Kind of hoping Karlstrom plays over Rads.

 

[The Tourist]

After two periods
Score Dallas 3-1
SOG Dallas 23-16

After three periods
Score Dallas 3-2
SOG Vancouver 30-28
One near heart attack for The Tourist again

Bring on the 3rd period turtle and the win.

Vancouver has outscored us 9-5 this season in 2 games. We just don't seem to match up well against them

Gonna say the Canucks win this 5-2. 2 empty net goals. Game-winning goal will come with 4 minutes to go

 

[BG44]

We'll find out later today that they flew into Vancouver early so they could restart the dinners at Gaglardi's tradition ... and those tomahawk steaks from last night fuel them to victory today.

(Kiviranta/Peterson) I guess they both haven't been great in their last 5 and you want to plug them in and hope for good things to happen?

but hey:

I want Kiviranta to be good, but how long do we invest in that as a possibility?

 

[Satan]

just win baby

 

[catters078]

Stay out of the box. Theyve killed us on the PP

 

[Troy McClure]

The other big lineup change is moving Studenic up to the second line with Benn and Seguin and putting Gurianov on the 4th line with Radulov and Jareyouevergoingtof***ingscoreagainK.

 

[Troy McClure]

Calling up Karlstrom and scratching him is a very funny move.

 

[Kcb12345]

Calling up Karlstrom and scratching him is a very funny move.

You'd think they'd want to play him against the weakest opponent on this road trip. I don't think Nill and Bowness are ever on the same page about call-ups though, and more than likely, barring a couple of injuries, Karlstrom won't see a game.

At least he isn't one of our young prospects but still, why not try something different on that 4th line, what you have hasn't worked all season (unless Peterson is on it!)

 

[BG44]

Calling up Karlstrom and scratching him is a very funny move.

It's definitely odd with healthy bodies.

I don't understand carrying 8D and 2 extra forwards right now.

He's not done it this year oddly, but Nill is constantly talking about how important games are for development and specifically playoff games in the AHL. Texas is back in freefall again having fallen to tied for last place.

Just seems like it would make more sense to have the guys that are eligible playing in the AHL right now fighting to get back into 5th rather than healthy scratches.

Dallas has almost never carried waiver-exempt guys as healthy scratches for an extended time with Nill at GM. I can't honestly think of an example.

 

[BG44]

Joel Effing Kiviranta was never going to live up to the hype, but he's turned into effing Joel Kiviranta every time I see he's playing now.

I'm hoping they do him a solid and try and find somewhere else for him to play next year.

And why keep Harley up if all he's doing is sitting in the press box?

 

[BG44]

And why keep Harley up if all he's doing is sitting in the press box?

So you know what's a little funny .... DeFranks apparently interviewed Nill about Bourque, Johnston, and Stankoven. The plan is for them to join Texas when their season is over which is a little laughable. The way things are going, All 3 will still be in the first round when Texas is potentially eliminated.

So he's thinking about Texas, but I wish I was as confident as him they're getting back into 5th. Their schedule is rough, but they do thankfully have 2 games against the 5th place time. That's the only potential saving grace.

 

[BG44]

Sekera coming in tonight. Lindell out with an illness.

 

[Troy McClure]

Lindell can’t go because of mud butt. Sekera in.

 

[ugrakarma]

Sekera - Hakanpää can't be worse than Suter - Hakanpää, or I at least hope so.

 

[The Tourist]

Sekera-Hakanpaa moving the puck out of the dzone will be fun to watch.

 

[The Tourist]

Gurianov about to get benched lol

 

[Kcb12345]

Hintz always goes to the bench after awkward looking falls. Always makes me nervous

 

[MrHeiskanen]

What are these lines?

 

[ugrakarma]

Radulov's pass started it all?
