Just thought we should get a pre-game talk up, since practice is today at noon (ET) and there is no morning skate tomorrow, as per Zipay.

Final game of the regular season. LETS GO!

Probably, since there is a practice today.

Also,

Could be maintenance days for Zucc and Stalberg. Will see if more info comes out.

Lord Helmet smiling. A rare sight.

The thing I care most about this game is Lundqvist not playing so his SV% doesn't drop below .920...

This should be a line.

Lord Helmet smiling. A rare sight.

Eric Staal being Lord Helmet because of how big his helmet fits him is one of the funniest hockey things.

Is there a record for most consecutive seasons with a save percentage of .920 or higher?

EDIT: Fun facts I found while googling this - this season would be 7 in a row for Lundqvist, Hasek had 6 in a row and that's the highest I've found. Brodeur only got to .920 or higher twice..

I'm gonna guess Zuccs injury is that tweak he sustained vs the Lightning.

Hopefully Zucc and Stalberg are fully healed up by next week. I hope G's injury wasn't as bad as it looked, and he'll actually be healthy by next week. I don't want him rushing back from a head injury

 

[JohnC]

Staal to the top 6 with Zucc out?

Bottom 6 of

Lindberg-Hayes-Fast
Glass-Moore-Hrivik

?

Last game of the season already.

 

[nevesis]

The injuries outside of McDonagh/Girardi aren't real guys. Just in case you didn't know.

I'm gonna guess Zuccs injury is that tweak he sustained vs the Lightning.

Blocked a shot last night and struggled getting to the bench. Looked like he was in bad pain but finished the game.

 

[Mac n Gs]

For ***** and gigs, they should give Tambo the emergency call-up to let him get a cup of coffee in a pressure-free game, so that Hrivik can help with the Pack's playoff push
