[Jaded-Fan]

Now Sully is just ****ing with you.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Why couldnt this game start at atleast 10pm. Ugh.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Oh my god. It still doesn’t start for half an hour.

 

[Andy99]

Riikola is back in guys! And Marleau to L2

eeeeh

 

[EightyOne]

Riikola is back in guys! And Marleau to L2

Tryna feed him a goal

 

[Beauner]

Riikola is in. Common sense prevails. For now

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Sully's not gonna like the way Riikola pivots after taking a practice shot in warm-ups and that'll be enough to play ECHL Trotman.

[Clare2904]

It wasn't me

 

[Darren McCord]

Riikola is back in guys! And Marleau to L2

did they release the lineup?

edit: nvm

@Andy99

You upper or lower level, eh?

 

[Kristopher Letang]

I like San Jose games. The camera angle in their arena is way better than the common NHL angle imo.

 

[Night Shift]

They (we) won't lose

Its got great seats too. Everything feels like it is towering over the ice and close to the action. Even upper corner seats are good.

Upper...

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I didn't know Tanev could play LW. If that's the case, I would like to see a Tanev-Blueger-Hornqvist line. Just buzz saw, chaos.

 

[EightyOne]

Upper...

Cool cool. Hope they get a couple on your end of the ice.

Try not to throw up watching the defensive zone coverage breaking down from the bird's eye view lol

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

What was that conclusion based on?

Yeah I'd like to know too

 

[EightyOne]

Yeah I'd like to know too

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

TIL it's Leh-gah-ray and not Lee-gare.

The more you know.

 

[Empoleon8771]

That's the exact right forward group, so hard to complain about that. That's what the top-9 should stick as and ZAR, Bjugstad and Rodrigues should alternate as the 4th line RW.

 

[EightyOne]

That's the exact right forward group, so hard to complain about that.

it is POSSIBLE that Marleau is too high/too much TOI in a 2nd line role....but yeah, best they can ice, really

 

[Andy99]

I’ll be watching JJ-Letang and Riikola carefully....and new #12...we’re in a middle section so we have a good overview...

He's been pretty good so far, imo. I'm not worried about his ability as much as I am his gas tank. He's the kind of talented depth guy that could pay off huge in a long playoff series, but only if he's got the wheels to get things done. Like you said, probably the best we can do, but be mindful of his minutes down the stretch imo.

Best effect of Marleau being bumped up is Rust back to RW though, where I think he's much better.
