per Lavi this morning... “Wilson will serve as an alternate C tonight”


which means OV or Carlson, or both, won’t play tonight






it is exceedingly rare to be able to get all that information this early in the day

Scoop!  There it is!

[Mickstix]

Probably going with "an abundance of caution" since we locked in last game.. Hopefully they get Ovi back before the playoffs start.

[Chaos43]

   I just heard that Lavi is messing with the lines again. I think I heard Oshie and Sheary were switching lines.

Morning everybody   

[Mickstix]

Get the puppies ready Lil.. We got a long night ahead of us! 

[Mickstix]

Oh and FUCK Jarry.. Ok? OK!

[alta]

yea, lines 2 and 3 were juggled a tad, at least to start




and it's the winless blue sweaters tonight

[Surreylily]

Get the puppies ready Lil.. We got a long night ahead of us!

[Surreylily]

Bugger.

also, the radio is 106.7 tonight, which means it's about 20 seconds behind the tv broadcast

[Chaos43]

   Both dmen jump in on the play and Hathaway falls flat on his face.

[Mickstix]

Yay!    And the stupid blue sweaters to boot.. To think I started drinkin' an hour early for this..

[richkrt99]

Well I’m listening on radio and it doesn’t sound good
How donthey get a 2 on 0?

[Mickstix]

Every single time Lavi shuffles the lines pre game, it takes 20+ minutes before we look half way competent.. They're gonna force me to the "thing" aren't they?     

[alta]

Well I’m listening on radio and it doesn’t sound good
How donthey get a 2 on 0?

it was 2 on 1 when rust shot the puck

[Surreylily]

Well I’m listening on radio and it doesn’t sound good
How donthey get a 2 on 0?

Ummmm  Cos it's us against the Hens?

[Chaos43]

     Read my post. That's how it happened. Hathaway was covering for Schultz and he tripped on the blue line.
