Go! Go!

I hope Tuch shows their nets some love tonight and Wednesday. I've come to like New Elite Scorer Alex Tuch.

ETA: We need to know Stone's status. My wife saw one list this morning (of best top lines) that showed him DTD. But that certainly would have been conjecture. I'm hoping DeBore was being honest and he doesn't have an injury that affects his play or ability to be played.

Speculation Pietrangelo could be out for a while after blocking the shot last game and leaving.

This and the Stone injury feel like opportunistic chances to get veterans rest and give some young guys some action. I'm sure others will follow once we get past 30 games played and a playoff spot is all but locked up.

Any updates on Lehner? Will he even dress tonight?

Good luck getting info on that. PDB thinks other teams are going to figure them out if they do something as common as tell you who's starting each night.

Seems very likely MAF is going to start next two games and if so they won't take Lehner off the LTIR just to have him be a backup. If they did the logical thing Lehner starts on Saturday letting MAF get in one last week of every other day starts before getting more regular rest.

Sounds like no Pietrangelo or Stone tonight as per Emerson. Still no word on who's in net, or who is the backup goalie.

I would imagine it's MAF starting and Dansk backing him up.

We'll see how they do without Stone but I'm expecting them to come out flat.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Yup Fleury in net as per David Schoen.

If it's even a close game tonight, it's because of Flower.

I hope they remember Rau 'accidentally' skating into MAF in the last minute

I feel this is hyperbole. Even without Stone and Pietrangelo the Knights lineup looks good side by side to theirs. It definitely hurts and we could lose but a win won't surprise me.

SOG 5-2 MN, including a VGK PP with no SOG.

Now 0-1

Can't wait until McNabb is back so we can go back to doing cap gymnastics to protect Kolesar.

Vegas has had bad firsts before. It doesn't change the fact that we could win this. Play this game ten times and I don't think Vegas gets blown out in the series.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Shots now 8-2. Turnover after turnover after turnover. Hyperbole indeed.

When you are 16-4 better to not push your injured players back too quick.

But if we want to be Cup contenders, we really need to do something about the third line and the power play. The rest is top-notch.

I agree. This isn't a must win game. I think watching Holden and Coghlan together might give the Pietro haters a new perspective to what he brings.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Kolesar sets up the Wild goal and then puts his great chance straight into the goalie's chest. That about sums him up as a player. There's at least 3 guys in Henderson that are better NHL players.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Baby Duck is back!

 

[Pia8988]

Vegas needs a new PP coach.

 

[willy702]

Vegas needs a new PP coach.

Or head coach or "President of Hockey Operations", but that's another story...

 

[IceNeophyte]

Wild Bill line wants to play hockey.
