Can't afford to spend one of the remaining 13 tonight.

Hopefully the lines above showing Johnson in goal are correct. Johnson is having an atrocious season with stats approximating Lindback's.

 

[seafoam]

Yeah, Johnson will probably get the start.

 

[seafoam]

Also, Grabovski blocked a shot last night and didn't return. Expect Bailey back on the top line, and Clutterbuck back in on the fourth line.

Today we will play against legendary goalie Johnson. Guaranteed defeat.

Do you guys think Mcelhinney will start?

 

[Samkow]

Do you guys think Mcelhinney will start?

Supposedly, he's hurt. I really doubt it.

 

[DarkandStormy]

Can't *iss this one away like Phoenix and Toronto.

 

[ndd17]

If Mac hurt, from Falcons need recall Forsberg. Maintenance day does not mean that he has some health problems.
I bet Mac will start today.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Bob has had plenty of rest lately from being pulled a couple of time and a game off. I bet Bob plays tonight. This is also an important division matchup.

 

[TheOllieC]

Hopefully they show up tonight.

 

[13th Floor]

I HOPE it is the battle of the back ups, because Johnson vs Bob does not bode well for us at all.

Love your guys team, and I'm hoping this is a good one. Here's to an injury free game. Also congrats on the Bob signing.

Cheers!

Bob seems to bounce back well from bad games, wouldnt be suprised to see him in net. And with the way Mcbackup has played i wouldnt mind if he played either.

 

[MAHJ71]

Definitely will be interesting to see how we respond with little rest.

Porztline thinks Bob will be in net - saying he's 10-2-0 with a 1.83 GAA and .942 save % against the NYI.

If i could make the lines chaput would be back up to center the 4th, Boll would be scratched, Skill and Collins would drop to the 4th. Morin to the 3rd, Wennberg to RW Letestu to the 3rd.

What has Collins done? Boll is great on the fourth line and is great throwing his body around for hits.

 

[CBJx614]

Yeah he throws his body around, but he misses his target more so than he hits it. He loses the puck quite often and doesnt contribute offensively.

Absolutely nothing but Collins can be sent to Springfield in a second while we have to pay Boll 1.7 million. They're both useless

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Bob, Tropp, Prout in. Skille (Injury, 2 weeks), Goloubef out

One of the things I like to keep track of is who loses the puck each shift. Boller loses it way too much for how little he gets it.
Also checking the glass doesn't count.

We aren't getting anything for that 1.7 mil whether Boll is in the AHL or NHL. The salary doesn't matter.. not financially, maybe in terms of respect to the player.

 

[blahblah]

lol, great start

 

[Samkow]

 

[aRussian]

Great start. We look like we could do some serious damage in the playoffs if we can even hope to make it that far

I was just admiring the center ice ASG logo and............................they score
