I expect Carolina to be motivated since we beat them a few days ago. 9-2 Canes

Makes sense that DarkandStormy would make the GDT with the Hurricanes lol

Most likely a loss but I hope they play hard for the crowd that shows up

Didn't even notice, even after thinking it looked different.
Thanks for helping out!

Looks like Larsen took Johnny off KJ's wing so he can finally drop KJ's icetime to ~10mins. Sillinger line gets ~10mins too, so I bet Johnny-Roslo-Laine is about to get like 24mins of icetime.

But it's normal that young players don't get high ice-time right away (especially Kent). Their organism have to get used to more effort, much more active play. Yes. Many of the older ones are not nearly as talented, but physically they are ready. I'm sure they will play a lot more next season.

I'm rather unhappy with Fix-Wolanski against Carolina. Dunne who can also play on the wing would have been better. He could play wing in Kuraly's line Foudy in Sillinger's lines.

I hope we see 13-91-86 some more at some point

That’s the right decision for the tank

That’s the right decision for the tank

Lars has such a knack for tanking that it doesn’t even look like he’s trying.

I swear to god I am changing my Larsen poll vote to "move on" if he sits Boqvist again. The whole patience speak wont work when the guy is in pressbox

Alright the man scrathed TFW and went with 7D. Bold move but I'll stay in the "ride it out" camp for now..

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

^^ That was effective. Have we found our Lars whisperer?

 

[Cowumbus]

This game is CRITICAL

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

If we win this game, we'll look at this as the game that cost us #1OA.

 

[Vapaatunnus]

Not good, 1-0. Nice shot though.

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

0-1 CAR Pesce. Top shelf, hard to say how much Korpi was screened but there was plenty of traffic going around...

 

[VABUCK]

Korpisofty

 

[KJ Dangler]

Blankenburg got crunched ..going to take a lot of luck for him to stay healthy unless he changes how he plays

 

[Vapaatunnus]

Patty or Johnny will score tonight. They are both trying to do things.

 

[ViD]

Gaudreau sighting

If they did it every night…

 

[Cowumbus]

Is that not interference on Olivier? Feel like Necas got rid of the puck a decent bit before he was hit..

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

Lol what a joke.

 

[LJ7]

That blows my mind
