I update the roster for call-ups & send-downs, but I don’t mess with injuries unless they’re LTIR (Flash), so Semin & Gordo are still on the roster.

Pick SPG for your chance to win probably nothing.

Keith Aucoin had better play a little more solid in his own end than last time.

I’m undercaffeinated, but are these our bottom three lines tonight?

Laich-Mo-Fehr
Giroux-Steckel-Clark
Q-Aucoin-Brads

I’m undercaffeinated, but underwhelmed.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Giroux and Fehr swapped, but that looks about right.

I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.

by Whiter Mage on Oct 22, 2009 12:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

Nah. Giroux plays LW or C, IIRC. Fehr is a RW. I have to think that BB knew that this was going to happen yesterday if Semin couldn’t go, so I have to think that the lines from yesterday were a pretty good pointer.

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But, if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. If you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.

if Fehr’s really a RW, why’d Laugher and Joe spend a whole 2 minutes talking about how he is a LW, but they put him on the RW his first game to help with his defense? I dunno, most wingers can transition fine.

Not quite. I’d have to put 20 and 33 together, and since Nyls was centering the third yesterday while Steckel was on the fourth, so I think you’re going to see:

21-9-16
33-20-17
53-39-10

If line 2 plays cutesy tonight, can we call them the Fehr Bears?

Laich-Mo-Fehr makes sense to me.

I’d expect Laing-Steckel-Clark or Laing-Steckel-Brads to be the shutdown line, and to get 3rd line minutes.

Giroux-Aucoin-Clark/Steckel will probably round it out 7-10 minutes.

just for pissers, how about

8-9-22

Obviously the best lines for tonight would be:

8-20-10
53-9-17
33-39-16
53-19-22

I mean, right?

Balanced lack of scoring?

I’m pretty sure any team with Q-Laing on two lines is effed.

Quadrupole shift time!

One guy just drove his semi as a float. I guess semis are cool.

by zephyr on Oct 22, 2009 12:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

Obviously. We all know that only Brooks Laich can play every position at once, on each line. He just needs the rest of the team to help in the hunt.

Thanks for making me nearly spit my water at the screen :)

then Keith Aucoin had really better step up his game. Not a whole ton of defensive accountability emanating from that 3rd line.

Big chance for 16 tonight methinks, before BB’s Tickle-Me-Fleischmann gets better. Hopefully he’ll get some looks on the PP as well.

zero v. Preds
2:53 v. SJS (when we spent nearly half the 1st period, literally, on the PP).

Did you know...

TSN.ca ranks ATL 5th in power rankings- “the Thrashers have been getting positive results despite getting burned in the shots against department, being outshot by an average of 10.4 shots per game”.
Holy Crap.

Corey’s tweets are awesome that way.

OT Hockey 2/8
Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
