I hope they give Lack the start, the old Manitoba Moose fans would get to see their former goalie all grown up.

They really need to give Luongo a night off. Playing him three games in four nights was just stupid personnel management. Anyone that's watched Luongo for any period of time can tell when he's a bit off his game (juggling pucks, a bit slower on reads), and he has been for the past week. He could use a couple days off to work with Melanson and get back on top of his game.

I'm not sure I'll watch this one. There are probably a couple million more enjoyable ways to spend a Friday night than watching this team butcher another hockey game :laugh:

Give this one to Lack. I think Luongo is suffering a bit going from a long layoff to playing every single night. Give him a break and let Lack keep his feet warm.

Reduce minutes for the top2 lines, and share the ice time. Get the 4th line involved. At this point, the only this team is going to win is by outworking opponents - and that can't be done using 2 lines against 4.

I expect Lu to start...

Daniel, Burrows and Kesler should all each be on separate lines.

Human eclipse,
Rhinoceros hips,
Who will laugh last,
When I slash your calf,
Bring me peace,
Make it cease,
Get your big ass outta my crease

No Hank, Santo or Bieksa. Ew, our team sucks lol. The Jets are surging under Maurice so we're probably gonna lose again. If PHX beats BUF tonight, they're only 1 point behind us for 8th with a game in hand. Woo.

Maybe Daniel Sedin, Kesler, Edler, and Burrows decide to show up for this game.

Edit: May as well throw mention them all

D pairings?

Dan Hamhuis - Yannick Weber
Alex Edler - Jason Garrison
Ryan Stanton - Frankie Corrado

Thought Weber actually played really well last game but I have no idea if he could handle tougher matchups and minutes than he's used to.

It's funny how close this is to our actual lineup. Main difference being that our "1st" line simply gets 4th line minutes :D
