Sorry folks, I was going to put more effort into this GDT before I had a date run for 6 hours tonight. We watched football all evening. On a first date. And it was her idea. I think I might ask her to marry me. Anyway, this one is not going to be particularly GIMPtastic. I'll do better next time.

Anyway, through a quirk of the NFL and NHL schedules, two Boston-area teams are travelling to North Carolina for games at the same time on Monday night, albeit in separate cities. Due to this confusion, the pilots took off from Logan and flew their respective teams to the wrong cities, forcing the Boston Bruins to play the Carolina Panthers on MNF, while the New England Patriots find themselves in Raleigh for a matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes. Fortunately, the Celtics did not have a date with the Bobcats, thereby avoiding complete and utter chaos.

Lineups

Carolina Hurricanes
Based on morning skate/ever-changing Twitter updates/guesswork in the bottom six

Ruutu - E. Staal - Bowman
Gerbe - J. Staal - Dwyer
Tlusty - Nash - Terry
Komisarek - Malhotra - Dvorak

Sekera - Faulk
Hainsey - Bellemore
Gleason - Murphy

Ward
Peters


New England Patriots

Amendola - Brady - Gronkowski
Solder - Connolly - Cannon
Mankins - Edelman - Ridley
Blount - Wendell - Hoomanawanui (just because of the name)

Talib - Hightower
Collins - Spikes
Ninkovich - Jones

The other guy named Jones
Blount


Injuries

Carolina - Khudobin, Westgarth, Semin, Skinner, Harrison?
New England - Dennard, Gregory


Patriots win 5-1. Ron Hainsey scores six goals. Bill Belichick bucks tradition, wears hoodie behind the bench.

Panthers win 77-3, racking up 900 yards of total offense along the way. Shawn Thornton kicks the lone field goal for the Bruins. Boston fans learn Patrice Bergeron can throw a wicked good spiral (their words, not mine), but none of his receivers can catch it.

Also, Adam McQuaid will not play due to a leg injury.

Tlusty - E. Staal - Semin
Gerbe - J. Staal - Dwyer

Peters

Amendola - Brady - Gronkowski
Solder - Connolly - Cannon

P.S. Patriots win 5-1. Ron Hainsey scores six goals. Panthers win 77-3.

That first line is going to shred us. :help:

That means we're getting the Patriots' backup goalie! Hooray! Guess I'll have to update the OP.

Good luck to you... but not too much. :naughty:

One would think, but I haven't seen any updates. I'll update it if anything official comes out, since that would also involve juggling the lines.

I didn't read through the last two GDT, but all of you hating on Gleason seem to be the guys that constantly ride Faulk's jockstrap. Has that subsided at all after these last couple of games?

Faulks had a couple poor games recently. If he reaches the number of poor games that Gleason has played in the past, then he will recieve the same treatment as Gleason is getting now.
