...for 5min

I hope not, we are playing Arizon, he should be playing these guys 12-14 minutes, give Sid and others a little bit of rest

 

[AuroraBorealis]

To be honest that's pretty close to my ideal lines, out of the Forwards available. GCR is better this year so I'll allow it!
Pretty big relief that no one else is out besides Blueger after that Jets game. Surprised Rust shook that off.

Only change I'd make is Zohorna in for ZAR, but whatever. I suppose Heinen and ERod could be swapped but I have mixed feelings on that one...
We need someone who's good on the walls like Heinen to play with Kap, because he sucks at it.

I wonder how McGinn will do in this role. Hopefully someone else can develop chemistry with Carter because right now it's only Heinen.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Wait, are we really allowing 34.7 shots per game per the OP?

That stat might be swapped between the two teams. TSN seems to always have at least 1 bad stat error per matchup.

Absent an obvious injury or other reason for unavailability "______ in for ZAR" is not a phrase this coach will ever understand. It would be like taking himself out of the lineup.

ZAR's face is the one Sully sees in the mirror every time he shaves.

 

[Ryder71]

All three opponents this week are out of the playoff picture, we need to bank these points. No excuse not to get at least five out of six points.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Oh good, ZAR.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Oh good, ZAR.

He's somehow going to score a goal tonight isn't he?

 

[HandshakeLine]

I’m just looking forward to some good, clean, ineffectual hard work.

He's the kinda guy dat can bring dahn the Still Curtain n'at! Defense wins championships! Pass me an Ahrn!

 

[HandshakeLine]

As long as he just tries his best.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

You just wait until Jay telestrates what he's doing out there. There's a guy that totally understands the sport here in the year 2022.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

I bet the fourth line scores 2 goals.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Maybe he'll catch fire and overtake Dumoulin by the end of the season.

You keyboard experts just don't appreciate elite defensive greatness when you see it. I could help you with some charts but you just wouldn't get it.

Also he has more points than Favorite Player. Check and mate.

 

[HandshakeLine]

I also really hope we don’t see any exciting offense from the top 6. I don’t want to see anyone playing with heart or heroics out there!

 

[Andy99]

that fourth line is something to behold...Its gonna be fun to watch them

you mean fun to watch how slow they’ll be compared to the rest of the team?

Here's a heatmap that definitively shows ZAR's overall impact:

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Is that Mothman?

Sully did just HS him a few games back.

I mean, I kinda wish he'd do it again, but he did do it.

I see a skull from Hollow Knight. Which I totally wasn't playing during work hours today.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Actually nevermind I'm pretty sure it's Voltron fighting off two giant birds.

Damn these Rorschachs are revealing.

 

[SEALBound]

I was just in Mexico where I had both iced drinks AND suntanning in the desert. I approve and support and promote both.

 

[RSPens]

I just hope that whoever is reffing this game actually know that a hit to the head that breaks someone's jaw should be a penalty (Blueger), or that when a player is tripped (same play as Blueger's injury but on Boyle) it's a penalty or when a player is ran into the boards directly through the numbers is supposed to be a penalty. Because the guys working the game on Sunday sure had no clue what the NHL rule book says. It doesn't help that the NHL can look at the hit on McGinn and think...yeah 100% numbers is okay. Or even worse look at Blueger getting his jaw broken and think...."Yeah, clean hockey hit"

Oh stuff it.
