As soon as I post this, this info comes out.



So it looks like Walker is coming back in

 

[johnjm22]

Kopitar/Vilardi/Amadio up the middle is too slow of a center group.

 

[Bandit]

Woulda sat Maatta over Strand. Also it's a crime against humanity that Perron is on the top line of an NHL team.

 

[johnjm22]

It kind of feels like we're playing an actual meaningful game. That hasn't happened in a long time.

 

[yankeeking]

The game as advertised on NHL Network, any idea if it will be blacked out

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Someone posted a jinx thread on the main board, so 4-0 loss inc

Its a righty lefty deployment

They have Tarasenko and Schwartz out of the lineup. They have an excellent forward roster when healthy

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I love walker back in

I wish Strand could stay too though :/

Strand's size would be very useful vs. the Blues.

Strand over Maata all day for me too.

Strand is a better D man and that hard crisp first pass! I think this is because they are "pot committed" with Maata

Maatta is left handed. Strand is right We have drew roy and walker there as good as strand is no room. We are not going to play him off side

 

[DAkings20]

Walker should suit up in this

 

[HookKing]

I want to see Wagner, AA and Kupari together. Those wheels will burn some rubber.

Strand looks like a registered sex offender. The possibilities for him are endless

If it is on FSW, it will be blacked out on NHLN

no thank you. Wagner with AA alone would be a nightmare defensively. Would be hemmed in the D-zone the whole shift and not able to showcase said speed. Than you through in a rookie. I am very very big on kupari, but I hope he slides to Vilardi's wing when the time is right.

Agree to disagree. AA's been fine defensively and I've seen nothing to indicate Kupari is a liability there.

 

[kilowatt]

If Strand gets sent down to help out the absolute nightmare that is the Ontario Reign defense, I'm all for it. I just wish we could bring Clague back up. I think putting Anderson back with Roy would be the best move here. Let's ice this defense:

Bjornfot - Doughty
Anderson - Roy
Clague - Walker

Also, can we photoshop that potato over Amadio's picture on his lineup card? I'm tired of seeing his stupid face.

Iafallo - Kopitar - Brown
Kempe - Vilardi - Carter
Grundstrom - Kupari - Moore
Andersson - Lizotte - Athanasiou

 

[Kurrilino]

Can someone with some insight explain me the move to send Kupari to the taxi squad?
Did someone make a statement?
Seems a little bit like a head scratcher to me since Kupari played excellent in Ontario

Nobody knows. Apparently the taxi squad is where you store your best prospects for a few days for absolutely no reason.

 

[Telos]

They get NHL pay while they are on the taxi squad so I doubt Kupari is complaining I am hoping he gets a game though.

 

[Bandit]

Those powder blue St. Louis uniforms are real nice.

Reign are off for the next 5 days. Kupari is traveling, and more importantly practicing with the Kings on the road trip. They are preparing to insert him into his first NHL game, which will likely happen on this road trip.

 

[Bandit]

These crap uniforms they’re wearing tonight however... puke.
