Pre-Game Talk: Week of We Talkin' 'Bout Practice, Man...

[RoyIsALegend]

Oh dear God why?

Just to carry a 3rd goalie for playoffs. Miner/Scheel for the Eagles.

But he SUCKS!

Oh dear God why?

Hopefully just to carry a 3rd goalie for playoffs. Miner/Scheel for the Eagles.

Pretty normal for teams to carry 3 in the postseason. And with them flying to Dallas today, it makes sense.

 

[forsbergavs32]

I don’t see them pulling Miner from the Eagles playoff run unless someone is actually injured

No no I get it, I’m just saying dear god why because he absolutely stinks.

Let’s hope he never has to play an actual minute of playoff hockey.

Lol yeah. I'm guessing they didn't want to rob the Eagles too bad for a guy who's most likely going to sit in the press box for the next two weeks.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Why not just sign Nabokov and bring him over as the 3rd goalie?

 

[dahrougem2]

Someone placed Ovechkin first lmao, 37th in scoring. At least Hughes only got one 5th place vote, which is fair if that person appreciates defensemen.

Atta boy Ovi @LOFIN

[RoyIsALegend]

Same lines but odd D pairings, I guess Lindgren isn’t ready.

Malinski with EJ on the 3rd pairing… two righties together.

 

[Pokecheque]

Why not just sign Nabokov and bring him over as the 3rd goalie?

I don't think they want to burn his first year like that. Besides, the potential of throwing a young goalie who's never played one second of North American pro hockey into the NHL playoffs sounds like the worst idea imaginable.

 

[Cake Malar]

All signs point to Landeskog not playing in Game 1. Guess I was wrong. Bummer.

 

[hockeyfish]

Why not just sign Nabokov and bring him over as the 3rd goalie?

Why burn an ELC year just to sit in the press box.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Bednar with the old switcharoo!

Landy switches from green to 2nd line burgundy in the middle of practice.

Also moves on to PP2 work.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Classic Bedsy. “Stop practicing!!!”

 

[CobraAcesS]

We are forgetting that this guy will play through almost anything. It will have to be bad enough to force him off the ice.

 

[CobraAcesS]

And yet, when we played Dallas a few weeks back who was Bednar trusting against Dallas' top line? Kelly-Drury-LOC.

Bednar loves Kelly the same way he loves Kiviranta.

Bednar got so sick of Colton this season he forced him back to the wing. Colton hasn't had a good season outside month 1 when MacKinnon and the PP was carrying him.

Kelly playing and on the PK means less PK time for 13/62. Win for me, better for the team.

While I agree with you, Colton has a whole other level that is possible, especially in the playoffs. He won't be benched game one, but after that it's possible.

 

[dahrougem2]

Landy and Greasy Jimmy Vesey eh.

5th line just might work. I bet Wood thinks you can dress 21 skaters

 

[Mighty Makar]

Week to week for Robertson.

 

[Balthazar]

 

[RoyIsALegend]

While that’s a positive sign, he’s also been on the “fourth” pairing with Middleton.

Bednar doing a weird EJ-Malinski third pairing with two righties. I guess the idea is EJ even on his off side is better than playing Middleton.

I don’t think Lindgren will be ready for game 1.

TBH the last thing I want to see is EJ playing on his off side

You’d prefer Middleton playing 12-15 mins per game? I dunno man lol, both sound horrendous.

 

[The Pwnerer]

Dallas potentially playing Petrovic over Dumba. Seems like they want to go giant Dmen and see if they can slow us down. Bichel 6'7" and Petrovich 6'5" should be interesting...

Yes

Uhm no, he wasn't.
