so, with Kuzy out I’m guessing McMichael is going to play center tonight. If I had to guess, Backy to line 1, McM on 2.

[richkrt99]

L1 is gonna suffer without Kuzy.  Backy is a playmaker, but Kuzy got wheels Backy don't


I think the win streak might be over tonight.


I also think I get to watch on live TV

looks like we gotta wait until game time to get confirmation on tonight’s lines, the normal people that travel with the team did not go to Canada

[waynerivers]

Looks like the boys have put a little stiffness in their spines of late.  Tonight will be a good test to see whether this is real or smoke and mirrors.

What happened to Kuzy?  Man, he was smooth last game.

"Illness" 


But then there's this.. So I guess there's some hope he'll play. I still doubt it though.

"Illness" 

Had to "powder his nose"....again.

[Mickstix]

One of them "responsible" defensive forwards we picked up with the  clearing of the zone..

[alta]

maybe this pp can get the boys going

[alta]

[Mickstix]

Key save there Sammy..   


Yea, Kuzy is playing.

[alta]

whatafukinjoke, Willy got pushed into the goalie

[Mickstix]

Welp.. Killed one penalty and took another.   


This ones teetering on being over in the 1st period..

[Mickstix]

Time to regroup, see if they can make a game of it..

[HoustonCapsFan]
