GDT: Looney Tunes - Canes Vs. Devils 11/8/16

[Boom Boom Apathy]

We must be looney to watch this team. Canes Line-up, (revised after Joe's post):

Injured:

Healthy Extra D

Healthy Extra O

EDIT: Figured I better put Canes vs. Devils in the title, otherwise people might confuse "looney tunes" as an ELECTION GDT.

What's up doc?

 

[Joe McGrath]

My friend in high dated a crazy girl in high school. We called her Looney Tunes.

 

[Garry Kane]

who will replace faulk?

 

[The Stranger]

who will replace faulk?

Someone really good.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

who will replace faulk?

I think Justin Falk is available.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

who will replace faulk?

My guess is:

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Beep beep.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

If Faulk can't go, my "guess" is it would be:

Slavin-Pesce
Hanifin-Murphy
Hainey-Nakladal

Or

Hainsey-Slavin
Hanifin-Pesce
Dahlbeck-Murphy

 

[Stickpucker]

Slavin-Pesce
Hanifin-Murphy
Hainey-Nakladal

Or

Hainsey-Slavin
Hanifin-Pesce
Dahlbeck-Murphy

It will be a treat.

 

[Joe McGrath]

The accuracy of those lineups, if I'm inferring the correct players is amazing.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

My guess is:

Man, I hope so. When this dude takes the body, he takes the body.

Thanks. Some of them were easy, but I started running out of characters so struggled with a few (like Stalberg and Lindholm).

There were few wrong choices for the Skunk, but I thought I you did well.

Hainsey, Hanifin, and Murphy are too perfect. Jordan too for that matter.

ha ha. Jordan was obvious. And Nordstrom had to be the Chicken Hawk, who seems to be stuck to Foghorn's side no matter what.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Skinner-Rask-Lindholm
Nordstrom-Staal-Nestrasil
PDG-TT-Stempniak
Stalberg-McC-Aho

Slavin-Pesce
Dahlback-Hainsey
Hanifin-Nakladal

Ward

That 3rd line might actually make some sense. Flip Aho and Nordstrom (which will happen in the 2nd when they are behind 2-0) and I don't hate it.

The D makes very little sense. Opening on the PP for a RH shot? Bench Murphy. Just trade the ****ing guy if you aren't going to use him offensively. He was never in the lineup for his defensive game.

Pesce is my personal favorite.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Thanks Joe. OP updated with correct line-up. Added the injured/scratches.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Pesce is my personal favorite.

Just a lunch pail sort of guy, gets the job done without even being noticed. First character I though of when I thought of Pesce.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I'm hoping that with Nakladal, it's rust and getting accustomed to a new team / new system. The times I saw him last year, he looked decent and from everything people have said about him, I expected he'd be decent here also. No practice time, visa issues and joining the team mid road-trip, only to be thrust into the line-up can't help.

Last season Peters/Smith mentioned their system is difficult for vets/older players to adjust to, which is why the younger guys were having quicker success. Might play a part as well.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Oh my sweet shiny Jebus. We're playing Dahlbeck *and* Nakladal?

Let's round up some 10 year olds.

 

[Unsustainable]

I would put Dahlbeck and Nakladal on the bottom pairing, might work like a double negative.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Unless Hanifin looks really terrible, I expect 4 defenseman to play the final 15 minutes of the game is at all close.
