Looks like Veleno is in for Kapanen tonight.

we need someone to get Dach/Bolduc going again...we don't win either previous series without their production

 

[lecoqsportif]

Bolduc has been basically ok, but that line is catatonic. Dach has no pace and Kapanen is just weak. Bolduc and Veleno could be disruptive, maybe Dach can pick up some garbage as the late man.

I would look to Owen Beck if Joey V. can't do that tonight.

he is better as a centre, he dies as a winger

Lane has to stick em

Needs some help from Dobson.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

I do laugh though how Carolina makes out like that is some secret sauce only they have figured out.

 

[CH1]

Needs some help from Dobson.

This! He can’t play with Struble as it forces Lane to play on his wrong side where he’s less effective and prob more prone to being smacked.

Lane is our best player — give him Dobson to optimise him

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Struble is out tonight anyway from what I can tell. He also got hit last game on the left side. In the end, once the puck drops, Lane is everywhere.

Struggles is a 6/7 D.

 

[Krustchev]

Chelios might light the flame tonight as per HFTV.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Struggles is a 6/7 D.

as is Xhekaj, our fan base spends too much time arguing over which of them should play, both are basically a rich man's Kent Carlson

now if Xhekaj lays out Hall, I will forgive all his foibles

 

[Hoiles]

But that’s not our players’ style of play….cannot expect guys like Cole, Slaf, Demi, Newhook, Suzy to change their style at game #99 of the season

That’s why our bottom 2 lines have been crucial in these playoffs

To win the Cup, some guys would need to do things they're not used to, someone like Slaf can get the odd rebound goal for that first line, all of his playoff goals have been nice skill goals.

 

[Habsy]

Struggles is a 6/7 D.

If you squint maybe. Not a D on a contender. He’s not long for a roster spot luckily.

 

[Habsy]

So how we feeling about tonight? I’m hoping Dobeš continues to not lose consecutive games. Also hoping that he stops taking stupid penalties. The last one cost us the game.

 

[east coast]

Hopefully it doesn't take us too long to score after we go down 1-0 in the opening minutes. And yes, those penalties (the others too) were truly dumb and we couldn't establish much push after.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Chelios might light the flame tonight as per HFTV.

Can he lace ‘em up instead?

If we can get in the 25 SOG range we'll win.
