Voracek looks absolutely cooked through four games.

 

[ViD]

Going streaking ?

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Jackets with a 3-1 win in the second period

Lose 4-2 in OT

Voracek looks absolutely cooked through four games.

He won the puck battle that lead to the OT winner.

 

[ViD]

I’m surprised that Tarasov is not starting

 

[Monk]

He won the puck battle that lead to the OT winner.

That's a pretty generous description imo though not technically wrong I guess. The pass was good tho.

It was a 1 on 1 battle and he won it. Credit where it is due.

For reference here it is. Like I said, you're not wrong. Just generous

Looks like a good play to me. Not sure what you're getting at.

 

[majormajor]

I'm not sure what Lars is trying to do with those middle two lines.

I don't like KJ and Sillinger together but if you're going to do it, then why not with Danforth who they scored with on Tuesday.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

I’m surprised that Tarasov is not starting

Why? Elvis is the starter and it's not like it's the 2nd night of a back to back or he needs a rest right now.

 

[DarkandStormy]

He won the puck battle that lead to the OT winner.

Have you watched the other 62 minutes he's played this season?

Just let that play be a small step in the right direction. He wasn't that bad in that game.

 

[Monk]

It was a fine play. It didn't feel like a step in the right direction to me since he barely had to move to win that "battle." At least relatively speaking. If he's Chinakhov in this sequence does he make it down the ice and get the pass to Gav? Dunno.

 

[ViD]

They will mix it up a bit three more times during the game as usual

 

[I3LI3]

why not stick with what worked for the final 35 mins or so of last game?

splitting werenski and blanks up? sigh

 

[MAHJ71]

Rimer on The Point/Sirius NHL Radio today saying he thinks Laine is back next week.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

It seems like the Preds have owned the CBJ forever, even after we left the Western Conference. I've gone down to Nashville for a couple games, will never get that I like it, I love it, I want some more of it crap out of my head.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

I’m surprised that Tarasov is not starting

I'm not.

 

[CharlotteJacket]

Would like to see Johnson get his first and get some momentum going for him.
