Twerk is something you do not something you are, sire. ie; "Polak treally twerked that pole"

My bad, I do enjoy coach's posts from time to time and wish HF had an auto-translate upon hover feature, for e.g.

(sigh). Crosby hasn't scored yet? hoo boy

 

[PromisedLand]

Just throw 34 out against 87 and 91 against 71

Roll the bottom 2 lines and let Naz dominate

would prefer to see JT line against Crosby line and Matthews line against Malkin line. Malkin line is susceptible to defensive breakdowns and I would love for Matthews to eat them up alive.

and ofcourse I am expecting Naz to show up and eat lesser competition tonight

Yea, he is having a nap after the long haul flight.

Babcock continually makes bad and/or odd decisions with the lineup. I wouldn't be so quick there. He has a track record since being here of taking forever to make easy changes that fans have been calling for.

Unfortunately it goes back to his Detroit days. The guy just can't stop himself from falling in love with low-skill, hardworking players who he plays on his top lines. Think Dan Cleary, Brett Lebda, etc.

 

[DearDiary]

Here's a crazy thought, is this the best center depth to ever play in a game? Thinking of comparables, nothing quickly come to mind. It's a STUDfest tonight, my word. Very easily 4 hall of fame potential centres tonight.

Yzerman+Federov vs Sakic+Forsberg

 

[dangomon]

Yzerman+Federov vs Sakic+Yzerman

Wait, Yzerman played against himself in a game? Freakin impressive.

 

[SnizzNasty88]

I hope we absolutely pepper Murray, I think he's garbage, he's a sieve. Let's light him up tonight.

Sorry, I meant to type Forsberg

It doesn't mean that.

 

[Mr Hockey]

Babcock is getting criticized for flipping the #12 and #13 guys in the lineup ...

 

[BertCorbeau]

(sigh). Crosby hasn't scored yet? hoo boy

Crosby hat trick incoming

 

[PuckMagi]

I know, look at how long it took this year to replace a Ennis on the top line, or mix up the 3rd line, or decease Hainsey's minutes.

How long did it take him to figure out Kapanen was better than Martin?

last time, try understand this ... Martin was a "role" player on a developing team, leafs weren't a legit contender until now.

 

[Coachcorner]

Am I glad Frederik's bezack. He truly one of our saviours and doers (getters). We needs him real hard. Sparks played aaight, but he needs a real food inside of him. Looks a bit shady and honky at times. (Lean). But andersen... damn that man has some muscle and bulk. Mayne he hard. Looks like the calm guy could even fight if needed. But he steady and calm, no need to alarm.

We are crushing these fools real badly tonight! That merkonom team doesn't have a chance against us if they play like they did against van. That 5 on 5... mayne they was like just waiting on powerplays and for the pony to come rescue. That was some weird dirt right there. We are faster and wanting it more. Also our fools like matthews want to show crosby who's the real boss nowadays. He likes to compare his rear end to the other guy's wealth and greed. Don't even underestimate the other guy's greed. We still in it, tavares will want to show his too to the (past good penguins, cup wise). We are the truest and the hardest, still needing josh anderson or boone jenner though. But that's another dirt for another time.

When your cap payroll is going to be so top heavy, cheap but skilled ELC players will be the key to filling out the rest of the team. Why would they inflate Kaps value when they have a player at +2m that can play in that spot? Same reason people are concerned about his success now with Matthews, before we get him inked to a "3rd liner" valued contract.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Riikola is a name ?
Thought that was a lozenge.

Martin played a lot late last year didn’t he? I love you guys, Dermott, Johnsson cracked the lineup too last year on an already very young team. You nitpick here and there and can’t see jack shit in totality. Martin was benched and is gone. Polak gone. Komi didn’t even get back in the playoffs, he stuck with Johnsson. Anyways, doesn’t matter everyone is smarter than one of the best coaches this organization has ever seen. Cue the rest of the masterminds...

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Maple Leafs centers could unseat Penguins as best in NHL, Malkin says

obviously it would be better to get this from Lars Eller, but still nice

Meh, who cares what Eller, Malkin and Crosby have to say. I wanna know what Garret Sparks thinks.

 

[DarkKnight]

This should be a great game, if for nothing else the matchups!
