[Old Guy]

I hope we cream those punks.

Korpi or Bob starting today?

 

[We Want Ten]

No grabovski, good. That guy has been tough on us this year.

Asking for fantasy team or scoreboard watching?

Harrington is in. Someone must be sick. Hopefully not Savard, Werenski or Jones.

Looking at Porzline's tweet I think the plan was for Harrington to play in 1 of the games this weekend. He mentioned he's only played 14 games and his last game was on Feb 9th.

 

[The Jones Zone]

If it's a healthy scratch likely Nuti......doubt he wants to play two rookies on the third pairing

 

[The Jones Zone]

#CBJ D Markus Nutivaara will sit to get Harrington in the lineup. Tortorella: "I need more from Nuuti."

 

[major major]

Good, I think Harry deserves to play (based on his play).

 

[CBJx614]

I'm just glad we have enough capable dmen that when we need to sit one we're not freaking out about the guy replacing him.

 

[MAHJ71]

Man this 1pm start is coming smack dab in the middle of when I'd like to be napping off the entirely too much green beer I had last night

Strange, I wonder why he wants Saad and Atkinson on Gagner's line?

Is he telling them he wants more?

 

[EspenK]

MF'n NHL Network...This is really starting to p me off. Now that the Jackets are good if they show up on national TV 10 or more times the value of nhltv is diminished. I don't understand why one pay serve trumps the other?

During the post game interview of the Florida game, Torts talked quite a bit about almost changing up the lines during the game. Guess he decided to mix em up today and see what he gets. Looking forward to seeing Wennberg and Bjorkstrand together again.

 

[MAHJ71]

Looks like Islanders have about 300 in attendance today.

Agree. I can understand if the game is on NBC, ABC, etc, but we pay for it on NHL.com.

 

[The Jones Zone]

4 minutes into the game and Isles announcer still hasn't figured out Cam isn't playing with Dubi and Jenner....keeps calling Atkinson when Anderson plays the puck

****ing NHL Network

 

[UNDBluejacketsfan]

For a afternoon game time I like our start. Guys legs are moving. Just gotta keep up the energy.

I guess you'll have that when they haven't paid any attention to the CBJ up until now. At least he didn't say Jean Luc Grand-Pierre.

NBC Sportscaster Liam McHugh was on XM Radio this morning, talking about what a shame of a likely 2nd round matchup of Caps/Pens. Not considering they may meet in the first round or one might lose to CBJ.

Savard caught up ice again.

Let them. I want to be the underdog, we don't need the additional pressure. Plus to be the best, you have to beat the best.
