GDT: Sens McClane vs. Van-Gruber, DIE HARD EDITION Live from Nuckatomi Plaza, 10:00PM EST, CBC/SPORTSNET/TVAS2

[Blotto71]

Abramov is a healthy scratch

What?

 

[DanyHeatley]

If Leevi starts:
5-3 OTT win. Sens outshoot Nucks by a mile (42-21) and lay the body down and shelter Leevi

If Ullmark starts.
3-1 perfect game. Top line takes over. Chabot multipoint game.

 

[Senscore]

What?

The other guy we technically have the rights to but will never play here.

Just a joke

 

[PatrickEaves]

Ok Tocchet, you're officially on my naughty list.

Nooooo! Not the Brannchise.

Okay, I can appreciate humor (even if I don't get it).

My issue is that none of the other 4 are listed as "injured", and frankly, I'd like to tell Sportsnet to f*** right off.

Nuckatomi Plaza made me chuckle

LEEVI VS LANKINEN

 

[BondraTime]

The Brann train has left the station, seems the “Canucks got a free top 4 D” hype lasted about as long as could have been predicted.

LEEVI VS LANKINEN

My god they're actually going to try to win the next two. Ullmark vs the Oilers will be a great watch

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Not a fan of Merilainen starting at all.

 

[PlayOn]

Looks like Green is switching up the lines

He's the second best goaltender in the organization.

Hopefully 7kinner shows up.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I like those lines a lot.

 

[PlayOn]

I like those lines a lot.

They are as balanced a combination as we can put together. Greig being able to produce more offense as a complimentary top 6 guy would go a long way for this team, or Perron if/when he comes back.

My first reaction…

They’re not “playing it safe”.

They want both games. Love it.

More balanced than recently

I like those switches as well. Won last game, but played poorly. Proactively making changes rather than waiting until a loss.

It's almost like he's coaching, something this organization hasn't seen in years.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Brady and Stu have great chemistry, nice to see them back together on a line.

Just start writing all your posts with "Not a fan"

Did you get a little hard making this post?

 

[Golden_Jet]

Not possible with a soft player

Great move to scramble the lines up after 5 wins in a row.

Edit: Not that I don't think some changes are good during win streaks, but that's a lot of scrambling.
