Just because she put Blackwood’s name before Vanecek?
Color me extremely skeptical that he gets the start tomorrow night.
Although, I did think Vanecek would start the season opener and he did not.
Unless she has personal knowledge and has been briefed that he’ll be starting tomorrow night (which I doubt is the case) I really have a hard time seeing him get the start.
And I’m almost always the most paranoid person about him getting starts, but I really don’t think his next one is coming tomorrow night.
Highly doubt it. And I mean extremely doubt it.
Amanda just listed his name before Vanecek in the goalie pair.

Holy shit Amanda alphabetically listing Blackwood before Vanecek is no indication he's starting. Ruff pretty much lambasted him in last games presser. You guys have Blackwood on the brain, it's nuts.

Normally it’s me leading that charge, but I would be extremely shocked if he plays tomorrow, unless Vitek is not dressed for the game.
I even had to look up to see if tomorrow was the first half of a back to back and it is not.

And you don't have him on the brain? Sad!

I don't think they ever said what his injury was. I do remember a play where he was carrying the puck and had a bit of an open stance (kind of like Bratts crab move) and tried to scoot between the defender and the boards. He got hit there and I remember thinking ouch that looked like it hurt. He kept going with the puck and finished the 2nd period but didn't play in the third.

FWIW Amanda listed the goalies as Vanecek/Schmid on December 16, the day before we played the Panthers the first time and Schmid started the next day...the order on her practice notes means zip, zilch and nada (and also shows it isn't alphabetical lol...perhaps it's intentionally inversed to throw people off).

One advantage we're gonna have over our next two opponents is that both will be on the second half of back to backs, while we won't be.

it will help (I hope) . We need all the help we can get when we are having our hardest portion of our schedule where it seems like every team we play are currently on massive hot streaks . With 2 of our best D hurt and c only have one goalie -VV to rely on ( hopefully they call Schmid up ) .
Time to turn things around and beat these punks. We have the ability to do it . Back to dominating amd globetrotting teams.
Go Devils Go!

Pens won’t be on back to back but it will be 3 in 4 nights for them.

Sens with the win. Not sure if thats good or bad for us. Pisses the Bruins off or does it really matter? As long as they hopefully tired themseoves out as much as possible.
Hope Kenny Albert is on the call. We have an ungodly record with him. Something like 12-1-1. I use to keep track lmao.

No it doesn't.
Devils should be pissed as well since the Bruins were the last opponent they faced and they basically gave them the game thanks to Blackwood.

5 more days until they announce an official Bratt extension.

Ahhh you’re right. Read that wrong, oh well.
Anyway, no excuse not to take advantage of a Boston team that played in Canada and had to travel in from there the night before.
