Perfect hockey-watching weather today. The outdoors does not beckon.

Spidey, oh how I've missed thee. Deliver us to the promised land.

Mojo missing in action. Like he has been since the season started

At this point I'd like to try:

Line 1
Wood Zacha Anderson
Coleman Zajac Noesen
The leftovers

This is a good idea.

Spidey for the win!

And another early game which is excellent for us people across the pond.

I agree! Hope that’s what we see.

Pumped for Joey! Let’s go!

Oh no, you make all very good points, I don't disagree with any of it. I'm just saying the fact that every single game out of the last 30 or so last year, someone would always say this is a MUST WIN. We won a good number of them, but not nearly all of the "must wins" and still made the playoffs. I just got so sick of seeing it every game for some unexplainable reason, I was looking forward to getting through a good chuck of this year with out it. At least just through the rest of 2018.

i get it. let me re-phrase, i should’ve said it differently (it’s early lol). this isn’t a must win in terms of making the playoffs, it’s a must win for a young team at a very critical juncture. we had better be desperate for 2 points, and we’d better get them. LGD

I think effort is much more important in this game than the result. We put together a good effort against Nashville after two terrible games in a row, and we can't slide back into poor effort against a team we should be better than.

He should be better but almost every game he sets 1–3 great scoring opportunities for his linemates. It's not his fault that they can't put the puck in the net.

I really hate how we're playing Rooney. That guy sucks.

 

[TrufleShufle]

Anybody still doubt he is injury prone?

Anybody still doubt he is injury prone?

I know seriously... if Michael Jordan could play a playoff game with the flu, why can’t MarJo play while he’s sick?

 

[Ripshot 43]

I know everyone agrees with me but I still want to say again that I wish we had an early afternoon game every weekend

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Anybody still doubt he is injury prone?

Because he caught a bug?

 

[My3Sons]

Anybody still doubt he is injury prone?

Are you referring to MarJo? He’s got some sort of illness.
