Expecting a loss since just because we’re ‘due’.

All aboard the win train. Keep on chugging

I much prefer posting in here rather than the tank threads

Hopefully nobody gets stuck in San Jose over Christmas.

Poolman can't be in can he?

No they probably need to call up Bowey or Brisebois.

Abbotsford just played in San Diego and don't have to play in Henderson until the 18th, so it's convenient to get one to the big club.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Let's get this bread!

I noticed Rathbone and Woo were both out of the Abbotsford lineup. Are they with the club?

No, both are injured, I think. It will probably be Bowey - although I suppose Brisebois and Sautner are options, too.

Updated the OP based on a guess.

And because of that incredibly outstanding D- Just wow

 

[Pacific Canuck]

Have to think that the Taxi Squads should be back at some point.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Let’s go for 6!

Eh? Why are we putting Motte on the top line?

Having flashbacks to the "blender" method of making lineups?

That is going to be tough for the A and ECHL.
But what is more important is the salary cap. How do you manage that as Carolina is playing 2 short tonight. Originally down 4 but got emergency cap relief to bring in 2 players.

The lineups always have the Horvat line as the top line for whatever reason.

But assuming that's the third line, it's not a bad combo IMO. A play driver like Horvat with two guys with non-stop motors should do quite well.

Motte started beside Bo last game, but got switched after a period. Dickie looked better on that unit tbh. But to be fair, the entire team looked a lot better so not sure if that says anything about the fit of Motte vs Dickinson on Bo's flank.

I do feel Dickinson has played his best hockey since being moved to the wing, which matches up with scouting reports when he was acquired.

 

[Canucks LB]

We want 6

 

[Siludin]

I am looking forward to seeing a motivated Pettersson against old teammate Dahlen. I think both players will be giving their best effort; it's an understated story.

Flashbacks of that mustachio gentlemen who thought Megna and Chaput with the twins on the topline was a 200 IQ move.

What makes it the top line?

It's on the top of the list.

It's on top of the list.

So that’s how it works, eh?
Thanks.
