Who's ready for a Forbort - Juulsen pairing!?!?

I don't like betting against my favourite team but there may be some money to be made...

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

A consistent 60 minute effort, win or lose, would be nice. Watching 40+ minutes of soft dump ins to corners with no one going to forecheck them was kind of tough in Game 1. Just keep pushing and hammering at them. The best way to keep the puck away from our shaky back end is to keep it in their end.

Wonder what the end result lineup is going to be here. Have to think they recalled Bains with the intent to play him.

Hope we can pull out a good game for Edler’s big night.

Christ. Somehow they managed to downgrade that awful 3rd pairing.

Salary cap, OEL, Poolman and Mikheyev really forcing that. Even if we scraped together enough to upgrade this year the OEL penalty doubles next year so it seriously limits any quality player they could bring in. Add in standard raises for others and yeah ... we're f#*ked there.
