tonight will be Wilson’s 700th career game

Not bad...he's not even 30 yet.  Imagine if he'd not missed all that time with injures and "suspensions"

[richkrt99]

Did Strome/Milano/Phillips line do anything last game?  Get any good looks or anything?

they didn’t get scored on, but I don’t recall them doing anything spectacular

[Mickstix]

No line but the 3rd did anything in the O zone. Nothing. Not even sure their goalie needed a glove or stick vs any but the 3rd line. Ovi played the fewest minutes in his NHL career, not counting injury or suspension. (3 PK and 0 PP contributed) but yea, nothing scary from anyone but McMike, Protas, Mantha..

Invisiible mostly, what has happened to Strome?

[alta]

I’m seeing conflicting information on tonight’s lines, looks like maybe NAK is out and Lapierre is in. The problem is this would shuffle three lines.

[Mickstix]

No help here. Haven't seen anything about tonights game.

[capsfanpdx]

I don't think they would change lines on back to back?

[capsfanpdx]

Zadorov to Canucks.  We should make a strong play for Lindholm......

[alta]

Lapierre is in, Phillips is the scratch

[capsfanpdx]

Lapierre is in, Phillips is the scratch

good, hope he doesn't play center

[alta]

good, hope he doesn't play center

3rd center, at least to start the game

[Mickstix]

Interesting. Guess Protas and Milano got demoted. Im sure Carbs won't hesitate to reunite the line if the new ones don't click.


If they can somehow get Kuemper through some shots before he lets any leak in, we may have a shot. He usually comes alive, but not before we're down multiple goals.


edit: Just saw the Sonny, Lapi, Protas line was clicking before Thanksgiving.
