[SergeConstantin74]

Just win.

 

[Chippy11]

Hopefully we can have a fruitful Californian trip. We all know how that usually go.
I follow Domi on insta and they always seems to have a blast on the road! Less visiting and more winning!!

 

[Runner77]

LA is a bottom 3 team in the league. Do we really have to play Price AGAIN? If you have no confidence in Niemi, Lindgren has to get called up.

 

[Runner77]

They seem to be doing everything to avoid using Niemi. He does have the worst stats amongst second goalies in the league so there is reason to be wary.

Why not simply send Niemi down for a conditioning stint and get someone from the Rocket to fill?

... and this is why we should've picked up a backup at the deadline.

I would have just given Lindgren a few games first. Hes been great in his short sample.

Drouin practising his air flow in the background.

 

[Tuggy]

Just get the two points. 1-0, 8-7 whatever...I don't care.

Lots of scoreboard watching before this game even starts:

Car @ Bos
Clm @ NJ
Ott @ NYI
Flo @ Pit

 

[David Suzuki]

I always forget how late these games are jesus. 11:30 my time. I'd love to pretend I'll go to sleep early, but I'll probably wind up staying up

Price doesn’t play= 3 road losses

Why would we care about OTT/NYI?

 

[Adam Michaels]

For some reason, I thought it was the Sharks tonight and not the Kings.

 

[PaulD]

Yep.

But who excpects GM in Montreal to be good at the job?

 

[Tuggy]

Why would we care about OTT/NYI?

Only 4 points behind the Islanders.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Big game tonight! Go Habbies!

 

[Saundies]

Playoffs are going to come down to the last game or two. Only thing we can control is how many games we win, so let's do it.

Coming out of Cali with a winning record would be insane, even with the West being terrible this year.

 

[peate]

Definitely going to need a nap sometime if I want to watch the whole game; unless the score gets out of hand, and if Price is unable to play, it might.

GOGO ​

Arpon Basu saying Drouin will play with Kotkaniemi, albeit with Armia on the other wing.

That will be very interesting to see, could be a future fisrt line pairing with Kotkaniemi and Drouin.

Well, that's a mistake. Byron clicks good with Armia. Drouin means less o-zone time for that line.

Yeah because the offense is going so well.

If Byron and Armia click well (so far it's a very small sample size), I'd rather see them with Danault.

It's important to see Kotkaniemi with offensive players. Will they suffer defensively? Time will tell. Kotkaniemi will make mistakes from time to time. But overall he's solid defensively.

I'd go


Tatar Domi Shaw
Drouin Kotkaniemi Gallagher
Bryon Danault Armia
Lehkonen Thompson Hudon/Peca (Peca's good with Lehkonen, Hudon was good with him last year)

I like it Armia along with jK provide the defensive responsibilities. JD is free to do what he does best (gamble offensively) JD has to be the shooter on this line- get open and KK will find him.

I assume Byron-Domi-Shaw is a line. That one could be good too. I like the Domi-Drouin duo offensively but splitting them probably leads to better team D
