porn title… or all three in their somewhere.2 bangers and a guy who can snipe.
