[Bologna 1]

not gonna lie, wouldnt hate a low scoring loss with a solid performance from blackwood. want isles to keep pace ahead of bum ass sabres in playoff race.

 

[New Jersey]

I really wanted to go to this game just to have another opportunity to go to Nassau...

Then the season went to hell and the idea of going to the Island tonight seems beyond f***ing ludicrous.

Seems like a game that can get out of hand quickly

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Lovejoy and Wood out tonight

[Better Call Sal]

EDIT: Bested!

Is this the first Lovejoy-less game we've had this year?

 

[None Shall Pass]

Not gonna lie, I'm excited to see Mueller and Santini both in the lineup. Wish they were on separate lines, though.

If it was a stat, we'd probably lead the league in games that get out of hand quickly this year

i couldnt disagree more, f*** the islanders. Theyre above the Rangers right now for me in hatred (only because theyre doing well)

f*** them go Buffalo

**** them go Buffalo

For me ... only because their fans are obnoxious.

 

[Azathoth]

I guess that’s one way of getting mueller and Santini in the lineup.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Go Blackwood!

 

[New Jersey]

For me ... only because their fans are obnoxious.

what fans?

seriously I don't care how bad their arena situation is, you would think they would actually be coming out to watch them. Every f***ing comment about us not selling out when we were good, to which the Islanders' fans respond, "hold my beer."

We're outdrawing them by approximately 3,500 right now.

 

[My3Sons]

This is just a test run for what the lineup will look like after Calgary trades its first round pick for Lovejoy.

Do it.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Mueller and Santini should both be starters on this team. Finally we'll see it.

 

[EliasFTW]

Bring back ANIME!

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Mueller and Santini should both be starters on this team. Finally we'll see it.

what has Santini done to prove he should be a starter?

 

[BenedictGomez]

what has Santini done to prove he should be a starter?

Nothing given he barely plays.

Of course, that's the same answer to the question, "what has Santini done to prove he shouldnt be a starter?"

Santini has looked shaky in his chances while Mueller hasnt

Mueller has proven he deserves a starters spot with time as he excelled in a top pairing role with Vatanen before he was moved for some random reason we all dont know. Santini was beyond shaky when he got his top pair chance

and yes i know top pair chances arent the end all be all, but Santini has never looked that steady and I was a huge fan of his. Im on the Mueller train now as I think its unrealistic both are here beyond next season

Do you mean both as in both are gone, or one of them is a goner. I'm hoping the latter and also that it's Mueller who stays.

i meant one is gone by next seasons end, we have too much promising youth as well as current roster dmen and possibly an acquisition this offseasons to fit both long term
