no information on lines yet, one site speculates they will be the same tonight as last night except the starting goalie. Makes sense I guess, Lavi can't bench the entire team.


and I don't think these people understand what a double date is

You are right....who want's a double date that is really a back to back?  What fun is a dating back to back?  :huh:   It's supposed to be a beast with two backs...not the other way round.



Hopefully the Caps show up tonight.  I missed the last two games so I'm ready for some hockey. 


GO CAPS!!!

Vrana is a healthy scratch tonight.

Vrana is a healthy scratch tonight.


I assume Panik will play LW, and who replaces Vrana on PP2

Wilson....or Sprong.....Or Eller or Sheary...


Depending on who else is on your PP at the time  :raspberry:

Sheary Baby, I'd imagine.. Maybe Eller? Fuck if I know..

Never thought about it, but do they use a center on PP2? If Ovie is double shifted. Orlov, Schultz, Ovie, Wilson, Vrana.  :huh:


** They've also got Eller listed as the 1C tonight. Kuzy and Nicky moved down to 2/3 line C.

Vrana is a healthy scratch tonight.
    I'm fine with Vrana being scratched. I'm probably his biggest critic.
But I think this would have been a good time to give Chara a night. 2nd game of a back to back and with his recent struggles would have been a perfect time to rest him.

was waiting for the NHL to give an assist on it, 74 from 20

     They have called a few softies. Got to be honest, I think both Devils penalties were a complete joke. The goalie interference call, Chara clearly pushed the guy into Vanecek. And the high sticking penalty I think Ovie sold it. Didn't look like the stick hit Ovi.
      I wish the refs would let them play and call the obvious penalties.

   Speaking of BS what do you guys think about Chandler Stephenson getting a 3 game suspension for elbowing just after McDavid was only given a fine for an elbow on a play that was a deliberate attempt to injure.
     Don't tell me the NHL doesn't protect the stars.

Lavi needs to shake up the lines again, before it's too late. Hags Hath Dowd is the only line that spends any time in the O zone.

Post by: Chaos43 on Friday April 02, 2021, 09:34:37 PM Eastern
   For fuck sake. Why is Dowd in on 3 on 3?
I need it's for faceoffs reasons but he lost the faceoff anyway.

      Ya I missed the last minute of the overtime. The wife decided it was a good time to let the ferrets out of the cage and cause shit. One of them climbed up the tv stand snuck behind the tv and decided to unplug the power cord from the tv.
       When I got the tv back on we were celebrating the winning goal.
