That reference escapes me, but as I'm watching Caps at Rangers right now (Washington feed), it's extremely refreshing to be able to watch some hockey without continually being tortured by Santiago, Veektor and Grandma Florence.

(If for nothing else, for these 3 ads Bally Sports deserve to go bankrupt. I thought that lame ads like that were only possible in Soviet Union rather than in Southern California.)
Link?

I would probably reunite the Grundstrom-Lizotte-Lewis line. They were awesome the first quarter of the season. Hopefully they can re-kindle that.

Fiala-Dubois-Byfield is the best combo Dubois has been a part of all year. QB makes up for PLD's deficiencies.

Pretty much anyone you put with Moore and Danault does well. Moore-Danault-Laferriere is the highest rated line combo we have (82.4%).

That leaves you with

Arvidsson-Kopitar-Kempe
Moore-Danault-Laferriere
Fiala-Dubois-Byfield
Grundstrom-Lizotte-Lewis

RV works well on the top line IMO. Good F1. Good at puck retrieval, setup and all around complimentary play.

Do not do the 11F 7D. We need 4 quality lines.

Arvi had a brief stint on the top line in that small sample they did not mesh.

I like the line 3 and 4 here as they have steadfastly refuse to move PLD to wing , as I want.
.
No way I break up Arvi with Danault and Moore they are both offensively and defensively very good.

Money in last game, saving bigger embarrassment.

In my book they are just lucky to face Edmo instead of Stars.

That's not true at all.

RV-Kopitar-Kempe had an excellent 72.7 xGF%

Moore and Danault were better with Laf than they were with RV.

Maybe historically, I was referencing one game a couple weeks ago.

That was a pretty small sample with Laffy on Danault line.

I think Hiller has it right, you don't break up what is working with the Danault and Lizotte lines.

You adjust the 2 lines that are not working.

Roll 4 lines whoever is hot gets more ice time, Is a good strategy

But what she did is she CHALLENGED veektor to meet her halfway.

Edmonton vs Los Angeles
4th best offence (3.56) vs 3rd best defense (2.63)
10th best defense (2.89) vs 16th best offense (3.12)
last 10, 4-4-2 vs 6-4
39 RW vs 37 RW (regular season OT is too different from Play Off OT to count)
records since the all star break (45% of the season and 48% of the season)
20-12-5 (.608) vs 21-12-6 (.615)
Special teams
PP% 26.3 (4th) vs PK% 84.6(2nd)
PK% 79.5(15th) vs PP% 22.6(11th)

This will be a much closer series than most people think.

So it'll only go 75% this time around?

Don't worry, our dumbassed coaches will be happy to let McDavid and Draisaitl stand 5 feet from the goalie on the goal line and bounce pucks in of Roy's balls all series long.
I dont wanna cause no trouble but what r your thought on the PLD trade?

Love him. He’s BFF’s with Byfield, has his little bitch moments and gets himself involved in scruffs. Doesn’t score, pass, back check, or cycle well enough but he has a great personality!

I know exactly what's going to happen. I have little hopes right now in this series. Excitement level is so low and expecting the worst. So the Kings will win tonight or Game 2 and thus pull me in. I'll be full blast into it and excitement level thru the roof for a few days. Maybe even go ahead 2-1 or 3-2 in the series. Only to then get blown out the last few games and exit in the 1st round yet again.
Rinse & repeat.
