Forgot to put the blue GDT tag on the thread / if a mod doesn’t mind fixing that as I can’t seem to do it via my iPhone.

Also someone leave a wake up call for the maid to kick my ass out of bed at 5:30 AM so I can watch this one.

Looks like Marody might have a hill to climb, seems the rookie games actually mattered

 

[Llamamoto]

I really hope Draisaitl plays tonight.

Edit: He's not playing...

That looks like our AHL lineup except for the 3rd line. That 3rd line looks like guys who are vying for spots on our 4th line. I imagine our top 6 in Bakersfield will be

Jurco-Marody-Currie
Benson-Mcleod-Hebig

Also excited to see what Samorukov can do in a structured environment.

Id imagine theyre saving Mcdavid and Draisaitl for the home games

Jurco and Currie are 2 of the better wingers on this group.

Looking forward to seeing Jurco, Marody, Benson, Gambardella, Samorukov, Bouch and Bear.

This is a home game

I think they’re saving him for the end to hopefully get the whole first line into a couple games together

Umm I guess you live in Vancouver?

Kind of get the impression that it will be pretty hard for Benson to make the team. Seems like they already expect him to be in the AHL.

Seems like Tippett pretty high on Cave and P. Russell.

 

[Raab]

Little pump up for the guy Im excited to see. My only concern with Sammy is his skating, we'll see if he can keep up.

 

[PinSeeker]

This really on TV? Sweet.

Oops, I read the post not the title.

The post says Vancouver @ Edmonton

 

[NedPlimpton]

I wanna see some Jurco.

Yamamoto?

Poor Bear. Getting saddled with Manning as a partner sucks.

 

[North]

Yamamoto?

He’s still not cleared to play yet.

 

[McDNicks17]

Manning will be better than Russell and Benning.

Book it.

 

[NeverForget06]

Interesting to see how Starrett does, put up some good numbers during that run last year but if memory serves me correct Skinner was in for a few playoff games?

Also that Samorukov - Bouchard pairing will be awesome to watch. We really haven't had this many defensive prospects in recent memory

 

[Raab]

Yamamoto?

Not sure where he ends up. I guess it'll depend on how his wrist heals. COuld maybe snag Hebig's spot, but Hebig has looked good from everything Ive seen.

 

[North]

Stranger things have happened. I hope he worked on his skating during the offseason.

Yeah Starrett had a couple of bad games towards the end of the playoffs.

 

[Faelko]

I’m over the Manning/Caggiula trade. I would like to see Manning do well and be a #7 Dman. Maybe he can even up his value to the point they can get an asset for him.

 

[guymez]

If he has then he might be a decent #7 dman.
