I'm thinking our 3rd period letdowns are just slightly related to the icetime distribution.

I'm thinking our 3rd period letdowns are just slightly related to the icetime distribution.

I've been saying that for a while. Shortening the bench means less energy, means dumping the puck instead of attacking, means constant pressure against us, means tiring out the defenders even more.

Hard to fault Boucher for shortening the bench with all of Dido, McCormick, and Chlapik in the lineup, but even considering that, I think he needs to get more mileage out of the kids if he wants to continue to be successful.

Going to be hard to play a fast team like NJD on the back end of a back to back where we shortened the bench so much last game, and can probably expect to do so again, all the while as the team fights a flu bug.

 

[TeamRenzo]

This could be a tough game tonight.

 

[GWNR]

They're coming off a week break.

We're coming off a big win, but have to fly to NJ.

All signs point to an L. So we probably win in a SO or something nuts.

Just win.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Is SMith back?

 

[NyQuil]

With the state of our roster and the amount of hockey we are playing, I'll take any points I can get.

 

[Cosmix]

The Sens are coming in on one wing and a prayer for this game. Missing MacArthur, Ryan, Turris and Smith; second game in two nights; opponent well rested and lying in wait; flu bug going around. A rationale man says a Loss is likely.

 

[HSF]

easy win for the sens

 

[branch]

Devils are going to start coming back down to earth

 

[ToastrStutzle]

I hope I'm wrong but all signs point to a blowout loss. Let's hope for a bit character win tonight!!!

Just win.

Actually, the 5 day break usually leads to a loss, I recall reading last year at some point in the season that nearly 80% of teams coming off of their 5 day break lost.

Fantasy Talk - Condon expected to start?

No. I think Anderson will. Condon played against Las vegas

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Will Boucher be using a different 3 players tonight than he did last night to keep them fresh

There was talk of subbing in Rodewall for someone.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

3 games in 4 nights vs. a week rest.

Bleh.

 

[Eb]

No. I think Anderson will. Condon played against Las vegas

Thanks.

Do you mean LA?

 

[Engineer]

Thanks.

Do you mean LA?

It's almost certainly Condon, Anderson played last night against PHI, LA was three nights ago.

 

[God Says No]

Yeah, I fully expect Condon in net.

 

[tony d]

Good win for us last night. They're playing good this season. Should be a good game between 2 good teams.

 

[Back in Black]

Fully expect a SENS Win. A week off, is hard on a team!

Oh, and just over 7 1/2 hours to g0

 

[HSF]

win tonight and we move ahead of the 2018 Stanley cup Champs in the standings

 

[Blarginator]

We should call up Batherson. 4 point night guaranteed!

You're right
Probleme is 3rd game in 4 nights and missing 4 top 6 might be tougher
Karlsson Stone Hoff and Brass have to come up big and Condo needs to redeem himself and steal that one for us
We can relax after that one with MTL on monday
