I hope Sacco rides the hot hand and goes with Korpi, he deserves it. Talbot's record is good, I hope the boys can muster some offence.

They don't really have many weapons other than Larkin-Raymond-Debrinkitty do they? Kane has similar numbers to E-Lind and Tarasenko hasn't been great. Yet they have the 5th best PP in the league. Should be an interesting riddle to figure out.

Hoping Kastelic keeps his mean streak going and Zad plays physical..let's go

Game 2 of good habits, lets go!

The Bruins' Ford Bronco Horse Power Play is going to rumble into its native city and run wild on the Red Wings.

Isn't it?

Hmm, well even if not, find a way to win anyway. Let's get a streak going!!

I go with Swayman ~ he’s a stud playing like a dud, but he’s legit and a good person. I admit if I was on that team and he was publicly going about his negotiations I’d say to my significant other and close friends on the team ‘STFU, you sound like an idiot’…. However, doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like him any less - I’m pretty sure I could give him a run for his money on not knowing when to shut his mouth in his 20’s.

Korpi should get a game a week if Swayman is healthy and on his game.

Healthy with Lindholm they are very good ~ 100+ team

Not buying they suck crowd

That they are 500 with a -20 goal differential this early is a miracle

They should be in a very deep hole
