Just a heads up, it appears Live threads are disabled currently. Unless that changes by tonight, no live thread.

get the Flyers on a back to back with their backup and at home... Would be a nice night for 6. Not a "must win" but fairly important game for the wildcard race which is something we haven't been able to say at this point in the season for awhile

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

I was supposed to be at tonight’s game but had a work thing so I moved it so I don’t know what that means the universe will do with our chances of winning

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Not gonna lie, my confidence level in tonight just dropped.

wtf why is tarasov playing.............. flyers are 1-5 when they play back to back

That's probably why. Pretty much the plan they laid out and likely how the whole conditioning thing was agreed upon after apparently rejecting the idea earlier

Crazy that they let Tarasov control the situation. we are coming off 3 days rest, play your starting goalie.
reminder scott Wedgewood went for a 6th round pick.

If that's what happened, that's pure speculation. Obviously they need a 2nd goalie playing and they probably had this game circled knowing back to backs have been a struggle and it's also a team with questionable at best goaltending

I assume they are hoping it sets the table for him to win and his build confidence. But my confidence level has sunk knowing he’s in net.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Tarasov shutout incoming.

yeah makes sense. imo these are the games we need to win, we have already dropped two games against the flyers.

Tarasov isn't controlling anything. He was sent down for a conditioning assignment over the weekend, the writing was on the wall that he would be playing ASAP, why else would they send him down?

lol that would be awesome.

just doesn't feel like this is the best move for the team. but i get it. tbh i put a big bet on blue jackets to win before they announced the starting goalie. my emo were spiraling

I don't see this as him controlling the situation. They had a plan to get him some game time and this could be his last chance to find his way into the lineup. If this fails then maybe we move on.

Not sure how reliable it is, but the espn app has Elvis listed as day-to-day.

i didnt see anything on his injury. saw on Instagram he was having beers with Voronkov, Marchy, Prov and Texier

i agree, just want them to make the playoffs lol got to worked up.

Pretty much my read on the situation.

There's obviously a strong sentiment in the FO that Tarasov has the potential to be a good NHL goalie so they've been unwilling to cut bait. While tonight might not be "do or die" for Tarasov with the CBJ, I gotta think that it's the 11th hour for him.

If he puts in a good performance tonight, then the CBJ goaltending waters remain muddied for a while longer.

Need to finally beat them, they tend to always play well against us. Tarasov needs a big game.

Don says he likes it when players make it hard for him to make decisions.

Sorry for the dumb question but what are Live Threads?

Our next nine games are Flyers and Sharks @ home, Rangers and Isles in NY, then Leafs and Canes back to back on the road, Kings at home and then Knights and Utah back to back on the road. The first half of that stretch seems like the far more winnable games plus they are mostly in our division looking up at us and the back half is pretty brutal. Maybe it's not a must-win but thinking we need six points out of the first four games if we want this nine game stretch to seem like we came out OK.

No dumb questions.

Live threads are when you post (usually in GDTs) and rather than your browser refreshing the page, it just instantly posts. It’s a lot easier to see reactions in real time and get your posts out faster.

 

[Monk]

With the recent downtime it got me thinking...what's our/your backup plan? If HF suddenly disappears one night, do I.. go to Reddit? Where will you go?

 

[DankoCBJ]

Cmoon Boys, let's finally win against Philly!!
