One of those arenas that's dark to the point of me enjoying the game less.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

Prediction: Dumb announcers and twitter people will act like if Igor has a good game he's worth 100% of the cap.

 

[Harbour Dog]

First real test of the year for these D pairs.

I know puck drop is at about 7:10 tonight but does anyone know what times the Rempe Reaves fight is scheduled for?

A real gm trades Lindgren now. Pulls a Billy Beane in Moneyball. It’s your lineup Lavy. But Hatteberg is on first.

He didn't put Lindgren back with Fox so it's a win.

Compromise.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Am I the only one that's happy with the lineup? We knew Lindgren would play but everyone assumed he'd play with Fox. Even if Mancini is better Lindgren as a bottom pairing defenseman isn't that bad. He's still serviceable.

 

[Crease]

Lindgren is the perfect partner for Jones.

Don’t wait for injuries. Rotate seven defensemen throughout the season giving guys in the top four periodic rest. Ruhwedel is the injury sub.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

If our first line really gets going this might be one of our best rosters in a long time.

 

[huerter]

we need a full beat writer rebuild desperately

 

[Mike in Houston]

Jones scratched for Ruhwedel. Oh no.

Yes! Flip floppin' time again between the two!

No GM of a team with cup aspirations would trade away defensive depth.

Whatever you think of Lindgren, he's a better option than Ruhwedel or anyone in Hartford.
