GDT: Team Carey @ Detroit Red Wings

[sandviper]

Like the pros, creative juices aren't flowing off a back-to-back:

Probable Lineups:
Max Pacioretty - Phillip Danault - Andrew Shaw
Alex Galchenyuk - Cap Space (or DLR -- both have zero points this season) - Paul Byron
Charles Hudon - Tomas Plekanec - Brendan Gallagher
Nicolas Deslauriers - Jacob de la Rose (or ???) - Byron Froese
Daniel Carr (likely on 4th)

Karl Alzner - Jeff Petry
Joe Morrow - Jordie Benn
David Schlemko - Jakub Jerabek
Shea Weber

Carey Price
Antti Niemi

Last game:


Cup Watch: A win tonight puts the team in a playoff spot. We'll ignore the fact that Bruins, Wings, Sens and Panthers all have games in hand...

Please come back, Shea.

Great GDT though!

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Schlemko looked pretty good last night

 

[Tuggy]

I assume Niemi tonight?

Would be pretty neat to win the next two games.

Love the OP. Cap space isn't looking worth its figure.

 

[PhysicX]

Waiting to get an update on Drouin's situation. That would really hurt us. With Drouin and Hudon possibly out, Carr and Mete would play... Who's centering Galchenyuk's line?

Michel Langevin believes it's confirmed. No Drouin tonight.

i think "cap space" should be given a chance

Can't do worse than De La Rose.

The Habs are also only 4 points behind the Pens and Caps (wildcard teams). Pens just lost Murray for what could be a long time and the Caps have been up and down this season.

Lots of season left...

 

[Tyson]

Damn Drouin, did you really forget your passport? Odd. I would think teams kept them all together to ensure this never happens

 

[PhysicX]

LBI for Drouin. Confirmed by Michel Langevin on 91.9Sport

Too bad we traded Mitchell. He could have centered Galchenyuk...

Honestly, I think we have a better shot at finishing 3rd in the Atlantic than landing a WC spot.

No doubt. I was just pointing out that the WC is not that off.

1 point behind 3rd place in the Atlantic. I think that's the most realistic spot, possibly 2nd place is Toronto slides.

Oh yeah, I like our chances more fighting for a spot with the Atlantic teams over the Metro.

But fighting for 3 spots is better than 1. And honestly, I'm not completely sold on the Devils or the Islanders.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Schlemko looked pretty good last night

He did!

He looked a lot smaller than I thought he would, but he was skating very well and moving the puck nicely.

 

[Simarino]

With Drouin out, i would go with:

Hudon-Chuck-Gallagher
Pax-Dano-Shaw
Carr-Plek-Byron

 

[WinterLion]

Go Carr!!! Kid deserves this!

 

[Censored Toad]

" is capspace under fire"

I literally burst out laughing in my cubicle !! Well played!

I'm loving these people magazine spoofs!

 

[417]

De la Rose scores tonight

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

De la Rose scores tonight

Are we talking about after the game?

 

[417]

Are we talking about after the game?

Nah he scores a goal tonight, and not against his own team lol.

For whatever it's worth, I've found he's played better in recent games, I know it's not much, but he's been strong on the PK, and been excellent back checking.

He needs some confidence, I think there's more there to be honest...

With Drouin out, i would go with:

Hudon-Chuck-Gallagher
Pax-Dano-Shaw
Carr-Plek-Byron

I'm not sure i would touch the Hudon line..they have been playing very well of late.

Patch-Danault-Shaw
Hudon-Pleks-Gally
Carr-Chucky-Byron
Deslauriers-DLR-Freose

I'm guessing that is what we will see...at least I hope the coach does it (Chucky at center i mean)

 

[DXStriker]

Amazing GDT lol

I am assuming Niemi which apparantly he has killer stats vs DET but these are games that are really important .
I would rather play Carey all of this week then play Niemi next week
