7 - 3 please.

Id like Brian Boyle to net a hattrick since he is so wholesome, but the giftgiving ends there.

>Kreider - Zib - Vatrano

Oh boy here we go

 

[tlk]

3 actual lines? Yay.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Barring injury Schneider isn't playing again this season is he?

 

[Ruggs225]

Is Copp not on a PP line?

 

[Idlerlee]

Barring injury Schneider isn't playing again this season is he?

Maybe he should legally change his name to Kakko and just show up for work and pretend like nothing.

BTW, it's only 2 games but Gallant seems to think highly of Chytil putting him at center still even with Copp here.

Andrew Copp:

Gallant wants him to play like Mika. I mean a lot of players in the league want to or wish they can play like Mika. Lol

I actually like those lines? Laf back to natural wing albeit 3rd, but this is crunch time and we're fighting for playoff home ice in a likely preview of our 1st round matchup. The games only get heavier. I want the kids to succeed but the moves make sense.

Let's see what Copp can do with those two mofos or if he looks lost trying to figure them out.

Copp is more of a LW that can take draws. He hasn’t played C full time in a couple years. Chytil has always maintained he’s a C and that he’s most comfortable there. Same thing when Goodrow was paired with Chytil, Chytil played C despite Goodrow being better defensively and on faceoffs

I’ve never seen Guardians of the Galaxy but I hold a grudge against that movie for replacing the great Disney attraction The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror!

But last game he left Chytil at center and they were on the same line.

We had that one close win (3-1) and one blowout win last year.

We had that one close win (3-1) and one blowout win last year.

Was there for the blowout win. It was when they had 10% capacity. 1800 fans in the building. Before puck drop, a buddy of mine yelled out to Jarry that he was going to give up 4 tonight. He had to have heard him cause it was quiet in the building.

He gave up 4 in the first and was pulled from the game.
