For God's sake don't get hurt!!!!!

 

[Seidenbergy]

For those with really young ones, this is the game you take the kids to and tell them it's the Stanley Cup Finals.

 

[Spooner st]

Great idea. They can hurt themselves crossing the street.
So go for it. Get the rust out.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Any idea if it’s GA or seats?

 

[HockeyMomx2]

They 're all wearing bubble wrap, yes?

Thoughts on lineups? Without Black Aces I would guess:

Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak
Nordstrom-Kuraly-Acciari

Krug-Carlo
Grzelcyk-Clifton

Halak

vs.

DeBrusk-Krejci-Backes
Heinen-Coyle-Johansson

Chara-McAvoy
Moore-Kampfer

Rask

PP units kept together for the most part (no DeBrusk on top unit, but I seriously doubt they'd put the top 2 lines on one team).

"with two referees on the ice to officiate play."

So this is what they are doing with the shitty refs now.

How to handle a 10-day playoff layoff? Set up a fake game,...

“We’re looking for compete, and we’re looking for pace,” explained Cassidy. “We’re not looking for players to blow each other up. We’ve had good practices, but this will be a little bit different.”

The white and black teams will be divided between the top lines vs. the checking lines. This season’s version of the black aces — callups from AHL Providence — consists of six forwards and three defensemen and those players will be split between the two teams, which are composed of three lines each. Tuukka Rask will play for Team White, while Jaroslav Halak will be in net for Team Black.

Cassidy explained that individual players will decide how much ice time they want in this scrimmage. Zdeno Chara, who missed Game 4 of the Eastern Conference final due to a nagging injury, is good to go and will likely participate in the scrimmage.
There will be on-ice officials, and at certain points different special-team scenarios will be integrated, including four-on-four situations.

The biggest concern, of course, is the chance of injuries.

“That’s one of the inherent risks of this,” admitted Cassidy. “This isn’t a physicality contest out there. It’s compete on pucks, play with some pace, be respectful of each other; no different than practice. We have some (moments) in practice where we ask guys to establish body position and not running each other. That’ll be a challenge, but we have a smart enough group and we’ll relay that message to some of the younger guys that we’re doing this for a reason and the reason isn’t to injure one another.”
To keep things a bit interesting, the winning team will receive some sort of reward.

He's still pissed about the sweep.

"with two referees on the ice to officiate play."

So this is what they are doing with the ****ty refs now.

We need to recycle.

I mean this is better than a preseason game which is charged the same as a regular season game unquestionably. It’s a nice bone to die hards who can’t afford 600+ for a ticket but wanna get another look at the team in person. And will help the guys stay sharp more than a similar skate at warrior.
