Oh wow. No Boro would be a dream.

Hope they get Brown into this game. Been almost 2 weeks since he's seen any game time. Boucher can at least shelter him on home ice.

[Sun God Nika]

I f***ing love those pairings!

Is it bad that I want boro to play because I need hits and Pims for my league?

Looks like they're taking a page from the 'ol NyQuil School of NHL Coaching.

[NyQuil]

Yeah, that penalty differential is something.

We didn't really talk about it but it was weird having an advantage in the number of calls, particularly given the scores of the last two games.

You'd think the refs would throw a couple our way with the score out of reach anyway.

Some Flames fans I know think they are still being targeted with one sided refereeing due to the Wideman crosschecking the ref incident.

With the crackdowns on slashing and faceoffs, it's hard to get a good sense of what's going on in that department.

Some Leaf fans think their team gets marginal calls while they miss all kinds from the opposing team

Hoping they continue with the 11-7 approach its working why change it? Boro is playing awesome right now, keep his confidence up.

I do think there is a distinct benefit with going 11-7 is that the top forwards end up playing more. I also think they could swing Boro up to left win on the 4th line while he crashes and bangs.

Ryan Brassard Stone
Smith Turris Dzingel
Hoffman Pageau Pyatt
Boro Thompson Burrows

Phaneuf Karlsson
Oduya Ceci
Claeasson Wideman
Boro

Makes for a very balance/versitile lineup.

 

[Agent Zub]

Oduya-Karlsson
Claesson-Ceci
Phaneuf-Wideman

Is in my opinion the most balanced defensive lineup we can ice with the current group.

Every fan base thinks this don't they?

I don't put any stock into the defence pairings or lineups at practice, we have seen numerous times that GB changes things up for games or shortly into games. Hopefully, they have another good start tomorrow night. It wouldn't surprise me if he contiued with 7 defencemen either for this one, given that this is Karlsson's first game back & nobody knows how long he will be able to play & that the team is winning with this formula.

 

[The Lewler]

w0000000t dat EK65 GOAT is back.

Easy W.

Or total letdown as everyone stands around waiting for Karl to do it all.

Either or. But with Boucher running his psychological profiles I imagine it's the former.

 

[BondraTime]

Boro has been great thus far the year. We should definitely be dressing him right now.

11-7 seems like the way to go right now.

How long has it been since we had the ability to shop a D because of an over abundance of quality? It's extremely comforting.

A week ago, we had no 1st pairing and the sky was falling.

The margin between surplus and scarcity is so thin in the NHL.

I remember our 3 goalies and then having no goalies.
