GDT: Must Win Edition | CBJ @ NYI | 7:30 PM EST

[CBJWerenski8]

I think even the most optimistic fan would agree that tonight is pretty damn important. A regulation win claws us back to two points behind Montreal for the second wild card. A regulation loss puts us at a potential to be 9 points back of Montreal (because of tie breaker) by the next time we play another game, essentially a death knell.

Good news, the top 9 is looking deep!

Trivia question: has Evason pulled a goalie ever this season ?

Monahan back is great, hopefully he's in good shape and not too rusty.

That might be the only optimism I have for the game...

his conditioning should be fine, just hopefully he's comfortable taking faceoffs and shooting

 

[Kazcram]

Chinakhov out?

 

[Cheddarcheese]

LETS GOO WE ARE DUE FOR A WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[majormajor]

Chinakhov out?

Looks like out. Got to make sure Kunin gets the minutes he earned.

 

[Cheddarcheese]

wait is Boqvist playing forward today for NYI ?

 

[Game suspension]

Any idea on lines ?

I guess their idea is they don’t want to play Chinny outside of top 6 which they believe he’s not making it yet

 

[Fred Glover]

Hoping that Monny and Guddy are difference makers

If they insist on keeping Kunin in, for the love of god at least put JvR on the 3rd line. ZAR is an absolute anchor offensively, put him with the other guys like that.

I fail to see the humor in this.

If you tell Chinny to just forecheck and win pucks for his linemates he's probably better than most of our bottom sixers. He's not some dainty scorer, he's a well rounded athlete.

Sarcasm

 

[Doggy]

Sarcasm

I don't remember the exact quote and could not find a video online but it was great...

Mighty Ducks #1:

Kid: I heard you talking to the other team's coach, you said we suck.
Estevez: That was sarcasm, do you know what sarcasm is?
Kid: Nooooooooooo!
Estevez, OK, so you do.

OK, here it is

 

[Doggy]

What's the criticality level of tonight's game?

 

[MoeBartoli]

JD in the both tonight

 

[CBJx614]

wait is Boqvist playing forward today for NYI ?

Yup I saw it earlier, he's playing on the third line

 

[CharlotteJacket]

JD in the both tonight

I'm out of the loop a little. Where's Jody? Is he planting the seeds to move onto bigger things?

 

[aRussian]

Not sure how Monahan and Gudbrandson will look after lengthy absences but will be nice to see them back. Hopefully something translates into having a strong structure again because team has really lost that over many games.

Jody has been on the Monday national games all season
