Need to capitalize on a weaker Devils team.

Devils 2-8-0 in the last 10. We played a physical game last night but if we had to pick and choose a team in the East to face on a back to back, it would have to be the Devils. Won't be easy but if they just work hard for the first 2 periods, they will be able to grind out a win by the time their legs get tired.

we will lack polak?

I think Polak will be fine. 5 and a game was enough for that hit.

If Mcelhinney is playing, he may win or lose us the game. We just need him to play average by his standards and we should be alright.

Yeah, don't think he gets suspended. If he does DoPS doesn't have any credibility. Although, him being suspended isn't bad news, it's a back to back and Polak skates slow as it is, wouldn't be opposed to having some fresh legs.

Hunlak would certainly be lacking.

I agree, he was actually making an effort to get the proper angle and than the guy turned. But Polak is always good for a couple of boneheaded hits a game.

Hurt or from the hit?
Can't imagine a suspension for that.

 

[ACC1224]

That would be a shame. After all the panic about him playing yesterday, the 4th line was a big part of the win.

Hes having a hearing with player safety this morning, so its possible.

Minor loss though. Sosh would probably draw back in. If Polak is out, Marchenko will be in.

Didn't know that. Any reason why we can't comment on last nights game?

I don't want to take this off topic for others. This should be about tonights game.

Personally hope Polak is suspended the rest of this sesason. Our shot rates would skyrocket without him in the lineup.

Also, the 4th line is really not good (especially with Fehr, woof). Maybe they didn't get scored on, but they were getting lit in our zone because there is no way they should be matched up with a real line like Jenner - Dubinsky - Anderson, or even Hayden - Toews - Panik for that matter.

If we win this game though, solidly ahead of Boston. Love the way this team is going.

1st goal by Columbus was all on the 4th line. They were OK, I guess, but far from great. Come on! They were finally benched in the later part of the 3rd period.

Guess it's perception, I thought they were great, maybe expectations are too high.

Didn't Fehr get hurt late in the 3rd?

Really the whole Team was great, hard to find fault anywhere.

Polak's threat of a bad hit isn't a bad thing.

Otherwise the defense is soft and without bite.

He's actually behind Martin and Kadri for penalties.

Leafs 4th line was a factor last night physically dominating the opposition with their size and strength..

Fehr helping kill off a 5 min major PM was huge reason why Babcock dressed him for exactly that potential reason, and it contributed to the win.

Its too bad he got hurt, because Fehr with Martin and Boyle is a load for any team to handle.
