The lines I wish Bednar would try is:


Drouin - Mack - Nuke
Lehky - Mitts - Mikko

I think the entire forum has been unanimously wishing for that since the deadline last year.

For some inexplicable reason, this is Bednar's biggest blinder, after his overuse of the top players in meaningless reg season games of course.

I’m so f***ing jacked for this game tonight.

Fully expecting a letdown but idgaf, even if it takes 2-3 games for the returnees to get into a groove this is still a great thing.

Fatass in goal is just the cherry on top.

I wonder if LOC was playing without being 100%? He wasn't his old self and now he's out when we have some players back.

I do feel bad for the other guys that were callups but such is life in the NHL, not everyone can play.

Mikko even mentioned this I believe yesterday when he said the callups probably deserve to keep playing. I don't know that I'd say deserve but I appreciate how hard they worked. I imagine he's thinking of guys like Ivan and Kovalenko here.

Is LOC confirmed as out for tonight?

I know he missed practice but I didn’t see anything else.

Mildly upset that Wood's had a haircut. He suited the "I'm not in control of what's going on" look.

And possibly Georgiev
